Chelsea Q. does it again!, Jan 25 2011
Once again Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has written a feast of a book. Her stories about Saint Germain have a lovely, lyrical quality, and this book is no different. The lonely, long-lived vampire, Saint Germain finds himself in a situation that isolates him from all of his loved ones. Without help, and in a precariously defended monastery, he has to navigate his way through a year under threat of invasion by the forces of Attila the Hun. Of course, he has a new love interest...Nicoris. She is certainly more interesting than some he has had, but ultimately, Nicoris is not as engaging as his better loves; the ones that stay with him.
Fans of well-written, historically relevant fiction will love the gentle, absorbing story Chelsea Quinn Yarbro has crafted. Fans of Saint Germain will find one of her better stories about her gentleman vampire. Either way, it is a story to be savoured slowly, and consumed with respect for its making. I loved it.
