I liked how well thought out the plot, the characterization, and even their growing romance seemed to be. The god of nature is cruel and fickle but not evil. The vampire-since-birth is ignorant of humanity’s most innate knowledge: the briefness of life, desperation of dying, the inevitability of death. The humans are stiff-necked and narrow in their views and stubborn in their refusal to risk their short lives to better the world. Love is presented in its many forms as the one thing worth living and dying for.
It was poetic in ways and lighthearted in ways. Well worth a read.
Moderate: Terminal illness

This took a different tone from the Serpent and the Wings of Night, I liked the more cozy feeling to this.
The main character was curious and full of determination, which I liked. I felt like I didn't know these characters well enough yet to really connect to them and their story, the length of the book makes that difficult.

The MCs of this story are more likable than the MCs of the main storyline, but they are also less complex. The FMC is well developed because it is her view we're seeing it all unfold through, but the MMC is underdeveloped in my opinion.
Overall a nice read that I easily finished up in half a day.

I loved the blossoming love between Vale and Lilith and all the little ways he understood her when everyone else did not. Watching their relationship grow was truly something else. I loved these two so much 🖤
It had a satisfying, heart warming ending with a bittersweet tinge. Can’t wait to read more about these two.
The only reason this is not a full 5 star read is the lack of world building, I had a hard time visualizing where this all took place. But the characters and story were great!
Vale: I like her, I like that autistic woman
