The Dragon Waiting

This is a complicated book. I know some people love it, some people don't. I can see why it is loved because of the historical references and it has become a classic. It's alternate history with vampires (written in the 80's), and maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I was a little more knowledgeable about the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century. To be honest, I lost interest in the characters at about 60%. There were random scenes happening here and there that seemed to be out of place to me. It was hard to follow the passage of time on this book. The writing is very polished, and the author leaves a lot of action and descriptions to the reader's imagination. Some actions are hinted at, so it's a book that you gotta work it in your brain to get it, I guess.
