I would root for time travel being used as a means to wipe out vampirism. They have always been portrayed as evil. It would be interesting to see how this story unfolds.

That said, in my opinion, the dialogue often came across as unnecessarily stiff. I think because much of the dialogue was said rather than shown. (I.e., he said/she said, rather than describing an action that accompanied the words.) I think this was due simply to the inexperience of the writer, though, rather than any innate lack of writing ability. The creativity of the plot line made up for this, though. As an author, Christopher Penington has a lot of potential and so does The Hand Bringer. I wanted to keep reading.
