About this listen

Penta was a horseman of great renown - some might even say he was legendary. Now in his retiring years, he is ready to watch the setting sun from the porch with his wife of many decades. But when unexpected violence takes her and everything from Penta, he must learn how to survive as an unwilling vampire.

Set in the fantastical world of Kinthur and filled with magic and heroes, Penta’s journey will take him across strange lands and encounters with creatures of darkness and light. He must now find a balance between the man he once was and the growing darkness that now lives within him calling for blood and power.

I liked the beginning of how Panta became a vampire. However the story is more of a written account of a vampire's journey hiding in plain sight, how he slowly gains political power/wealth and settles down in his old age. There's lengthy narrative about Court Life, who's sleeping with whom, what certain people get up to etc. TBH I found it slow and a bit boring because there wasn't much action, mystery, thrill etc. Not a lot happens at least by the two thirds that I read. It's more of a memoir and unfortunately it didn't hold my interest so wasn't able to finish it.

I was given this book for free of my own choosing and I voluntarily left this review.

Vampire in plain sight

Another vampire book. Set in the past. Lots of peasants get munched on. But then... it takes a turn. Our vampire is kind. He’s a war hero. It is a better “lord” to his people than others. Magic is real, and he learns it. This is an involved tale that reads more like historical fiction than fantasy in many ways. It tells of good morals and good deeds. We mourn our vampires prior life even as we cheer for him is his struggle to live amongst some pretty evil people. I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a fair review
