Ich bin auf goodreads auf das beste Preview gestoßen, dass ein Autor mal selbst über sein Buch verfasst hat (In dem Fall Jay Kristoff bei "Empire of the vampire"). Und fand es ziemlich witzig und sehr treffend xD
""EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE is not a book for children. It's basically what would happen if INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE hooked up with NAME OF THE WIND in an S&M club while all eight seasons of GAME OF THRONES streamed in the background (consecutively not simultaneously). It is not a book for children. It concerns an ex-monster-slayer named Gabriel de León, who was once quite-the-awesome but has been having a tough time of late and has become a bit of an edgelord, but he mostly gets away with his drunken "I am the night" routine, because who doesn't like a tall, dark, half-vampire dude with magic tattoos and a tragic past and beautiful hair, honestly, that shit is money in the bank where's my Emmy.
Before you ask, the vampires in it do not sparkle. Not that I have anything against vampires that sparkle, anyone working in publishing in 2020 owes Stephenie Meyer an enormous debt of gratitude— But yeah, my vampires don't so much sparkle as murder you and your whole motherfucking family, and the only reason they pursue 16 year old girls (or indeed anyone else) in this book is because vampires see them as food. (Team Damon 4 life btw)
The book is quite long. It's rather violent. It's somewhat gay. Like, not Orange is the New Black gay, but you're talking to the man who wrote Mia fucking Corvere, I'm building up to it, give me some goddamn credit. It is quite smutty and bloody. "Bloodsmutty" if you will. Honestly, there's a blood-drinking blowjob scene in there, so if that's not your thing, just back slowly out of the room while avoiding eye contact, I won't be offended (Hi, Mum).
But it's not a book for children. So, if the bookstore puts it in the wrong section alongside ILLUMINAE and you find your baby reading it whilst bleeding from the eyes, before you send me an angry mail, pls consider that I warned you."
Hier noch schön unterlegt mit Gifs ^^
(und btw ich lese grade den zweiten Band und es ist schon sehr awesome xD)
