Sarah Ash has a unique style where Russian fairy tales meet Dracula. While I feel that her world is rich, I felt that her characters were stereotypical, angsty, and gothic--just the type that I would have liked when I was a teenager.

As an adult reader, I didn't find much fulfillment from these books. I found them to be too simplistic in the political arena, and overly dramatic in the character development. If you love melodrama, romance, and high fantasy, you'll probably like this series. If you prefer subtlty in your fantasy and complex politics, you may want to look elsewhere.

It was intriguing, and frequently enthralling, if a bit awkward in spots. I liked it well enough to keep it and buy the other two.

This was a pretty strange mix of vampire novel and fantasy. Not particularly well-written, but good for an airplane ride or a beach vacation.
