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 book was awesome. Like TRULY awesome. I recommend it to EVERYONE who loves romantasy (just as much as me).
This is one of these few books you read, that seem like they change the way you see the world.

The first book of the “Crowns of Nyaxia” series and it was a CRAWL. Stocked full of world building and learning of their gods and cities. Oraya, a human, is taken as a child to live with the Vampire king, Vincent.
The main story line of the book is Oraya competing in a competition to honor Nyaxia, the night goddess and ruler of vampires. Only, she is the only human amongst Shadowborn, Nightborn, and Bloodborn vampires…with wings. Sprinkled amongst this is bits of Oraya’s backstory.
And then we meet Raihn and the winged man kink is satiated. Snarky, dark humored, and…a Turned vampire. This means he was once human but was changed. This means he has held on to his human heart.
If you are a fan of the slowest of burns and enemies to lovers (spoiler…to enemies again) you will be hooked.
I heard so many good reviews to I kept pushing and also…i love me a book with a competition.

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
