This is the first fantasy book I've read since I was very young, and I liked it. A good mix of action/adventure and romance. I appreciated that the world and characters weren't overly complex and easy to follow, while still being fun and intriguing. I'll be reading the sequels.

Wow… just wow. I have never been more in love with a book. The writing style, the story, the characters. Mind blown. I will now proceed to read every book written by the author. I am in LOVE!!! 

The story line is a dark fantasy romance so expect enemies to lovers, slow burn, betrayal, blood, grief.

Overall: 15 stars out of 5!
Spice: 2/5

low spice throughout but one very well written hot 🥵 chapter!!

If dark fantasy romances are your thing, this book is the best one I’ve read so far! Give it a try.

This book was pretty fun. I enjoyed reading it, but I wasn't itching to pick it up when I wasn't reading it. I thought the ending was... wild and not what I was expecting. I am curious about the second book but I don't know if I will like it.

I heard that if you like ACOTAR then you will like The Serpent and the Wings of Night. I can confirm! I was skeptical coming into this book but this turned out to be such an amazing read. I thought I knew how it would end but I was so surprised and delighted by the twists and turns. I can’t wait to read the next one.
