Title: Weak attempt at historial romance?
Product review: Sadly disapointed. This novel is a weak attempt to capture an interesting time. The title leads you to believe that the main character is Vlad III, but he is only a minor villan in a tepid romance. She skips crucial events that might make Vlad more sypathetic, while still inserting angsty bits about the death of his family members, just to confuse the reader. The dialogue is stilted and very false, considering the era, and the writer pays too much attention to the historical accuracy of the character's clothing, as if to make up for this. Badly researched overall, it's nearly as painful as the impalements she describes. I would suggest Augustyn's Vlad Dracula: Dragon Prince over this drivel any day.
