Plus I think I preferred Alexsei to Dmitri. I think Iuda is a magnificient ‘baddie’, he’s just so evil! I don’t like him but he’s intersting to read about. On the whole I think it’s a great series blending history with horror.

I truly hope Kent writes more stuff with vampires, if you think about it he could just adapt this to fit to so many different eras until he brings it up to date. And, I think he’s a good writer.

The Third Section really worked for me, i think because I really got into the stuff that Kent was focusing on – the slower plot line, Tamara’s dark past and her tragic search for her parents, Dmitri’s new relationships, Iuda’s absolute psycho-ness.

i like my fiction really, really dark. the absolute opposite of how i like read life to be!

do you think he’s really going to be able to wrap everything up in just one more book? I don’t want this to be another one of those never ending series, but I do want Kent to write more stuff with vampires.

Plus, I like the Russian setting and the people and place names. It is a long series, probably nearly 1400 pages so far (or maybe more) and it’s definitely not a fast paced read and is time consuming – so I suppose it depends on how many series you’re already in the middle of and what your TBR pile looks like.
I probably shouldn’t have taken on another series – I’m already doing a few and as one of those is Games of Thrones (which as you know is enormous!) I could have done without another mega series – but, I keep reading people’s blogs and liking the sound of things, and one thing leads to another…..
Think maybe I should go back into isolation under my rock!
Lynn :D

I’m with your granddaughter – read The Hunger Games! Really!! It’s so much better than you expect. I didn’t fancy it at first, particularly the idea that it’s children competing against each other in a game to the death (sounds really awful doesn’t it) but it’s done so well.

What I was meaning with the blog button – was one of the buttons that I could press that would notify me (with an email) when you put up a post. Then that way I won’t miss your pictures?

I have a few people’s blogs that I follow that way but I don’t think they’re identified on my blog (maybe I should check??)

Anyway, take care
Lynn :D

I think so. But I don’t use those Follow Buttons, to see new posts, on blogs I like to view.

I made a separate, private blog. And put the Blogger thing on it, which shows the blogs I like to read. And when each has a new post. It’s the easiest way for me to know when people have put up new posts.

I have a link to it, for myself, on my Sidebar. It’s called “My Little Posse” but it’s just for me, since it’s private. I don’t like to show a list of blogs I like to read. If I change my mind, and don’t want to read a blog anymore, I don’t want hard-feelings, over my taking it off my list. And if one shows one’s List, on their blog, there could be hard-feelings. Just saying…. :-)

I’m a wimp and could not read all that…… Dismal sounding stuff.

I can’t even read “The Hunger Games,” although my Granddaughter practically begged me to do so. Brrrrrrrrrr… To dismal and killing. Yes, I am a wimp. -giggles-

And of course, I am thus missing a lot of reading. But, we have to know ourselves too.
