Okay, this one is a little worse....still aged like a beautiful bottle of milk that sits behind Grandma's fridge, but the teenager characters feel a little more accurate. Some of the writing in this book kinda reminds me of the viral Harry Potter fanfiction, My Immortal.
Though, not mentioned in the last book, I actually find this series' version of Vampires to be kind of cool. I haven't read enough vampire literature to know if its particularly creative, but I do enjoy the Indigenous and Spiritual motifs woven within as well as the consequences of turning into a vampire. The moon tribal tattoo stuff is also very much a nice visual.
Plot twist at the end was very predictable to me and the stakes weren't that insane to me, but I also had hindsight that there are like thirty million of these books (there's like twelve?)
