Summary
From New York Times bestselling author Jay Kristoff comes Empire of the Vampire， the first illustrated volume of an astonishing new dark fantasy saga。
From holy cup comes holy light;
The faithful hand sets world aright。
And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight，
Mere man shall end this endless night。
It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise。 For nearly three decades， vampires have waged war against humanity; building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own。 Now， only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness。
Gabriel de León is a silversaint: a member of a holy brotherhood dedicated to defending realm and church from the creatures of the night。 But even the Silver Order could not stem the tide once daylight failed us， and now， only Gabriel remains。
Imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy， the last silversaint is forced to tell his story。 A story of legendary battles and forbidden love， of faith lost and friendships won， of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope:
The Holy Grail。

Some of the best story telling I have read in a long time！ Jay Kristoff pulls you into Gabriel de Leon's life and you never want to leave。 Although this is a fantasy book Gabriel goes through similar situations that we go through everyday such as internal struggles。 It is refreshing to see how he is not perfect and never try to be。 He is who he is。 "It's better to be a bastard than a fool。" This is a book you will not want to put down and will dread the wait of the next book in the series。 Well Some of the best story telling I have read in a long time！ Jay Kristoff pulls you into Gabriel de Leon's life and you never want to leave。 Although this is a fantasy book Gabriel goes through similar situations that we go through everyday such as internal struggles。 It is refreshing to see how he is not perfect and never try to be。 He is who he is。 "It's better to be a bastard than a fool。" This is a book you will not want to put down and will dread the wait of the next book in the series。 Well done Kristoff， well done！ 。。。more

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley。 From start to finish I was captured by the storytelling。 I loved the prose and how it's a story within a story。 I can see the inspiration from Name of the Wind and Interview with a Vampire and The Da Vinci Code， but this somehow takes all three and makes them better。 Pros: I loved all of the creative new ways to insult someone。 The jumping from the past being told and back to the present was really well done as the character that I received a copy in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley。 From start to finish I was captured by the storytelling。 I loved the prose and how it's a story within a story。 I can see the inspiration from Name of the Wind and Interview with a Vampire and The Da Vinci Code， but this somehow takes all three and makes them better。 Pros: I loved all of the creative new ways to insult someone。 The jumping from the past being told and back to the present was really well done as the character that's "interviewing" our main guy asks him to explain things that the reader might not have understood otherwise。 Cons: I don't really have a ton at the moment。 The flipping between French and Scots when the characters speak was a little rough to get through in some places。 Overall， though I love the story and I really cannot wait to get both copies of it that I ordered :） 。。。more

Oh my。 Oh my， Oh… my。 What exactly did I just read？ This is an adult novel， no questions about it。 It’s written beautifully; it has all the fantasy in a vampire series that I adore and it has all the backstory that I long for in a series。 This is the vampire series I didn’t know I needed。 No idea that this would enthrall me immediately and now I’m hooked。The illustrations are fantastic too。 My thanks to St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this novel。 Opinions shared are influenced by Oh my。 Oh my， Oh… my。 What exactly did I just read？ This is an adult novel， no questions about it。 It’s written beautifully; it has all the fantasy in a vampire series that I adore and it has all the backstory that I long for in a series。 This is the vampire series I didn’t know I needed。 No idea that this would enthrall me immediately and now I’m hooked。The illustrations are fantastic too。 My thanks to St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this novel。 Opinions shared are influenced by nothing other than my reading experience。 。。。more

With Empire of the Vampire， Jay Kristoff has once again shown why he is a master storyteller。 Gabriel de Leon is a complex and complicated new hero for Jay’s legion of fans， and soon-to-be fans， to follow over what promises to be an amazing new series。 Jay’s vampires are not the sparkly YA vamps， nor the Dracula inspired vampires of the late 1990s/early 2000s。 They are delectably French-flavored and with the introduction of Gabriel as a half-vampire， Jay has allowed himself a great deal of creat With Empire of the Vampire， Jay Kristoff has once again shown why he is a master storyteller。 Gabriel de Leon is a complex and complicated new hero for Jay’s legion of fans， and soon-to-be fans， to follow over what promises to be an amazing new series。 Jay’s vampires are not the sparkly YA vamps， nor the Dracula inspired vampires of the late 1990s/early 2000s。 They are delectably French-flavored and with the introduction of Gabriel as a half-vampire， Jay has allowed himself a great deal of creative freedom to bend the old rules of vampire lore to his world。 I absolutely cannot wait to share this book with my friends and fellow book lovers who loved Mia of the Nevernight Chronicles as I’m sure they will fall head over heels for Empire of the Vampire while simultaneously continuing to curse Jay for wreaking havoc on beloved fictional characters。 。。。more

