this was an interesting tale about Vlad the third, i really enjoyed learning about the different history/customs/culture of eastern europe, turkey, and them in the cold war. i think the author is a capable story-teller but omg this book was so slow, the ending was so rushed, the narrative style was very confusing, the main motive at the end was random. glad i read it but wouldn't recommend unless someone likes learning
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Animal death, Death, Death of parent, Grief, Misogyny, Murder, Racial slurs, Sexism, Stalking, Suicide attempt, and Violence
