The Rise of the Hotel Dumort

Ohhhhhh.....

maybe 2.5, this was my least favourite of the stories so far...

YES YES YES ALL THE YES. DRUGGY VAMPIRES. WEREWOLVES. MAGNUS. There really isn’t much more to say about this one. It was really good. This is what I needed. I feel as if they could have wrote a whole series on the idea of this.

Something about the title of this hotel is familiar… HMMMMM… I have always wondered about this hotel and the history about it and how it came to be. This one isn’t really told as well as I would like it, but it is a good historical story. I love learning more about Magnus’ past though. It explains a lot more of his personality and why he does the things that he does. He is probably the best character that Clare has wrote honestly.

Questa mi è piaciuta leggermente di meno rispetto alle altre, anche se è molto interessante vedere come i vampiri si siano appropriati dell'hotel Dumort ;).

Tra le tre novelle relative all'Hotel Dumort che ho letto, questa è quella che mi è piaciuta meno. L'azione c'è, ma per come si è conclusa l'ho trovata un pò deludente rispetto alle altre...
