 Now onto more positive stuff. The fluff part of the book is presented as a series of papers that are collected by an old vampire. I started calling him the ‘Collector’ while I was reading and, as it turns out, that's what the authors call him as well. He had gone missing at some point (not revealed where/why until the end) and it's clear that somebody (or multiple somebodies) are going thru the papers after the fact. I'm guessing there are at least three people. We know this because they add their own notes.\\ Now onto more positive stuff.

 I was gonna level a criticism here related to those notes...but then I realized that it actually //is// possible to figure out who it is. If you don't want it spoiled, I'll have those answers in the footnotes (spoilered). It just required some thinking on my part.\\ I was gonna level a criticism here related to those notes...but then I realized that it actually //is// possible to figure out who it is.

 But, basically, it's a series of papers with notes. Not all written by the same in-universe author, but all broadly related to the Daeva: their history, culture, some adventures, etc. But, basically, it's a series of papers with notes.

-I also forgot to mention that the Collector (and <wrap spoiler>probably Ayesha</wrap>) is occasionally commenting on Kevin. He shows his empathy by feeling a little bad for him (if I remember correctly?) and by calling him a lucky boy. The green sticky notes are also disappointed in Madael.+I also forgot to mention that the Collector (and <mark spoiler>probably Ayesha</mark>) is occasionally commenting on Kevin.

 The next part is a ‘mixtape’. More accurately, it's a transcript of some monologues recorded onto a tape by a sire for his new childe. He recorded them because he ditched her.\\ The next part is a ‘mixtape’. More accurately, it's a transcript of some monologues recorded onto a tape by a sire for his new childe.
