Explanation Supposing Books Brothers to the Death (The Saga of Larten Crepsley #4)
An amazing ending to an amazing series. 'Brothers to the Death' was absolutely fantastic. So full of twists, surprises, excitement, heartbreak, romance, everything you need to make a book perfect. I've loved Larten Crepsley since 'Cirque Du Freak' but this series has made me love him even more, if that was even possible. He's one of my favourite fictional characters ever. I would gladly defend him to the death. He's such a unique character. You'll never ever read a book about a character like Larten Crepsley. There is no one like him. That's one of the things I love about him. I also think he's brave, strong-willed and extremely caring, even if he doesn't usually show it in a very affectionate way. I love his relationship with Gavner Purl. At first, it upset me a bit because Larten wouldn't act towards him in a fatherly manner but when Gavner became his assistant, I felt their relationship grow, even without open affection from Larten still. I also loved both his relationships with Alicia and Arra. Two completely different women but who I love equally. Alicia is such a sweet character, so romantic and caring and loving. And then Arra is tough, brave, strong, everything a vampire is. She still loves Larten though, even if it's not as romantic or strong a relationship as Larten and Alicia's was. I could probably talk for the world about this book but I won't. It really was perfect though. The nineteenth chapter had me in floods of tears. I won't say why. You'll have to read it to find out! ;D But really, it's so upsetting. I also started crying again at the very end. I just felt so emotional. Knowing there'll be no more books about Larten Crepsley, just kills me. I just love him so much. It's sad to see him go. It's a very tough goodbye. But he'll live on in my heart. He has a special place there. All I need to do is re-read The Saga of Darren Shan and The Saga of Larten Crepsley many times in the future. He will never be forgotten. I seriously recommend this book and ALL of Darren Shan's books to everyone, people of all ages. I can guarantee that even when I'm an adult, I'll still love these books as much as I do now. Darren Shan is a perfect writer. He's my inspiration. I love him so much. It's because of him that I want to be a writer. I rated this book five stars because it deserves it and I loved it so much. Go read it! <3

An ending I did not see coming! Loved it!wow this was ... I'm speechless! Finally, that's what I was talking about.So why wasn't I surprised when I found out about Wester? Because I KNEW this would happen! I KNEW Darren Shan wouldn't let me down ... not with this one, not with dear Mr Crepsly!Just Awesome!
~Spoilers~One of the first times I was right about an upcoming plot twist and wished I wasn't... I read the last few chapters (from the point Larten confronted Wester) in the train and couldn't contain my emotions, so at least some people found joy in my heartbreak. Even though the (almost) ending of the book got me to embarrass myself in front of a bunch of strangers, I still really enjoyed the story. I loved reading about my favorite characters again, getting to know them a little better by
So we have come full circle now. I'm very tempted to pick up Cirque Du Freak and complete onwards. "Brothers to the Death" finsihes off Mr. Crepsley's back story and leads us nicely in to "The Saga of Darren Shan". I will say, I'm tempted to go and reread the cirque du freak series now! It was enjoyable and filled in a good chuck of blanks such as; why did Crepsley stop being a General and joinned up with the Cirque? Where did Madam Octa come from? Why is Vanche's hair green? And many more. You
* Earlier books in the serie: Birth of a Killer (#1), Ocean of Blood (#2), and Palace of the Damned (#3) - this review may contain spoilers for some of those * Just when Larten is finally ready to make his way back to Vampire Mountain and his vampire kin, he's pulled into a very human conflict. The Nazis are coming to power and while the vampires have made it their way not to interfere with human struggles, the Nazis have made their own efforts to pull the vampire in, though, so they can't
Compared to the previous three books in the series, this one was the least favorite of mine. I still liked it, but not as much. Something about it feels rushed. I have the sense that the book is unfinished, and no I'm not talking about the fact that it continues in Cirque Du Freak. Some things in between chapters feel like they are missing a huge chunk of the story like they were purposefully skipped in order to wrap it all up sooner.
Larten has finally found his place in society-being friends with and looking after Alicia and helping to save humans and vampires from the Nazis during WW2. However tragedy, betrayal and Desmond Tiny are lurking to push Larten into starting the war against the Vampaneze.I really enjoyed this book as it used the backdrop of WW2, which I have studied myself in great detail. I enjoyed seeing how both vampire clans actually have standards and believe the Nazis to be the true monsters. With the
