This becomes an even bigger problem when the necromancers discover they can use this tie to control Vlad. So Mencheres brings in someone he believes can help them: Ian.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some things I can\u2019t help,\u201d Ian finally said. \u201cThey\u2019re as much a part of me as your fire is to you, Tepesh.\u201d <\/p>\n

Vlad gave an oblique shrug. \u201cI can understand that. But swear to change what you do have control over, and swear it on your love for Mencheres.\u201d <\/p>\n

Ian made a wistful noise. \u201cI was so hoping you\u2019d tell me to swear it on my honor.\u201d <\/p>\n

Vlad let out a bark of laughter. \u201cNot in this lifetime.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wasn\u2019t surprised when Ian appeared in our suite moments later. \u201cHallo,\u201d he said in a purr, looking Gretchen up and down in a way that raised my hackles. \u201cWhat\u2019s your name, sweeting?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHer name is No,\u201d I said at once.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was initially annoyed by Ian, but he did develop past his single note into someone more complex, and on top of that, he proved utterly loyal to Mencheres (which was also the opening for the next series, but I digress).<\/p>\n

I was oddly pleased with the resolution of this book. Vlad had a lot of maturation to do (in that he had to grow beyond being a cold, murdering, maniac) and not only did he have to work for it, but it was made clear this was an ongoing work (which, of course, it would be).<\/p>\n

I don’t think I’m in the mood for any more Jeaniene Frost any time soon, because I am just not in the mood for all the boinking, but I think I’ll eventually read the Ian series. Mostly because Ian is pretty fascinating.
