I read this book and it has so many good things. The author has created a fascinating world. My vampire system is in the future and it's nice to read about the new technology and the many different planets. Earth is just to small for this story. I liked it so much that I also read my dragon system and now I'm reading the werewolf system.
But although I like the story, I can't give it a five stars. To begin with, who let a child alone? His parents are gone to the war and Quin is 10 the moment that he got the news that his parents are death. At that time he is alone for a few years and can't hardly remember his parents. I just don't understand why nobody took care of him? And for Richard Eno to only give some money so that he has it's own appartment? Why not hire someone to look after such a young boy?
And I'm still mad about the character development from Hayley. She was okay in the first part of the story when she was just a nurse. But why make her a succubus? And give him a hand??? That part wasn't neccesary in the story. It just doesn't ad anything. It would have been nice if there was more development between Helene and Quin. Somekind of attraction on both parts, so that Quin could realize who he really loves. And for Layla to wait more then 1000 years?
Some scenes were to long. Many chapters where there is war and fighting. Just scanning trough waiting for anything interesting. But believe me, it's worth it. If you can get through those chapters a good story follows.
