These are both from that trilogy, and are from the book, The Vampire Prince. They are basically superior humans, but with the weakness of not being able to go out during the day.ĭarren Shan was something I read a lot when I was younger, about GCSE age, and the Vampire Rites books were my favourites. It portrays them as noble creatures, who are strong, have excellent senses and reflexes, extra hard nails and bones, who don’t kill or transform those who they drink from, can’t walk around in sunlight (almost because of an allergic reaction, but also because it damages their incredible senses) and who can be killed by a stake through the heart, but also a gun, a fire, anything that can kill a human. This series is about Vampire, but Vampires with a twist (a considerable better twist than Twilight).
I’m planning to be there.So these drawings are from an old favourite of mine…. It’s clear that there are even greater challenges ahead for Darren and his friends. He’s also realizing that the side he’s on doesn’t always do the right thing. It’s nice to see Darren starting to think about the implications of war. In fact, this is one of the most intense and emotional installments so far and it should be a hit with its target audience. Several of the events in this story are predictable (such as how Darren would be saved at the beginning), some of the events are really hard to believe in, and the centuries-old vampire princes are surprisingly immature and impulsive, but that didn’t make the story any less exciting.
But he’s still under a death sentence, so he risks his life to return with a warning. If Darren doesn’t tell the other princes in time, all the vampires in the mountain will be wiped out. Kurda plans to let their enemies in as soon as he’s crowned. He managed to escape from Vampire Mountain, but now he has learned that the vampaneze are hiding in the caves in the mountain and that Kurda, who’s about to become a vampire prince, is a traitor. When he recovers, he has a big decision to make.
OK, it’s no big surprise, I guess, that Darren survived the events of Trials of Death. Still, it’s my job to say something about it, so I’ll do that. In the previous book, Trials of Death, author Darren Shan left us on a cliffhanger and I’m pretty sure that most readers will be running out to pick up this book, The Vampire Prince, no matter what anybody says. Warning: This review contains spoilers for the previous books.
