I'm about half way through it now, and I really like it!
I'd heard the author speak at a local writer's festival, and had wanted to read this book for a while, but didn't get around to it 'till now...
(If this has anything to do with it, the author seemed like a cool person.)
I didn't know anything about Vlad Dracula prior to reading this, but what I'm getting is that it's a very different and more historically correct depiction of him than in a lot of other things. The author really likes history and so a lot of research seems to have gone into the book.
(A minor point, but I think another thing that helps is that the author does fencing and so... perhaps more realistic fight scenes?)
I'd recomend it. For sure!

Thanks and also you might want to try
The Historian. It's still about Vlad Dracula and in the same historical light as The Last Confession.