I received a sampler of the first portion of this book。 Thank you to Netgalley and St。 Martin's press for the ARC！ While I enjoyed Nevernight when I read it initially as a young adult， there are elements to this book and its writing that just aren’t what I’m looking for these days in my fantasy。 The writing I do think works with the setting。 We’re surrounded by vampires and vampire hunters who are absolutely obsessed with themselves （whether from self-loathing or just self obsession it depends） I received a sampler of the first portion of this book。 Thank you to Netgalley and St。 Martin's press for the ARC！ While I enjoyed Nevernight when I read it initially as a young adult， there are elements to this book and its writing that just aren’t what I’m looking for these days in my fantasy。 The writing I do think works with the setting。 We’re surrounded by vampires and vampire hunters who are absolutely obsessed with themselves （whether from self-loathing or just self obsession it depends） and there’s a frame story here where a legend tells his own story， which is often full of unreliable narrators up their own asses （which I find highly entertaining）。 I think that characterization works here， and is to be expected， and I was honestly excited to see how it would play out。 However， in the first portion of this book， Jay Kristoff did something I am so tired of seeing male fantasy authors do that it has become an instant no-go for me personally while reading， which is this ‘ambiguous consent’ （which is NOT AMBIGUOUS - consent was NOT given， please read the sarcasm within the quotations）。 Every now and then， I happen across a romantic scene in a fantasy book that includes something along the lines of ‘she protested， but her body was already responding and she pulled him closer’ and it’s almost always taken in stride， and the characters fuck， and it’s just NEVER FUCKING ADDRESSED that the main dude didn’t get consent and in fact had a verbal ‘no’。 Here， there are multiple verbal protests and verbal 'no's， and none of them are heeded， as if they're just 'in the throes of passion and can't stop'。 In this scene， the MC then goes on to bite the girl because he’s fixated on her period blood， and THAT part IS treated as fucked up， and while I understand that in this book there’s grey morality that borders on everyone-is-a-villain， my issue is just that it’s there， and I’ve read it enough， and I’m tired of the ‘well he’s not a good dude’ excuse， when your narrative didn't take the stance that the lack of consent was fucked up in the first place。 Find a different way to establish that your male MC isn’t good， because you’re ALSO making him hot， and covered in tattoos， and funny， and charming， and I’m not reeeally sold that you want this guy to be unlikeable （you just want him to be fucked up and still liked by the reader）。I really wanted to give this a solid chance and finish the book beyond this sampler， but I have so many books I’d like to read that I’d rather pick something up that doesn’t do this age-old male led fantasy bullshit。 I do love my grey-morality， but I’m tired of it always being established at the expense of women in the narrative。I won't be giving this a star rating， because I didn't read the full book， but I will not be picking this one up when it's released。 。。。more

I received an ARC of a sampler of EOTV from the publishers via NetGalley。 As the author himself says， this is a book for adults with adult content。 Trigger warnings are needed。 I was taken with the concept right away。 A vampire hunter is in jail， and they are preparing for execution。 A vampire comes in， wants his life story。 He only gives it for a hit of vampire blood。 WHAT！ Wow， okay， you have me right away。 But then it slows down for me as he recites his story。 It was tough to read and get int I received an ARC of a sampler of EOTV from the publishers via NetGalley。 As the author himself says， this is a book for adults with adult content。 Trigger warnings are needed。 I was taken with the concept right away。 A vampire hunter is in jail， and they are preparing for execution。 A vampire comes in， wants his life story。 He only gives it for a hit of vampire blood。 WHAT！ Wow， okay， you have me right away。 But then it slows down for me as he recites his story。 It was tough to read and get into as you go in and out of the interview， jumping to different time periods。 All the different jumping around left me with a lot of questions and confused at certain parts。 A little too confused for my taste。 There were some really great individual scenes with incredible world-building and plots。 。。。more

Thank you， NetGalley and St。 Martin’s Press for providing Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff in exchange for my honest review。This was a lot。 A lot of book。 A lot of characters。 A lot of places。 A lot to sift through。 And a lot of blood。 A lot of adult situations and adult content。 It’s a long book， over 700 pages， and I think I got lost in all those pages。 Just not in a fun way。 There were parts where I got lost， but sadly it wasn’t enough for me to LOVE this one by Kristoff。Heed the author' Thank you， NetGalley and St。 Martin’s Press for providing Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff in exchange for my honest review。This was a lot。 A lot of book。 A lot of characters。 A lot of places。 A lot to sift through。 And a lot of blood。 A lot of adult situations and adult content。 It’s a long book， over 700 pages， and I think I got lost in all those pages。 Just not in a fun way。 There were parts where I got lost， but sadly it wasn’t enough for me to LOVE this one by Kristoff。Heed the author's warning – this is not for children and trigger warnings are needed。What I liked about Empire of the Vampire: the world-building was incredible。 There is a beautiful map at the beginning that was fun to dive into。 The hero’s journey from eagerness to please， in his prime， to resignation was well written。 The story jumps around a lot， from “present” to the MC’s childhood， and back and forth， which at times I was into， and then times， I just wanted the story to unfold。 I really enjoyed the depiction of the vampires。 The balance of elegance and beauty with the grotesque and monstrous was just handled so well。 AND so different from most fantasy stories。For me， I enjoyed the interview scenes more than the actual telling of the MC’s story。 The idea of a vampire interviewing a vampire slayer was brilliant， I just wanted to love this one more than I did。 All that said， I would highly recommend this to fans of Kristoff and dark fantasy in general。 。。。more

I received the sampler ARC which was around 500 pages of the book so I can only review the first half of the book。 All I can say is…WOW！ The writing， the story， the characters…。it will all draw you in for an unforgettable experience。 It’s dark with twist and turns， flashbacks， it has it all。 I can’t wait to finish this masterpiece。 Don’t miss out on this book！
