Lovedddd this book! So glad I went back to read it after DNF-ing last year. I related a lot to Oraya in a lot of different ways and thought that she was so strong. And I loved Raihn

he’s gonna have to work hardddd to get back in my good graces though.

This was such an refreshing read! A badass female human character,

having little left of her humanity

and a smug, but charming male love interest,

the foil of the protagonist; having much left of his humanity

. 

I would recommend this one because it's like one entire anime tournament arc. I found some parts of the "challenges" somewhat rushly written. The book has morally gray characters

Her father Vincent

which I found interesting and betrayed my expectations. Like most authors

they leave an insane twist for the end, which makes me excited to read the second book.

Please note that a close female friend is introduced and die quickly to advance the plot in the beginning. I feel this was done better than in some other books though, as she was her connection to her human side, eg wanting to wear colorful impractical clothing. Sadly she is somewhat forgotten for the later part of the book.
