If the Hunger Games and Game of Thrones created a vampire-filled child, that would be The Serpent and the Wings of Night. Overall a really good read, multi-dimensional, flawed characters in a vast, danger-filled world. With minor amounts of smut (which I could do without tbh) the story keeps you guessing until the end. Points marked a bit down for the ending however, though I’ll have to check out the next book in the series to fully make my decision.
