The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
4.5
Man, I'm seriously tempted to slap a fat 5-star rating on this one! I gotta say, I freaking loved this book. The world building, man, it had me hooked. And don't even get me started on that complicated father-daughter relationship and all the crazy trials all of the contestants had to go through.
Let me tell you, Vincent was hands down my favourite! Right from the start, you could tell the king had a major soft spot for Oraya. The book straight up calls her his "greatest love." And damn, I was totally glued to the pages, soaking in every moment with Vincent. The way the vampire father and human daughter had their interactions? So freaking intriguing and gut-wrenching.
Now, here's the thing. I can't quite give it a full 5 stars, and you wanna know why? Oraya just didn't seem pissed off enough by the end. I mean, come on, I was practically fuming! It would've felt more real if she had some serious hatred and anguish going on. But hey, maybe that's just 'cause I'm head over heels for Vincent, haha!
