Overall: loved it I was a little bummed out by the ending. The book take this very odd turn (really can't say what it is as it would spoil it), but after that, I just wasn't as in love with it as I was in the beginning...I cared a bit less about some of the characters and a great deal more for others. However--great read. Worth your time and money, I think.

For me ‘The English patient’ has always impersonated the beauty of the sick-minded, the peace that comes after the cruelest war, the flight towards peaceful death after the devastation that life has been putting you into. ‘The English patient’ is mostly a story of passion – that wild, savage, irrevocable passion which can drive people mad with fury, hungering for blood and flesh, but at the same time being terrified by the ferocious cruelty that surrounds them. In a world full of strangers either War or Love can be the common thread, the guiding light for people to follow in their path towards one another. But Love can be as devastating as War – the only difference is that it doesn’t kill thousands at once but destroys us piece by piece, bit by bit, until we end up being completely empty.I have always been in love with ‘The English patient”, so naturally it is more than a story for me. I do not interpret it, I simply feel it, live through it, try to take the very best of it every time I read it.
I absolutely love this series! It mixes all of my favorite things (vampires, werewolves, demons and kick-ass chics!) and still makes me feel like I can sympathize with the characters. I can't wait for the next installment!
