medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2nd Read:
I think this book is going to have to stay at a 4 star - I really enjoyed it and it was a lot of fun, but it just isn't one of the best books of the series!

This book was slower-paced than the previous books in the series because there was development of a new plot line with the Bishop. This character was one that a reader loved to hate. He was complex, involving, and evil enough that the reader wants him to stick around for a while. I thought the ball was an interesting addition. It was high tension in a more political way, and it was pretty twisted, which I always enjoy.

I love the characters Myrnin & evil Yasandre the story has upped it's tempo & this book is a lot better than the previous in depth & storytelling. I am looking forward now to reading book 5 Lord of Misrule (Morganville Vampires). It's getting better....

I LOVE THIS SERIES I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT! The characters are all awesome and I probably got too invested in their fictional lives. Started this series a while ago and am now rereading it so I can catch up. It's worth it.

Try as I might this series is just not for me. I can't work out why it flopped quite so hard. Personally I'm putting it down to the world and character building leaving a lot to be desired for me. It's a shame as the premise is pretty solid.
The tension between Claire and Shane has gotten to a point where it has become more than annoying.
And even more frustrating than that Shane continues to make irrational decisions with no apparent forethought.
Yet again the world building is inconsistent! What happened to *spoiler from previous book ahead* Michael becoming a vampire meaning that humans not vampires have to ask for permission to enter?
All in all I can see the merits to this book but perhaps only if you go it without a critical head on and perhaps for a little younger audience.

One of my favorite glass house books because reading it you're like ...crap. Everything just got serious. It also features a lot of Myrnin so that makes me an instant fan. You really get to see what he's like and how he ticks. You get into a lot of the vampire politics and how they differ from human politics. You even get a little bit of insight into Amelie. Again it's a re-read for me but I enjoyed it just as much the second time around.

"Will you swear?" And Myrnin said, shockingly "I will." And he proceeded to, a string of swear words that made Claire blink. He ended with, '-frothy fool-born apple-john! Cheater of vandals and defiler of dead dogs!" and did another twirl and a bow.
Well Feast of Fools, definitely isn't a filler book. Although slow in the middle, it was probably the best one yet! Do these just keep getting better? Hmm...interesting.
I loved every minute of this one. I think it's safe to say I love Myrnin more now, and I know my love for him is going to keep growing. He's so incredibly scary, but fascinating, I think he's one of the most intriguing characters in this series so far.
Rachel Caine just keeps it coming. It's all constant, doesn't lack action; and is just incredible. Rachel Caine, manages to keep the back story up at the start of the book if people decide to just join in in the middle (not that you would), or if you need a refresher of after an MV break. So it doesn't lack information. She manages to make twists and turns through out, shocks, and cries. Swoons, and loves. Feast of Fools has it all, even a mega cliffhanger!
As I said at the beginning, this book isn't a filler. It's a continuance of an epically good vampire series, and one I've needed to read for a while now. I'm so glad that I am. I just want more and more.
All my favourite characters return, and some of the non so favourite characters, but that's what makes the story great. The one big thing I loved about this book was the way every Morganville vampire came together in their time of need to try and overthrow Master Bishop (unsuccessfully I might add). Vampire nemesis like Amelie and Oliver come together for the sake of the town, and I love the strength that Caine showed us in this book. Bringing everyone together for the sake of the town and it's residents.
Anyway, this book was great. That cliffy at the end was a killer! But, luckily for me, I had Lord of Misrule right at my side and ready to begin. And I've begun and I can't wait to get more, and more, and more! Because there are, more, and more!
Amazeballs!
