Silver Under Nightfall took me almost an entire month to read, however, this is one if my favourite books I've read this year! I honestly can't tell you why it took me so long but I can tell you I loved every single second. I did predict some of the big plot twists but that didn't take away any of my enjoyment at all. I absolutely just adored this book, I love Rin's writing so so much. I loved the humour, the plot and the characters it made for a fun and also hardhitting ride and I cannot wait for the second book!
I loved Remy as a main character so much! I wanted to absolutely root for him from page one, I felt so much sympathy and love for him throughout the book. You can tell he truly just wants to do what us right by everyone no matter what they do to him, or how they push him down he still wants to defend and make sure everyone gets out alive. He has such a big, kind heart and I love him so much. I love the fact he can also be super badass and the relationship between him and Zidan and Xiaodan I loved it I really did.
For me, it's really hard to pick a favourite character. At one point all three of them have been my favourite character but I'll go with Xiaodan. I love Xiaodan so, so much, she's so sweet and again so badass. I love the way you can see how much she truly loves Remy and Zidan. She really cares about her people, about the humans and everything she's been through with her mother and oh my god I just love her so so much. Also her ability is so cool I loved her from her first chapter all the way until the end she's special.
Of course, as hinted at, I also really loved Zidan. I had a slower burn when it came to warming up to him but again as with the other two, I fell hard. I love that he's of course so much more reserved but you can tell again how much he truly cares about both Remy and Xiaodan even though he shows it in different ways. Again, he's been through so much and I just want him to he happy by the end.
I think the author has built a really interesting world. I really liked the setting and also loved the politics of the Vampire courts!!! I really loved that only vampires who are old enough or important enough turn to ash I thought that was really cool, I thought the way Zidan's experiments work were really cool and the idea of the rot and how it was explored and how it kinda felt like an analogy for human life.
I really enjoyed the plot. I thought it was fast paced and liked that I was always learning something new. I'd like to dive more into the Vampire politics because I think some people were here just to read about the relationship but I care about all the politics and plot as well so I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop in book two!!! One thing, I really loved in this book was the way Xiaodan and Zidan treated Remy when it came the sex, how they knew he'd been so used for sex by other people so they wanted to make sure it never felt like that to them, God I love the three of them so much
Overall, I just adored thus book so so much!! An easy five for me and just inject everything Rin has ever written into my veins.
