But all that happened between a battle of two 'Master vampires', one of whom was a courtier for 90% of the fight, was a few holes in the wall, a broken crock pot, and two or three cracked wood beams leaving the house they were battling in, still standing. I thought they would've leveled at least two buildings at minimum, or a whole street.

Mentally It just doesn't add up or live up to the hype. But now we just had a battle of two Masters inside of a wooden house, and the only thing damaged was a few planks of wood. But no matter.when it comes to the human world, she can take on three or four dozen armed men at a time and prevail. She is a Nuwari, and is supposedly stronger than four or five courtiers after she learned how make her inner realm 'submit' and feed her their strength/power. But what does that 'really' mean? What does title mean when it comes to how effective/destructive/dangerous of a foe they could be? How many men would a human army need to take on a Master or Lord at night? What would that battle mean to the AOE surrounding? What would happen if two Masters or Lords were to battle? In the last book and in this one, we saw Arianne as a courtier do battle. There is Fledgling, Coutier, Master, then Lord. >Power Scales: I know the title of the scales of power.

That there was more to explore here, before the author suddenly moved off topic. It was good, but had its moments when you felt there should've been more meat on the bone concerning this topic/issue/discussion. The only book I ever pre-ordered on audible.
