This book is the fourth in Darren Shan's vampire saga (see the post about the first one for how I'm treating posts for this series).
In this instalment, Darren and his master Mr Crepsley are called to the administrative capital of the vampire world - the eponymous mountain. Their journey is long and hard, but softened by the presence of the supremely likeable Gavner Purl. Once at the mountain we are introduced to a whole host of other cool characters, like the smooth sharp Kurda Smahlt, the quartermaster Seba Nile, and more. We are also treated to several insights about the nature of the evil Mr Tiny and his blue-robed servants, but for spoiler reasons I will save all reflections about any series-spanning themes/elements to the final post.
