Okay so I ended up reading this and I loved it, like it has so much to offer that's unique but also stuff that if you've ever read a Vampire novel before you're used to the themes, but the brutality of this novel is something I haven't seen in Vampire fiction yet except for Castlevania the animated series. This book had a great story, I liked all of the characters except for Gabe but he did end up growing on me after a while, the villains too were unique for Vampires, I haven't seen archetypes for them in the past which is refreshing, I was expecting the "Lovely dovely one that's actually evil." or the "Just straight up monster with no instinct one." but the main vampires and their different houses/abilities is unique. Most of this book was great for me, def picking up the sequel.
I’m almost halfway through the book and loving it too! My only complaint is the occasional bit of dialogue I find to be a bit edgy, but it’s not a big deal at all.
I enjoyed this book a lot and actually never took Gabe too seriously in general 🤣. He's not cool and successful- I thought that was the point which makes it a special gothic vampire story 🤣. I am really looking forward to the 2nd book - oh and OUI, didn't you know that the only (late) real Mistress of Goth - Anne Rice (and forever in my heart) - established France as the home of all sophisticated brat princes like Lestat de Lioncourt was. Empire of the Vampire is heavily inspired by Interview with the Vampire & The Vampire Chronicles. It's the kind of vampire story Kristoff wanted to tell - in his own way, as you enjoyed so much 😉
Had to come and make a comment 🤣I finished this book and HAD to see what other people were saying about it because I had the best time with this very very very stupid book (also glad I read this book since it's how I found your channel). Its so derivative, and I was able to suspend my disbelief and write a lot of it off until it devolved in the the plot of THE DIVINCI CODE??!
@@BooksRebound IKR!! I started reading because of her review, the more appaled she seemed the more it made me want to read it tbh 🥴🥴 haven't regretted it so far, it's really funny in a twisted way
the "poor little himbo lmao" made my day!! i have an unironic fascination with badly written books, so thanks for the "recommendation" 😂 also looking forward to hear your thoughts on twilight, the ultimate badly written book imo! and why do i feel this is a ramped up version of a vampire chronicles/witcher crossover fic that somehow survived the big Anne Rice Fanfiction Purge?
Oh God, I haven't thought about Anne Rice in ages... I used to love the vampire chronicles when I was an angsty teen in the late 80s/early 90s, but when I got to "Memnoch the Devil", I bowed out. And the whole fanfiction debacle was ridiculous. Then came her Christian phase, and at that point, which as an atheist I wasn't interested in. But before I looked her up just now, I wasn't aware that she had died in 2021.
I’m not even 100 pages into this and I’m glad I found this video. I couldn’t figure out why it was rubbing me the wrong way. The pictures of the characters in the book make them appear so stately and sophisticated and then you have them talking crudely about balls while simultaneously calling each other terms like “little kitten”, VERY CONFUSING and definitely more queer than the writer himself realizes LOL. I mean nothing against it but the characters seem to be at odds with themselves and the hyper masculine thing is just off putting. I also found that the setting descriptions are, at least in my brain, awkward. When he was talking about the vampire hunters village or whatever it’s supposed to be I was so confused. Like, are the buildings on top of these pillars? Are they spaced apart? Is there platforms or are they just resting atop pillars precariously? Idk trying to imagine some of his setting descriptions was clunky and not very seamless.
I admit I'm already predisposed to reading all things vampire, but wasn't sure I needed to pick up another book that isn't top notch. However......the second you mentioned that there are OTT illustrations in the book I dropped it in my shopping cart. Thank you for a hilarious review!!!!
I don't typically watch an entire vid comprising a single-book review, and I'm not sure what made me click on this, but I'm so soo sooo glad I did! Willow, this review had me chuckling & belly-laughing from start to finish. Love your enthusiasm in describing your experience of it! How 'cringe' it was, the 'male power fantasy', the absurd framing device which you likened to the MC being the narrator of his own audiobook... all of it and the examples you cited had me just 😂😂😂. ❤ your channel /content.
Finally! Exactly my thoughts about this book! Kristoff is shouting all the time that his books are definitely not YA, but it seems he thinks what makes book an adult book is over the top swearing and making everything super goth and evil. The prose is terrible, you can really feel like he thinks he’s writing some really poetic, dark melancholic piece of writing, but is all just feels awkward. To me, it feels like a 15 y.o. uber-goth boy thinks he’s creating the ultimetate gothic bloodbath masterpiece, but he’s just not skilled enough. I mean… it super cringe when there are stuffs like “dark as sin/ red as blood, cold as a tombstone etc. On the other hand, it’s catchy and a page turner. I can’t really tell if I love it or hate it.
I’m actually planning a big vampire books list video for Halloween and I don’t think I have time to actually read one of her books beforehand lol whoops!
P.S.: Oh how I feel the last part. I discovered I was nb this year really and a couple of months down the line I can't get enough of japanese delinquent stories abt edgy, amazing looking guys fighting each other bc they're gender af lmao
I have a facepalm moment when I read that someone on Amazon complained about the book for “lacking lgbt.” That’s like criticizing an epic fantasy series for not having a character with Tourette syndrome. It’s just so ridiculous.
Seeing and listening to your beautiful self talking about this is way more entertaining. Also wow your hair looks so soft and I wanna touch it like the creep that I am. >.> But to get back to the book, I still might give this a try someday just so I can laugh at it. Btw I'm listening to What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. It is a queer retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher and I think the protagonist is nonbinary? Either way it's good so far and you should check it out if you haven't :)
