The Historian

Even though I have a couple issues with this book, I still loved it and it kept me guessing, so 5 stars.

The biggest problem I had was with the ending. I still like the concept of the ending, and don't think that should change, it just felt a little rushed and too tidy. Also...isn't that vampire librarian still out there somewhere?

The other thing that kind of bothered me was the portion of the story told via letters from her father. I know that if it was written how an actual giant set of memoir letters were written it might be a little less immersive than the narrative style it has. However, maybe it would have made more sense not to have chosen to write that part as letters? No one remembers full conversations and feelings that in-depth 18-20 years after the fact. So did he just make up what is likely close enough to have filled the gaps? Or is he some freak genius with an amazing memory that actually was able to remember all of that?
