What I Didn’t Like:
- A lot of this one is unrealistic. Be ready to suspend disbelief a little to enjoy this one. I don’t just mean the obvious parts. There are things that are supposed to be realistic that aren’t.
- Repetition. The constant sunshine exposure question is a good example. Things are repeated a lot and it gets a little tiresome.
- The characters are a little flat. None of them really seem to have a personality. Some of them have goals but most are pretty one dimensional.
What I Did Like:
- Part 2 ups the ante and gets WAY more intense. Of course, without the intro we wouldn’t have understood part 2 so the timing is perfect!
- The vampire queen mythology is a fun one to play around with and I liked this modernized take.
- Action scenes were well written. Easy to visualize what happened and it seemed mostly realistic. I also liked that everyone is not accurate every time.
Who Should Read This One:
- Vampire fans, specifically those looking for a modern take.
