Trilogy
This one just left me wanting it to end. Yes it helps put some things in perspective but, it really is a let down. The reason I gave it a 7 is the CGI and funny acting of Ben Kingsly

A good (mostly) standalone book following loosely from the events in the First Law trilogy. Some familiar faces appear, though some only briefly. A gang of mercenaries are recruited to disrupt relations and generally pee-off those who have wronged Murcatto.

Post-apocalyptic conclusion to the trilogy, where vampires now rule, the nuclear cloud allowing them to move around in the daytime. An interesting take as small groups of humans then start to rebel against their overlords and refuse to be farmed.

"It’s just quality at its best. Fantastic writing, an amazing caliber of acting; just beautiful, everything about it. The details of the clothes, the sets — just a masterpiece. Again, I can watch any of the trilogy time and time again. "
