The timeframe of the books is about 1995 to 2015. Since this is a fantasy series we do n’t cognize where on Earth this is go oning. All the individuals and topographic points in the books are fictional.
The book “ Killers of the morning ” starts with Darren Shan, his lamia maestro Mr. Crepsley, the lamia prince Vancha March and a animal called “ Small individual ” running through the tunnels under a metropolis. They are running off from a host of Vampaneze seeking to kill them. They four are the chosen 1s to conflict against the ground forces of Vampaneze.

Point of position and chief characters
The point of position in this book is personal point of position. This means that we see the narrative through the eyes of the chief character, who is Darren Shan.
The chief characters in this narrative are Darren Shan, Mr. Crepsley and Vancha March.
Darren Shan was an ordinary homo before he was blooded by Mr. Crepsley in the first book. He is about 35 old ages, but looks like 15. That is because lamias can populate much longer than worlds. Darren is rather high, but weak in comparing with other lamias. He is really sedulous, easy influenced, sort and spleeny. Darren is besides one of the four Vampire princes. He was elected to be the prince because he saved the kin from a treasonist in the 4th and 5th book.
Mr. Crepsley is a lamia, a lamia maestro. Darren was his lamia helper in the first six books. He has the function as a composure, professional and wise lamia of the chosen four. The writer does n’t advert how old he or anything else of his earlier life. He acts like a new male parent to Darren after blooding him in first book.
Vancha March is the brainsick 1. He ‘s the Vampire Prince and he ‘s the prima member of the chosen four. Vancha is populating in harmoniousness with the nature and tries non to utilize any arms or any technological devices. We know really small about him since he appears merely in the five last books. But his visual aspect is so immense that he is designated as one of the chief characters.
My sentiment of the book:
I liked the book really much. The manner the writer is composing is highly go outing to read. It makes you read for hours without brake. I besides enjoyed the connexion between the composure scenes and the scenes with a batch of action. You really ne’er acquire board in the composure scenes and that ‘s really good, because I have experienced earlier some books with really long and deadening scenes. It is non excessively much action in the book either. The manner the writer describes the scene is besides really elaborate and good. The lone thing I hate with this book is the chief subject ; lamias and horror. Everything except the subject in this book is antic.
