But IMO, it isn't Blade's mistake there that ultimately brought things down on their heads, it was Whistler leading the FBI right to their little hideaway because he was so careless for no good reason.Īnd then there is Whistler's other armful of secrets - the Nightstalkers. Whistler grinding Blade's gears over killing the human bait in the early chapters is fine. I know that they have to buy supplies somehow, and Blade himself isn't exactly ideal for that(though apparently he fences the goods collected from vampire kills or some such), but it still rubs me the wrong way. It makes no sense to me that such a gritty, hard-as-nails man, who has preached caution so hard at Blade previously and who has lived through a hell of a lot of bad things, would be so foolish as to walk around with a casual scroll down to the seven eleven regularly. I think Whistler's hobby of taking a nice little scroll introduced here is plot-induced-stupidity. I found it a bit odd that he took on different identities in the ancient past, but not something that I could complain about. And he was everything a true vampire should have been, and then some, right down to his monstrous true form underneath the human guise. It was neat to see the vampires turn so desperate to work around Blade that they dug up Dracula. I found Drake's thoughts and his reminiscence fairly good. I will say that the author captured a lot more mood and atmosphere than I feel the film conveyed. Regarding the story itself, again having seen the film some few years ago before I picked up the book, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect in most scenes. There were also quite a few small errors in formatting, occasionally grammar, yet at least there were no spelling mistakes(that I can recall). That bothered me from the beginning to the end.
