Loved the serie, loved the book. 3.5 stars
Michal and Dione are back for their third novel. This time the vampire terrorist organisation Societas Draconistarum are back at it, and now intend to do real harm. Ohh and then there remains the open case, of the headless corpse.
The Princeps Venator is both one of my favorite vampire and Niall Teasdale series. The world is wonderfully written and ever expanding. Teasdale manages to make the world feel big and complex, while still telling a compact story. Especially the more grounded tone of this series made it quite believable among the heaps of 'Secret supernatural Society' books out there.
As such the slight departure from this grounded approach (view spoiler) felt a bit off from the rest of the series. Even so I had a marvelous time reading this latest Princeps Venator novel.
Rerecorded for readers who enjoy a more grounded approach to vampires. And of cours for fans of Mr. Teasdale!
