sweet with a bitter bite

A short but good read! 

General 4/5
The book itself is very fast paced, the chapters are short and easy to read. The entire plot happens in a span of 4-6 months. Sometimes it felt a bit rushed, given there could have been more information on certain things, but that would've make the book definitely longer.

Characters 3.5/5
While I think, that there could've been a bit more flaws to the characters itself, there was not much room for much character development since its a short story to read. The two main characters had their flaws and that was enough, given the pacing of the book.

Storyline 4/5
The storyline was very straight forward. It was clear from the beginning, what Lilith wanted to do and what she knew, she had to do to get to her goal.

Worldbuilding 3.5/5
I absolutely loved the world, we were thrown in and I wish there would've been more. The main information was explained, yet, not as detailed as other worlds.

Despite all the things smaller things I critized, it is still a 4/5 for me. Because I simply enjoyed reading the book, I enjoyed the world they were in and also the story itself.
The only thing that was a bit iffy
Spoilerwas the only spicy scene in the book. It happened right after Vale got attacked and was deadly wounded and left me with a what the... moment.

But it got me hooked about the entire world and I'm about to start the next book with excitment about what roles Lilith and Vale will have.
SpoilerThey are suppose to appear in the second book so I'm very much excited!!
