I did like the action scenes and felt they had nice pacing and were detailed enough to be understood but not too detailed that they dragged on.
This is compared to The Hunger Games (and I understand why) but I would probably compare it more to The Cruel Prince and the later books of ACOTAR. The plot points were almost exactly like The Cruel Prince but with less developed enemies to lovers. I don't think the political strife or intrigue is enough to accurately compare it to The Hunger Games.

This had me reading under the covers into the early hours of the morning like a kid again. I was highly invested in Oraya's story. The dark and mysterious vampire world, the deadly tournament and the slow burn romance was to die for. I'm thrilled I gave this one a chance and cannot wait to read the next one.
Recommend for fans of:
- Serpent and Dove
- Slow-burn Romance
- The Shadows Between Us
- The Cruel Prince
Content Notes:
- Strong Language
- Sexual Content: 🌶🌶🌶
- Violence: murder, blood, gore, Torture (off-page)
- References or flashbacks to self-harm, abuse, sexual abuse
