That book was better-written than a lot of vampire novels (which isn't saying a lot, but still) but it was so exhausting. If I never ever read about charms again, it'll be too soon, and the main character was so often on her last emotional and physical legs that it just had me wanting to hold her down and force-feed her caffeine so she'd stop going on for pages and pages about how tired she was. That's a feature in a lot of McKinley's work, though, main characters who on constantly on the brink of falling over for a third of the book. I actually liked the bits about baking the most, though.

Also I was irritated when the awesome, truly scary and inhuman vampires were reduced to potential fucktoys again. Is there any kind of animate blood-drinking corpse that a heroine in a vampire novel won't eventually try to bang? I mean, really.

Probably my favorite part of the book was the potential fucktoy literally throwing her off him not for any "don't touch me I'm a monster" noble woobie reason, but because he knows that they can't afford the distraction from stuff like 'trying not to be killed.' At least the bloodsucking potential fucktoy is trying to be sensible.
