I love me a good steamy vampire romance. HOWEVER: 1. if you are gonna write high fantasy, dont use phrases and concepts that literally never would happen in a pre-industrialization world. Like why tf are you making a "fast food" joke? 2. THERE 👏 IS 👏 NO 👏 NEED 👏 FOR 👏 GRAPHIC 👏 DESCRIPTIONS 👏 OF 👏 VIOLENCE 👏 AGAINST 👏 WOMEN 👏 IN 👏 A 👏 FANTASY 👏 BOOK. Honestly, there are very few situations that this type of violence should be used in any fiction book.

TBH if I wasn't such a sucker for this series it would be rated lower.

Full of uncomfortable, stressful dark moments, yet with a very satisfying and hopeful conclusion/ending. Worth sticking through reading 100%

My god this book was nothing but pain. We didn’t get any plot until 70% in, and then almost none after. I guessed every “twist” way before it happened because this woman’s idea of foreshadowing is to beat you over the head with “hints”. Our main characters spent almost the entire book apart, and then when they got together all they did was fuck and talk about things we already know. This book made me want to tear my hair out from sheer boredom and frustration.
