bibliosaurier's review against another edition
5.0
This is exactly my kind of book. Adult high fantasy with a complex plot (including fantasy politics!!) and world building, loveable, well developed characters, and some queer (!) romance.
Then there are the topics of love and respect. Remy learning that he's worthy of love. One of my favourite tropes in media.
And I should probably mention that the vibes are immaculate as well. So is the magic/ science system (fantasy world building!)
I’m trying to hold back my rambles here, I meant to make this short, but oh well, here I am.
Mainly, what I’m trying to say is, if you like fantasy politics, and vampires, and fight scenes, and found family, and poly romance, and queer joy, give this book a chance! You won't regret it.

Contrary to other reviewsm I understood the worldbuilding pretty easily. Not sure why that's a problem for others, but its a cool world I enjoyed the book a lot!!
