Some may say that it takes long, but I have honestly really loved without being bored for a second. It must be said that the main characters are simply breathtaking. How not to fall in love with Lucius? I tell you right now, that's impossible! It is not perfect 'far away' but he's so charismatic you can not hate him. It has flaws, and paradoxically, I would tend to say it's the best. Jessica is itself very touching by her naivety and innocence. I enjoyed taking the course of his thoughts and his heart.
The way the story is presented is also very interesting, we alternate - more or less regularly - between what I would call the "action" and the letters sent to his uncle Lucius to express his "advancement" . These letters have me whenever laugh a lot, and they allow to better understand the personality of Lucius, so I can only be conquered!
To conclude, this is a book I recommend you a thousand times! If you have not read it yet, what are you waiting for? Here no "nice" vampires, even if we can find worse. This is a saga that starts already very well and I really want to read on to know the evolution of the plot and characters.
