This high fantasy, gothic vampire romance checked all the usual boxes, but the central polyamorous relationship was everything to me! I loved following Remy as he worked through complicated feelings for BOTH Xiaodan and Zidan, coming to terms with being attracted to a man for the first time, gradually overcoming his internalized shame and guilt to ultimately receive love, care, and pleasure. The scene in the forest, I meannnnn?? Five stars just for the sex, honestly. There’s not nearly enough good queer polyam fantasy and I loved slutty poly baby Remy so much. The MFM polycule is really well done, not sensationalized or hetero-centric as is too often the case. Each of their dynamics was really thoughtfully developed and communication was good. Xiaodan is so patient and nurturing 😭 meanwhile stoic Zidan secretly cares just as much ❤️‍🔥. Lots of action scenes too which typically is not for me but the pace was good and I really enjoyed it!

A few parts I got one of confused, but overall very enjoyable. Whole thing reads like a movie, there’s a montage scene that I could visualize so nice as a movie montage, very fun!

This took me a little while to read this book.

I think the writing and the plot is great. I liked the small bits of romance sprinkled in and the more action packed scenes. But it just didn't keep me interested between those action scenes and the romance parts. But I knew going in this might not be entirely for me. Fantasy isn't a genre I usually read and I usually like for more romance to be included when I do read fantasy. 

I would absolutely still recommend this to the fantasy readers out there. It just wasn't for me personally.

Ok so I really enjoyed parts of this. The problem is the main character kills me. He's so determined to have everyone dislike him and to take the blame for everything. It doesn't matter how many times people say "I'm not mad at you" he's like "I know you're mad and hate me now." Boy get it together. Take it from an elder emo. The side characters are so good though and the politics and the horror. Its just Remy fucking mopey ass Pendergast.
