A review by cableknitsweater
The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Good old fashioned vampire Hugh fantasy with a side of unhinged FMC that really worked for me.

If you enjoy fantasy plot lines about female characters growing up thinking they have to be the perfect weapon to be taken seriously, you will enjoy this book. Definite Jude vibes (FotA series).
