dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

I found this to be interesting and an engaging, intriguing story. I am glad I made my way through it.

But I do need to say that having the protagonist being called a “child” the entire time and looking like she was 10 years old is unsettling, even knowing she is an over half century old vampire. Vampire adults completely acknowledged their attraction to her and only being able to not act yet since she is still a child!

Left me wanting to know more about the world and the characters, although I preferred the first half to the second half
