I absolutely hated the main character and found him so insufferable even when he was trying not to be insufferable he was still insufferable.

I purchased Empire Of The Vampire expecting the same results and was severely disappointed, this book was a thick rambling mess that got me feeling frustrated. I usually likes what Jay Kristoff writes like the Aurora series(Aurora Rising, Aurora Burning and Aurora's End), those books are really good and I've placed them in my too read again shelve. Well what can I say about this book that put me in a three month long reading slump and caused me the queen of trying to persevere through books so I can give them a fair chance almost DNF this book? I will adding and editing this list as time goes on. * Abbot Khalid (allegedly deceased off page) When referring to patience, is he referring to his daughter or to the literal definition of the word itself? Perhaps a character that will be introduced in book #2.0?Ģ.

which means he’s referring to someone else. He has never referred to Astrid as “Lady” or “my lady”, only ever as “my love” and “majesty”. He ran one thumb across his fingers, the letters inked below his knuckles.ġ. The horizon, red as his lady’s lips the last time he kissed her. (There must also be a reason why she chose to knight him and why she’s also implied to be a better ruler than her husband.) So, if Gabriel has already been summoned to her as her chevalier, what was it for? And if he hasn’t been, then what will he be summoned for? After Empress Isabella knighted Gabriel, she expressly stated that when she would call on Gabriel (and she asserts that she most definitely will) and he must answer her summons.What caused/created the tear drop tattoo on Gabriel’s face and why is it so relevant?.Is Gabriel planing an escape from the dungeon he’s held captive in (in present day)?.How does Gabriel kill the forever king, and does he kill all of the Princes of Forever before he kills the King?.

Is Dior really the descendant of the Redeemer? If she isn’t, then what is she?.

How did Liathe/Celene become an Esani sanguimancer vampire with ancient blood when she was turned by a Voss?.

Who are the Esani/Faithless? And why are they considered damned even among vampires?.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE (BOOK #1.0) BELOW. All my theories, the unanswered questions I have after the events of book #1.0, and the status of all the characters introduced thus far.
