A fascinating, original fantasy world, and a compelling story. Refreshingly, there's no love at first sight here, but a gradual growing of trust and love between two persons from very different backgrounds (a vampire - or, sorry, lyche - lord and a Nightwalker - someone who sells his energy (chi) to...
What just happened here? I'm still blinking in confusion. I think this author who is new to me thinks in a different pattern than my brain follows. Throughout the story, I'm was constantly frustrated because I felt as if I was walking around blind. It's as if this was the second book where I com...
Here's an unusual vampire story: Blacker Than Black features vampires, called lyche, that feed on the energy ("chi") of living things. Black and Jhez are twins who work as Nightwalkers in the Blue Light District, selling their chi to the lyche that prowl the city they live in. One night while with a...
Creo que esto podria calificarse como dystopia. Hubo una guerra en el futuro cercano y el mundo cambió aunque sólo es referido tangencialmente; los que dominan el mundo, el dinero, y todo lo que vale la pena no son los humanos, sino que otra especie llamada 'Lyche' o como les llaman popularmente lo...
A fascinating take on vampires in an elaborately constructed dark fantasy, that left me feeling bored and unconnected at times.What I liked: Excellent and elaborate construction of the world and the characters that inhabit it. Free-flowing writing style that's easy to read. Lovely velvety darkness...
4.5 stars. This was such a unique story about vampires (they call themsevles "Lyches") who feed off of energy or chi. The story centers around twins Black and Jhez (or "Red" as she is nicknamed), who are half Lyche on their father's side. Their father turned their back on them, their mother died,...
The writing was okay and I liked the characters but I felt the worldbuilding was incomplete. I could not get a good sense of all the lyche politics or how the society functioned. Also, there was a big chunk of nothing-happens-now in the middle that was quite a hurdle for me to get through. The en...
I'm stunned. How could a vampire book be so original? So marvelous... so... perfect???yes, I know it seems a little exaggerated but let me tell you not always what we think is a cliché will be a cliché!When I got this book I saw friends saying it was a very well written story (BTW, check the publish...
4.5 starsI absolutely loved this book! I know I say that about quite a few books but this one was amazing, exceptional, just darn right fascinating! It's intense, captivating and I was drawn in from the first paragraph. I just could not put this down.Twins Black and Jhez are experienced Nightwalkers...
