I have been
reading and watching vampire and Dracula related stuff since a long time, as
long as I remember. Vesela and Vervum World by Mostyn is a terrific novel and I
am bit diffident that whether I would be able to express all my praise and
gratitude to the novel. I read it on Kindle, it has over 300 pages, but since
the very first page I felt like I want to know more about the vampire types and
clans and so on. Well, this novel is about a war preparation. This is a
multi-themed, rather multi-dimensional book spanning across a few worlds like
of vampires, dark forces, dragons, and humans.
The story
features Vesela – she is a teenage girl who loves her goat very much. She lives
with her small family in some part of Europe. But the fact that she is
extremely special puts her into trouble when all forces from different worlds
try to take advantage of her.
Much since the
beginning of the novel, the tale of vampires begins. They seem like omnipresent
and never die or age kind of people. As I got into the story, I realized that
vampires have clans and castes, just like humans. However, they live in
different worlds such as Vervum, Arvum, and so on. They are divided amongst the
clans and have surnames like Radafu, Bruja, and so on. However, the superior
ones are Vervums, they have lords and warriors, etc. According to their
superiority and status, they have thinking powers and amazing teleportation.
It’s fun to read such blending of imagination and fantasy with a riveting
backdrop, spanning across continents and time duration.
The villains
of the story are Orders, and Dragons, and a few vampires who ally with others
to go against the vampire world. The least coverage is given to the human
world, from there only the girl Vesela looks of greater significance. All the
worlds are living peaceful. But secretly Orders plan to topple all the worlds
to rule with their supremacy. The Orders include, Order of Blood and Order of
Shadows. They conspire to kill and defeat all that go against them by not collaborating
with them. But on the other hand, vampires are happy at their worlds and at any
cost want to save their prestige and the world. For the same, they begin
training and waking up many sleeping clans. They travel and share their
experiences while preparing for the war. But the girl Vesela is important as
only she can act as an intermediate to carry out certain tasks at the neck of
three worlds. On one side vampires begin their work of convincing vampires and
others like Yetis to support them, on the other hand side, Orders try to ally
with some of the vampire clans and dragons and others to seek their patronage
in the war. The war is imminent. Well, this part is all about knowing the
vampires and others and preparing for the time that can endanger any one’s
life.
It’s a
beautifully written book by Mostyn, he already has bestsellers in the form of
cryptids and paranormal short stories. This vampire novel is first in the
series…more parts are about to get published quite soon. Anyway, it was a
great, though I took time to finish it…totally worth. There was so much
detailing about vampire and other dark creatures but I didn’t get bored even
for a moment. For vampire literature lovers, it’s the best book to be picked up
if you are done reading with Dracula and Twilight stuff.
