Review:
Not a vampire story, but that is fine. This is more of a fierce Cinderella coming of age story. I feel like there was a lot more story here. Less dramatic jumping out of chairs and throwing them to the ground in the process and more discussion of the difficult decisions several of the minor characters experienced. Less bodice heaving (unknown to the protagonist, who was just sort of confused) and more a focus on how this great power came to sitting around and sigils awaiting the right moment to be unleashed. There is a great deal made of one of the characters having "the sight," but the only time it is actually used, it is clear that there was no sight. As a young adult novel, this was very violent. As an adult novel the whole plot unravels so clearly and so relentlessly that it is not an interesting read.
