I'm not in love with the competition trope (Throne of Glass, Hunger Games, etc.)  but I am in love with this story.  While I was a touch exasperated with Oraya at times, I think that's because I've read a lot of characters like her before. At the end of the day, the romantic tension, competition tension, and the complex father-daughter relationship had me on the edge of my seat. I saw this recommended to ACOTAR fans, I don't know if I necessarily agree with the implication that they are similar in story structure. However, it is similar in addictiveness!

I really don‘t know how to explain my feelings towards this book 😭 
Somehow I loved every second of it and I wasn’t bored at all but otherwise something was just missing idk 😩 
This book had so much potential and like I said I loved it none the less but to me personally the story and characters felt pretty shallow like there could’ve been sooo much more input and so much more to the romance as well! It felt rushed sometimes 
Still I also really enjoyed the writing and the plot over all (can never go wrong with vampires excuse me???)

Also I might have shed a tear here and there🙃
