I really enjoyed this book almost as much as Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Seth Grahame Green tells a dark but slightly humorous tale of the three wise men from biblical times. The story focuses around Balthazar, one of the "wise men". It then shifts to the constant conflict between him and King Herod. I felt the book really started to take off after the "wise men" run into Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in Bethlahem. This is not the biblical story with angels, singing and bright lights. This is a darker tale with violence and grit.
