A review by karin_goodreads
King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair

dark mysterious tense

3.0

Honestly, I'm not even sure what I think of this book.. I've seen all of the mixed reviews and I'm very unsure of my opinion too.

There wasn't anything majorly wrong with this book per se, but it was all over the place sometimes. Basically just vampire erotica... I would've wanted more of the fantasy/vampiric aspects.

This book also made me realise that I might not like the trope where the woman's soul gets reborn and she now looks different, acts different, IS different, but she remembers the past life and suddenly she's like: "It's me, and you were actually in love with me, but it's not actually me!" The two characters just feel too far apart from each other. But then again, maybe they're meant to be apart, I have no idea.

I knew then who I truly was. Who I had always been. Yesenia of Aroth. I was Yesenia of Aroth—not now, not in this body, but I had been her in another life, in Adrian’s life.

I don't have much to say, I don't think I wasted my time by reading this, but I don't feel super excited to read the series. (update: I have completely forgotten this series and I won't be returning.)
