Title: Infuriating! (And not in a good way.)
Review: Ugh. All I can say is ugh. I stuck through nearly 700 pages with such hope only to be dumped ceremoniously when our authoress realized that if she were truly going to do her story justice, she'd need to go on for another 700 pages! And it had such promise. Dad was suitably aloof, mysterious and yet loving. Daughter was slightly on the dull side but she had potential and was a good listener, which was really all that was required of her. Mom was loving and yet slightly sinister, weirdly believeable as a person. But it just tanked at the end.Another reviewer mentioned the lack of motivation of Vlad Tepes. HE'S DRACULA! He shouldn't need motivation! But that's what all the poking around in books made one expect. That and some nice parallel Cold War intrigue that also never manifested.If you're way into "enjoying the journey" and don't generally concern yourself with plot, go for it. If you expect an author who respects your time and intelligence, I'd take a pass.
