Books!

Okay, I said I'd give some reviews of a few books every once in awhile, right? ( Remember, I don't guarantee you'll like the books I decide to review. =) )
Well here's one I finished reading( I read books really fast, so I probably will be posting a lot about books, if I remember to. ^^' ) :

The Priest of Blood by Douglas Clegg:

This is the first of three books in the Vampyricon series. It looked and sounded really interesting, so I decided to try it out. I have to be honest and say that I found the beginning incredibly boring. It just takes a little bit of time to get into it, I suppose; at least it did for me, and I love vampires/fantasy books. But once I got going, it was really interesting. I got through it before I realized it, which tends to happen a lot to me...
Anyway, this book is about a young man, named Aleric, (the Falconer), and his journey from being a poor boy, to a falconer at in the Baron's household; he story also speaks of his unrequited love for the Baron's daughter. When his love is found out, he is forcibly conscripted as a soldier and sent to the Holy Land to fight; unfortunately, he has lost all faith and conscience. He cares not for his life any longer.
Soon, he finds a new love. "She calls herself Pythia -- and in her passionate, bloody embrace, he also finds his destiny..."
I found it a truly good book, even if you had to try to keep yourself interested in some parts. You can find it in most libraries, if you'd like to take a look.
