Empire of the Vampire (Empire of the Vampire #1) by Jay Kristoff--Starting September 20th, 2021
Hey, I already read the first half of this in a sampler but I'll join you for the second half if that's okay :)
No news on my library copy :( I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it comes in on time.

Maddie wrote: "6%"Phahaha. This update made me laugh!
Wow, you are flying through it!

I just started yesterday and I am enjoying so far.
Maddie wrote: "6% [spoilers removed].."I thought that as well, but I think it's styled after Interview with the Vampire, since Anne Rice is someone Jay looks up to.

Maddie wrote: "How far in are you? I need to pick this back up soon and make some progress but it's so giiiant"I think I'm close to halfway?? I only have the audio currently so I'm not certain. I'm in book 4 out of 6. And six looks like the longest by far.

I definitely see similarities between the two.
Maddie wrote: "'When there's little you can do, do what little you can.' Such a good quote."Ahh, a lovely that. I read the first half digitally and found so many incredible quotes. I'm listening to the second half via audio as my library loan hasn't come in yet and I'm missing making a note of them!

It's only been two months since I read the first half and I am struggling to understand the story again. All your thoughts are really helping me as I'm like... who are all these people??

The faithful hands sets world aright.
And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight,
Mere man shall end this endless night.
It has been twenty-seven long years since the last sunrise. For nearly three decades, vampires have waged war against humanity; building their eternal empire even as they tear down our own. Now, only a few tiny sparks of light endure in a sea of darkness.
Gabriel de León is a silversaint: a member of a holy brotherhood dedicated to defending realm and church from the creatures of the night. But even the Silver Order couldn’t stem the tide once daylight failed us, and now, only Gabriel remains.
Imprisoned by the very monsters he vowed to destroy, the last silversaint is forced to tell his story. A story of legendary battles and forbidden love, of faith lost and friendships won, of the Wars of the Blood and the Forever King and the quest for humanity’s last remaining hope:
The Holy Grail.
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Nevernight Chronicle, Jay Kristoff, comes the first book of an astonishing illustrated dark fantasy saga.
