I liked the first half better. Hadn‘t read any of the other books (this is #23 in the series) but you can follow the mythology well enough. Giving it a pick because I liked that it started with a 62 year old heroine and was a fast, mostly entertaining read. Dante didn‘t narrate as much as expected. Different take on vampires. Ended on a cliffhanger (setting up book #24), but not committed enough to see what happens to Tomasso.
