The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

5.0

 

I was very surprised by how much I adored this book.

The Serpent & The Wings of Night sucked me in immediately and never let me go. This book is over 500 pages, and at no point could I allow myself to put it down for even a second!

One of the very first things I enjoyed about The Serpent & The Wings of Night was the worldbuilding. In this world, there are three “houses” of vampires, all with unique magic types and physical features. While some vampires may have feathered wings, others may have membranous wings (neither of which are typical for vampires in other media, so you know this book is gonna have some unique lore).

I also really loved the plot of this book! Our main character, Oraya, needs to compete in a tournament called the Kejari in order to ask the goddess to bind her father’s powers to her so she can become strong enough to travel outside of her home. In order to survive this deadly tournament, she needs to work together with her father’s enemy, but that soon has Oraya questioning everything she knows about the world she thought she understood.

If I could rate books higher than 5 stars, this would be a 10 star book! I was immediately obsessed with The Serpent & The Wings of Night, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the sequel to continue on with this series!
