Age of Mycea

An excellent book that I recommend... with action and adventure... with vampires and hunters... full of magic, sorcery, and witchery's... and of course the bad vampires are defeated by our heroes ... and a beautiful love story that will sweep you away!

I lke Nora Roberts' writing style, and a little of that style is in this book, which meant that I actually finished it. The characters were all dull, and the plot, such as it was, was predictable. 2 things particularly irritated me:

1. There is one non-white good guy in the story (in fact I think in the whole book). Only one of the good guys doesn't make it to the end, and colour me not in the least bit surprised - it's King. - the depressingly familiar expendable black character, yet again. Casual racism is alive and well in too many fims and books.

2. This supposedly wily 2000 year old vampire baddy can only come up with one method of attack, namely send a vampire/s to pretend to be humans in need of help - 3 times!!! And guess what? The good guys don't fall for it the first 2 times, but the 3rd time they do!

Not much to say about this one. Vampire romance story, I'm definitely enjoying it. I don't think it's as well written or the characters are as charming as the Key trilogy, however.
