Lord Of The Vampires (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

As per usual with Gena, this was an easy and enjoyable read with lots of sultry and well-crafted sex scenes between a strong alpha and sexy, capable female. There were some interesting twists and turns early on in the book. However, I felt the plot thinned and the pace waned a little towards the end. Unlike what I have come to expect of Gena, her clarity of expression waned at times too. Her work is usually very crisp and tight allowing you to really focus on the sensual and often beautiful descriptions. I felt that some of Gena’s flare was missing from this book. Despite this lack there was still plenty of sizzle packed into these pages.I enjoyed Jane’s (the protagonist) personality as much as her physicality (some of the descriptions are breathtaking), but I felt that Nicolai (alpha male) was poorly developed, especially given how central he is to the series. As such, their banter wasn’t particularly witty or sharp. Some may even argue Nicolai sounded like a Neanderthal but I reserve judgment on that fact because it is hard to tell whether this was Gena’s intention or not. The shallowness of Nicolai’s character development made it difficult to invest in their relationship at times. However, Jane’s character was so enjoyable that she carried the plot along regardless. Also, there were some major holes in the plot regarding what could and couldn’t cross between worlds; but given that Gena was drawing inspiration between Alice in Wonderland, a few Cheshire Cat/Mad Hatter moments can be forgiven. However, I never once tired of reading about Jane and Nicolai’s romps so Gena still has the magic in her fingertips!Despite a few minor pitfalls, Gena has done a stellar job of developing the majestic world of Elden and setting the stage for the rest of the series. If someone were to ask me for a sexy vamp book to read, this would be on the list for sure.3.5/5 Kitap zaten kısa olduğu için 2 gün gibi bir sürede bitti.Hikayeye gelirsek vampir-insan aşkını anlatan tipik hikayelerden.Tabi değişik olan bazı şeyler var.Mesela Nicolai'nin farklı bir boyutta farklı bir dünyada yaşıyor olması ve Delfina sarayında bir köle olması.Jane bir gün kapısının önünde kutunun içinde bir kitap ve ya defter -ne olduğu bir türlü kesinleşemedi bir kitap diyorlar bir defter- bulup onu okuması ve kendini farklı bir dünyada bulmasıyla başlıyor.Olaylar hakkında pek bir şey söylemek istemiyorum çünkü pek bir olay yok.Kitapta sürekli aynı şeyler tekrar edilmiş.Aynı olaylar aynı sözcükler..Hele ki şu ''Sen benimsin'' kelimesini okumaktan sıkıntı geldi artık.Saplantılı gibi birbirlerine habire sen benimsin yok benim kadınım yok benim erkeğim falan filan diyorlar...Tamam anladık birbirinize aitsiniz aksini iddia eden yok ki!Kitabın çevirisinde bazı hatalar vardı.Şu ''itki '' kelimesi mesela.İlk gördüğümde belki basım hatasıdır dedim ancak yaklaşık 3 yerde daha aynı sözcüğe rastladım.Ne anlama geldiği hakkında hiçbir fikrim yok.Sonunda ise yazar güzel bir yerde bitirecekken azıcık saçmalamıştı.Jane'in ışınlanma aletini yapması ve kendi dünyasından Nicolai'nin yanına dönmesi falan biraz saçmaydı.Hele Nicolai'nin yanına dönünce verdiği haberle tam türk filmlerine bağladı.Gena Showalter’ın Karanlığın Efendileri serisi okunacaklar listemde.Ancak yazarın kalemi o seride de bu kitaptaki gibi kötüyse ciddi anlamda hayal kırıklığına uğrayacağım
