Really great performances of an amazing story

This was a really fantastic listen. The narrators did a wonderful job and I liked how there were varying accents amongst the characters. Like sometimes Abraham sounded American and sometimes sounded German, same for Ludwig. The primary antagonist in this was a massive antisemite which was a little difficult for me to digest but it made for an intensely dislikable antagonist. I loved all of the different ways Judaism was incorporated into this and I feel like it was really informative about a lot of things. There’s some extremely upsetting things that happen in this so I would look out for triggers. I really loved Abraham and Ludwig a lot and the fact that they had such a long lasting friendship was really beautiful. I wasn’t a huge fan of Destiny, she honestly annoyed me more often than not but it was nice to see how devoted Abraham was to his wife even though a majority of the problems later on in the book could’ve been avoided if it weren’t for her. I really enjoyed listening to this a lot and it made me feel a whole spectrum of emotions.

Enjoyable

I couldn’t resist this book since it involved vampires and characters that lived across centuries. I enjoyed how the book would flash back and forth between past and present time and how the same event would be filtered through different characters’ eyes. What I did not enjoy was the constant political correctness of the protagonists. It made the characters more 2D than real. But overall I enjoyed it.
