This book is considered a modern classic in the vampire genre. It won the Mythopoeic Award in 2004. I can see why. The world building is phenomenal. McKinley creates a very original world of vampires, demons, weres, and sorcerers, as well as mixed bloods, and their interactions with pure humans. My problem with the book is that there is so much continuous info dumping that I couldn't stay interested in the plot. The book is told in first person, so we are inside the main character's head, and it is a mess. She constantly goes off on very long tangents, which sometimes aids the world building, and sometimes just shows us what a mess she is. It ended up a tedious reading experience for me.
