The Lights of Prague

Nicole Jarvis

DID NOT FINISH: 50%

The writing just isn’t for me, I’m spending more time snarking over holes, inconsistencies, or Tumblr-esque phrases rather than actually paying attention properly. The characters lack depth, as do the relationship dynamics, though admittedly I do enjoy the wisp quite a lot. I think it’s an interesting take on the vampire, known as pijavica in here, and lamplighters serving also as monster hunters is great fun. I like this idea of Prague, which I’ve seen other reviewers who have been to Prague praising its descriptions of the city, and Slavic reviewers approving the Czech naming choices, so that’s always a bonus. Overall worth a peek for those interested in monster and monster hunter stories, but I’m jumping ship at the halfway mark after realizing that I’m more skimming my way through rather than reading.
