From the start, Death Shall Bow immerses you into a whole other world. I went into this blind knowing it had some “vampy vibes” and it didn’t disappoint. If you loved ACOTAR but you wanted it to be DARKER (and minus Tamlin) this is your book.
The world building is immaculate, I felt like I was in Anathema while I was reading. There are three other realms to learn about as you meet the characters. And the characters…I fell in love with another cast of characters. I was crying, screaming…and blushing because when the spice hits it hits! Just know, this is a bit of a slow burn. It’s worth it!
Kim, Kimber or Kimberly… whichever name you call her by, just know she is fierce! She is a ride or die for her family, friends and kingdom. I love a strong FMC.
Kim is in a star crossed relationship with June and to ascend to the throne she must marry Lyvias in an arrangement her father, Death has sorted out for her. This is where the plot twists begin!
I don’t want to give much away in my review and spoil it for you. If you’re looking for sapphic romance, with vampy vibes, that has star crossed lovers, arranged marriages, collusion to destroy kingdoms, and a bad ass FMC…Death Shall Bow will tick those boxes.

When the author becomes problematic I don’t care how good the story is…I’ll pass thanks
