Similar to the Inkeeper Chronicles but with a Steampunk vibe. ( ) "Twilight Seeker" had a strong start that left me intrigued by this unique urban fantasy filled with demons, vampires, demons, and more. Sadly it lost its momentum when our 'daring' hostess Lynher is forced to leave the station, a safe haven for supernatural beings, with Ghost before their 'wild' journey begins. Why the fuck am I saying?! There wasn't anything wild about their journey and what it actually was was a whole lot of nothing happening. There was obviously great potential for this book but I don't think it was thoroughly thought out to really create a solid plot and likable characters. I just found myself bored with this read, and was already done and over it before the halfway way mark which probably was a contributing factor as to why I had skimmed pretty much everything after that. Overall I may follow-up with the next installment but that's a big maybe. I knew Pippa DeCosta wrote urban fantasy, I just never got around to reading her books… until now. And The Daybreaker series is just what I’ve been looking for! While she’s her own writer, humans like to compare things, so for me, her writing reminds me of Kim Harrison’s, The Hollows and Laurell K. Hamilton’s, Anita Blake series… before the series was 90% sex… when I really enjoyed it because there was a solid story. I’ve been wanting to find a new series since I don’t read Anita Blake any more. Kim Harrison had stopped writing the series, although she decided to start up again with American Demon, which comes out in June, and I am so excited! And Jim Butcher hadn’t put out a new book in the Harry Dresden series in six years… although this year we’ll be getting two new books in that series!!! Twilight Seeker has all the essentials in an urban fantasy; complex characters, a well developed world, it’s fast paced, and the stakes are high for everyone. And by placing the story around a train station and hotel, DaCosta has set up a series with so much potential with new guests arriving all the time, which means lots of new adventures for the reader. The train may or may not be a living thing (we all know it is…) and it reminded me of the short story arc in Lost Girl that had the Death Train in it, which was a purgatory that exists in a dimension outside of the physical plane. And if you’ve never watched Lost Girl, but love urban fantasy, do yourself a favor and binge. And do yourself another favor and read Twilight Seeker. I’m going to go get book two now, Night Scourge, and lose myself again in this amazing world! inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
