Title: A beautiful and literate re-invention of the vampire novel
Review: This is really a four and a half star review, almost a five. The novel is, for the most part, superbly written, gorgeous in its descriptions, sure-footed with its characters. The author's ability to re-invent the vampire genre 110 years after Stoker launched it is amazing. (It may be said that Anne Rice re-invented the genre once already, but Kostova's effort is superior in every way.) There are some draggy and confusing parts as we get toward the end, and I think the novel really could have been shortened a bit, but overall, this is a masterful work of literature.
