There isn't a whole lot going on in this novel since the main focus is finding Mircea and figuring out who captured him.
I'm sad to see it end, but thought it wrapped things up nicely. Into The Fire is a great conclusion to a series I couldn't get enough of. Their leads are all seeming like dead ends and left me a bit worried for our leading lady. Vlad and Leila have to figure out where Mircea is being held before it costs them her life. He'll do anything in order to protect the ones he loves and they're counting on that.
It's all fun and games until someone takes Mircea prisoner in order to play on Vlad's one weakness, his wife Leila. We see Mircea toying with Leila by cutting himself and linking to her so they can have chats. The spell is quite powerful even though it backfired and now anytime Leila or Mircea is injured it happens to the other. We start off with Leila and Vlad hunting down Mircea, a necromancer that linked himself to Leila with a spell in the previous book. I thought it wrapped up everything well and can't recommend this series enough. The previous book had a lot of big things going on and left a few things to be tied up in this novel. This series is a spin off from the Night Huntress books and the lead characters are Vlad (don't ever call him Dracula) and Leila. This is the last book in the series and I couldn't wait to see how it wrapped up. Into the Fire is book four in the Night Prince series. A hero can't kill off people who don't seem to deserve it. Except that scene with the imploding party, which made me dislike everybody. I deleted it permanently and I'm done with Ms. The last book in this series was not satisfactory either, human people becoming less than, but this was the worst. Stop amping up the violence, and sex, and "special effects"! A good story always is about the people. It's like one of those action movies with lots of special effects, but no suspense because you don't care what happens to the characters. Maybe vampires do lose their souls? No growth takes place in characters or relationships, instead they shrink. I'd feel sorry for Leila, except she's turned into a non-person who hardly has any feelings, too. Instead, I find him very shallow and unappealing, and evil, and uninteresting. So basically, I'm supposed to be impressed with his willingness to murder everyone for Leila. Then Vlad kills all these people he doesn't know with no remorse. First of all, they go to all theses trippy places for no good reason. Basically a set-up for other books to come, but I don't care enough to read about them either. A rush-job that turns interesting characters that I cared about into flat, unlikeable people.
