This is the first book in this series where I'm actually questioning how I feel about it. Kurda was executed because he took the wrong path in trying to aid the vampires. He was truly trying to save his race. He may have screwed but, but they'll never know because they acted rashly and wouldn't lis...
I absolutely love how action-packed this series is. There is always something happening, but it never feels overwhelming. Darren got his first kiss and girlfriend. I really like Debbie as a character. There are many girls that age (or any age, really) that would not have reacted that well to Evra, e...
Another quick Darren Shan book.There was action here, as there usually is, but this one also included a little side romance for Darren. I feel bad for Debbie. For Darren disappears for 13 years, then reappears as her student. He lies to her and tells her that he has some aging disorder then her neig...
I didn't care for this one as much as the others. I'm not sure why. It could possibly be the lack of setting. In previous books, they were either at the Cirque, Vampire Mountain, or hotel. In Hunters of the Dusk they were all over the place.I am glad Darren and Mr. Crepsley returned to the Cirque fo...
A lot happened in this book, but I think it was still the most boring of the series so far. A lot was at stake (no pun intended lol). Still, the trials got repetitive. They were all different, water, caves, fire, boars, but the story was pretty redundant. Darren faces a trial. Gets injured. Rests. F...
Let's just skip the pleasantries and go straight to the OMG! part, shall we? Darren has to face trials to the death. The death?! Isn't that a tad extreme for a kid? I mean, sure the older full vampires did it to become Generals, but they were FULL VAMPIRES BECOMING GENERALS, not half-vampires lookin...
I remember now why this series stuck with me for the last 11 years. The great thing about Darren Shan is that everything leads up to something. Nothing is left to chance and nothing is ever meaningless. Throughout the book there were so many clues about what was going to happen and even outright fo...
This story is brilliant in its simplicity. It's clear from the beginning that this series was written for the Goosebumps graduates. The writing is simple and well paced. There isn't a lot of down time with the plot. It moves along well. That combined with the familiarity of the vampire, makes this q...
