I'm not really one for vampire books. Or tragic romances. But this book blows everything else out of the water.
It's really well written. In the beginning, I didn't know if I was going to finish it, but by the end I couldn't put it down. It's not annoying about vampires, and it's not only about vampires, and the tree stories are never formulaic; each is it's own individual thing. The characters are interesting, and hte line is drawn very finely and very well between human values and night people values. They all work out, in one way or another, but not always in ways you could have anticipated. Even when you can tell what's going to happen how it happens is so interesting it doesn't matter.
The pace is unusual, and the mood transitions perfectly from light to heavy and back again. Recommended if you've never read a vampire book you like.
