Another entry on par with the previous ones. Rice goes out of this world, literally, to go even further back on the Vampire mythos, revealing a host of new information regarding their origin.
Rhoshamandes is again the villain of the story, and Rice still does a bad job at painting him as such. But all the other characters are they usual self.
The vampire council is establishing the rules to govern its kind when a new threat present to their existence. A new type of supernatural entity appears, and it is unclear what their goals are. A few encounters with them and vampires have turned into bloodshed, but that might just have been a mistake.
