So...this is only the second HG novel I've read (the first being so awful that even mentioning it makes me mad) and it wasn't bad (though I'll be honest and say my expectations weren't all that high). There's a lot of Irish history/folklore included so if you're not interested in the subject, you might want to avoid reading this. Personally though, I like the history lesson weaved into the overall story and I now know a little bit more about St. Patrick's Day too!
Most of the book is from the h's pov, (at least 75%), which in most cases I dislike, but here it seemed to fit the story better than having equal shares of the H and h's perspective. (too much of the H's POV would have given the story away).
There was a good amount of romance though not in the typical way (for most of the novel the h is officially "with" someone else). And most of the story is driven by what the Hero doesn't tell the heroine.
There was also a lot of interaction with relatives, which if you seen it remind me of the family dynamics from the Black Donnelly's (a short lived NBC drama). The minor characters were easy to like as well, and I wouldn't have minded learning more about them.
The suspense part of the novel was a little convoluted. The ending bothered me,(it seemed like it didn't all tie together somehow) though it did surprise me as well. I'd say if you're going to read "Night of..." (and don't mind the history lesson) try to read it all in one sitting, just to keep the whole story straight.
