These characters are annoying me, I don't care about this mysterious magical manifesto...I'm giving up. I'm disappointed because in theory this book has some great elements, but the way it's written is just not doing the concepts any favors. Why do authors insist on using first person perspective for the most DULL narrators?? Ugh. I'm also very tired of brooding, self-hating vampires (have some balls and rip some throats out!!! stop hunting deer goddamnit!!!) and woe-is-me witches (you have magical powers–use them!!! what the hell do you have to complain about!?!). Also these two main characters have zero chemistry it's almost hilarious. Except...actually it's just sad.
