This is a very intriguing tale. Told in a modified third person, it switches point of view between Peredur, a brethren; Tanwen, the woman he loves; and Cavan, the wise woman’s son who loves Tanwen. Normally not a big fan of love triangles, but this one has so many twists and turns and unique characteristics that it worked for me.
Brethern, vampires that aren’t vampires (you’ll have to read the book to understand) and vampires that are vampires dominate this book. However the complexity of these two factions and the war between them and how humans fit into it is flawlessly portrayed. This could easily become a hopeless tangle web with no direction, but Julia Phillips Smith skillfully weaves the threads into a beautiful tapestry of a story.
A must read, I give this story 5 out of 5 clouds.
