I loved how romantic this story was. Almost like a classic fairy tale. I on a kick lately with reading female characters who are older, who have to solve a larger problem using whatever traits they can. Lilith is no exception. She has a terminal illness, but the rest of the town is also afflicted. She is a scientist, fascinated by asking questions and learning how things work. Naturally, she is drawn to Vale the Vampire.

I wish I had read this in between "The Serpent and the Wings of Night" and "The Ashes and the Star Cursed King", because I would have appreciated Lilith's character a lot more!