I am usually too shy to comment in videos but this made my day. I read the book at the beginning of this year and for me it was like a gamer from league of legends wrote it. Why do they need to insult their mothers so much? 😂 is there another personality in the book besides the insulting super macho one? Besides that, I enjoyed the book, I enjoyed the setting, the fantasy world,..
*"I want you to take this coin to market, and buy me a **_#$%@_** to give."* That... is cool. I mean like, not edgy cool, it is... but... I mean... IT IS.
One of my biggest joys of literature is getting to read something truly bad and still having fun! You could read and discuss the most amazing literature but sometimes you have to sit down with the trash for fun.
There are so many beautiful quotes in this review, I can't choose which one made me laugh the most. Won't read the book for sure, but can't wait for the Twilight reveiw!
Well, it took ten months after this video, but I'm reading it, and yeah... I'm halfway through and agree with you 100%. It's ridiculous, it's a wannabe alpha--male fantasy, a lot of it makes no effin' sense, but it's so much fun. It's like Anne Rice goes YA and back again, borrowing ideas left, right and center. Our half-vampire hero getting turned on by menstrual blood, for example? "Memnoch the Devil", anybody? But make him so edgy that it would make every teenaged edgelord proud. As you said, the hundreds of err... Ducks. The hundreds of ducks given (or not given) clash so badly with Kristoff trying for that air of French vampire aristocracy. At times, I refused to believe that this is not intentional. That Kristoff did not write this tongue-in-cheek, making fun of the genre tropes.
So far this is the most informative review on the book. I appreciate the clarity. I was on the line about reading this book but I'm a fan of the overuse of fuk to make it funny. I want to approach this book the way u did. I liked the part about the cover being similar to how the book was. Over the top. I feel like the people who really hated the book, didn't get it.
I saw this book the other day and have been meaning to look into it to see if it’s worth picking up…..I’m still not so sure haha Also the idea of an otherwise impactful line being ruined by unnecessary edgy swearing is why I couldn’t enjoy the Castlevania Netflix series as much as I wanted to
you guys know you can just like something right? you don't have to like pretend you're above it all the time. It's ironic that everyone's shitting on the cringe main character and then pretending they're too sophisticated for a book like this. like you can just say you like it, no one's gonna jump out and snatch up your gay card from you. it's fine.
One of the few reviewers who gets this book 😂 As for cribbing from better artists, There’s bits of George Carlin “on religion” in there. At least put the ideas in your own words Jay.
I loved this book so much! I know there`s some critic regarding the author choosing magical religious tattooing. Also the story is a little cringe at times. But this book is great. The premise is great. The characters are likable (even edgy kid Gabriel). The art in between is fitting.
"Doesn't give off heat or light or something and no one seems to know why" I think whilst the characters don't know why, I think the reader can guess. Gabriel references that days before "Daysdeath" he was woken by the Earth trembling then days later a shadow covered the sky. Then he says "Abbot Khalid said a great star had fallen in the east across the sea, and it's fires raised a smoke so thick, it blackened the sun". So I think we can safely assume it's the dust that's been shot into the atmosphere by an asteroid. Although I'm not far into the book either so maybe there's some mystical reason why after all.
@@WillowTalksBooks I'm enjoying it so far. It's not high literature but it's interesting reading, which for me is far more important. Not sure about the framing of it yet, I hated it at first but not so bad now.
Willow, I laughed along with your video today. I really am going to take a pass on this book. Nothing puts me in a reading slump quicker than a stinker for a book. I thought as I watched today, are you really going to continue to read this stinker? Answer received. Maybe it will be made into a movie....huh, who knows.
I love a good 'bad' book, especially when it seems like a parody of the genre but at the same time takes itself so seriously. I haven't read his books that he wrote on his own, but read the Illumiae files series, which he co-authored. Have you read it? I don't remember them being as hyper masculine as this - I actually enjoyed it unironically, though I was an edgy teen when I read it, and the main characters are all edgy straight teens saving a spaceship or something. Or it might be because that series was co-authored with a woman and it had some female characters too... so it ended up less male fantasy and more edgy teen fantasy? It also has a unique framing device, being made up of documents like reports and email transcripts and some pages like word art. Very edgy, but also sometimes you can see the authors have struggled to tell certain scenes. They try to work round it by telling some scenes as surveillance reports which basically narrate the scene as an omniscient narrator but more boring
Oh my goodness... I just realized something... It's like the *Steven Segal* of... literature _(if you could call it that)_ Just call any campy, Toxic Masculinty, Cringe book a: *"Steven Segal."* Or whatever terminolgy that involves *Steven Segal.* Would be funnier if you made a playlist after that.
Huh... A 14 Year Old who has love for a franchise of his choice, has better storytelling than a... *"Author".* ...that means... I HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS, LESS GO.
I can't do bad in a good way with literature for some reason, I had to bail on this one halfway through and I think it has made me a little more wary of genre fiction that attempts prose.
@Books and Bao oh God. I didn't mean this to come off as a criticism of you or anything. Love your reviews and I found you describing the book infinitely more entertaining than the book itself. I definitely can see how it'd have the same sort of appeal as a wild B movie.
Oh my God, you’re gonna read Twilight hahaha. Out of curiosity, have you seen Castlevania on Netflix? The show is done but I hesitate te recommend it bc the creator is apparently a terrible person but I had a lot of fun watching it

Couldn't agree more

Can't believe the framing device is... an Interview with a Vampire...

Haha I’m flattered
Me too 🤣
Gabriel is a himbo! That’s a perfect description, lol. I’m on page 348 and I’m loving the crazy, ridiculously dialogue and the great story.
