Reviews with content warning for Gore - Silver Under Nightfall

I loved this book so much. It's everything everyone was saying about it. I loved the characters and watching their relationship develop with each other slowly was so beautiful. The world building was perfect, never clunky or out of place with the exposition. The characters desires were clear and their flaws were also well established. This book was a little more political than I thought it was going to be but it's still so good. It never got boring or over the top.
I am worried about reading the second one because I've heard people say it's a let down compared to this one, but I will take the chance on it just because I love this book so much and I want to know what happens.

People say not to judge a book by its cover but one look at that gorgeous colorful art and I just had to give it a go. Incredibly glad I made that call. I'd been on the lookout for a good queer vampire story to sink my teeth into (haha!) and here it was.
This was a great read. It was full of action, lore, intense characters and mystery. There weren't any dull moments and I'm excited to read the second book soon.

5.0

Good plot, gruesome gore, suspenseful action, sizzling sexual tension, messy bisexual protagonist, a dash of humor throughout. I’m in love.

Extremely heavy on the romance subplot to the point that it sometimes feels like the primary plot, so ymmv depending on what you want here.

I do wish the world was sketched out more clearly because I still feel a little lost with references to the various fantasy nations and their respective cultures, but that was a minor detraction. Excessive swearing also sometimes felt jarring.

No notes. Highly recommend to anyone who has ever read a vampire novel and gone "you know, I feel like they could have gone harder on this." Also recommend to anyone who wants polyamory in their fantasy novels but struggles with pure romance books, as long as you have a strong tolerance for body horror.

My first read for the 2024 Trans Rights Readathon!

I really enjoyed this book! I love these characters so much especially Remy. Remy is a such a wonderful character I was instantly attached to him. His struggles with his past, feeling as though he owes his father everything, the way he feels that no one loves him without needing something from him in return. My heart hurt for him immensely.

The only reason I’m not giving this book 5 stars is because of Zidan and Remys back and forth. How many times were really necessary to try and put something between them? I get it, in a way, it benefited Zidan and Remys characters to show some of their biggest flaws but at the same time it was kinda frustrating to watch it happen multiple times.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to read the sequel!

(re-read on audio) [ The audio narration was ok, not a ton of differentiation between the main characters when speaking which sometimes made it hard to follow]

WE NEED MORE BOOKS WITH THROUPLES!!!
