Book Reviews of Valentine's Resolve (Vampire Earth, Book 6)
Book Review: running out of steam?
Summary: 3 Stars
E.E. Knight's "Valentine's Resolve" is the sixth installment in the Vampire Earth series. The series is set in post-apocalyptic Earth, in which an alien species at war with itself uses humanity as a pawn. The plot of the books, however, is not the strength; rather, Knight creates compelling and often believably conflicted characters. The protagonist, David Valentine, remains intriguing in this book, but with much less depth than in the first five. Knight seems to have tried to confer to Valentine the literary equivalent to the "10,000 yard stare"; he seems tired, somewhat bitter, and resigned to his lot, but it doesn't entirely work. Even the brief interludes with Valentine's old mentor and partner Duvalier are not enough rekindle the spark. I can't escape the feeling that Valentine is running out of steam.
While the series never was entirely plot driven, the flow of this book truly meanders across scenes that neither provide depth of character nor create an especially interesting story. Book six is driven purely out of the impressive momentum generated through the previous books. If you've read them, then without doubt you'll read this one. However weak the effort in book six, it can hardly derail the rest of the startlingly good Vampire Earth series. All of us who've read this series recognize E.E. Knight as a writer worth reading.
Summary of Valentine's Resolve (Vampire Earth, Book 6)
After three years of exile from humanity's war against the Kurians, David Valentine returns to battle. The Lifeweavers, Earth's allies in the conflict, have mostly vanished, but those that remain are held captive by an overlord known as the Seattle Kurian. To free them, Valentine must convince the legendary resistance fighter known as the Marshal to join his cause. But the Marshal is something of an overlord himself.General Books
