Enjoyed a couple other books in Yarbro's Saint-Germain stories but this one is rather lackluster. Rich in historical detail, enjoyable if a bit repetitive main character (well, if you're not totally allergic to non-monstrous "vegetarian" vampires by now), but... a plot, my kingdom for a plot.... ( ) Chelsea Quinn Yarbro tries to distinguish her vampire tale by taking on unsavory realities of life as the undead - it takes years to heal and with no blood flowing through your veins, it's not possible to get an erection. You can still turn a woman into a vampire by giving her 3 orgasms though. I'm honestly not sure what to say about a book that includes dialogue like "you'll not put your rope of manflesh into my love tunnel." I do have to give Yarbro credit for careful historical research into the life and torture skills of the legendary Tamerlane, but the plot of this book is a train wreck. It does go by pretty quickly, but that's no reason to pick it up. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesSaint-Germain Cycle: Chronological Order (India (1399-1404))
A Feast in Exile draws readers back to the time when the Mongol hordes of Timur (known in the West as Tamerlane) swept across fourteenth-century India and Asia. Delhi's civilized veneer crumbles along with its walls. Foreigners, which the vampire Saint-Germain-here called Sanat Ji Mani-surely is, lose their positions, homes, wealth, and sometimes their lives, if they cannot escape the falling city. Before he can flee Delhi, Sanat Ji Mani must ensure the safety of Avasa Dani, his beautiful ward, who has been abandoned by her husband. Sanat Ji Mani's love has awakened Avasa Dani's every sense; even she will become a vampire upon her death, but she finds no terror in this fate. Avasa Dani and Rojire, Sanat Ji Mani's servant, successfully make their way out of Delhi, but Sanat Ji Mani himself is trapped. His life is bought by his skills with medicine, but, at Timur's command, he must travel-by day, and exposed to the sun-with the conqueror's army. Crippled and unable to escape, he knows that his vampire nature will soon be revealed, and then... Avasa Dani, with a worried Rojire at her side, considers her options as a woman without a visible male protector in a land and time ruled by men. While one of Sanat Ji Mani's allies searches desperately for the missing vampire, Saint-Germain and a young acrobat, with whom he has escaped from Timur's forces, make their slow and painful way to freedom. The journey changes them both forever. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
