This book was not a fast read, but it was worth every second. While I found it dragged a little bit at some points, it maintained my interest throughout enough that it didn't particularly detract from my experience. The narrator for the audiobook took a bit of getting used to, but made some great sound effects, so that had more of an impact than the writing itself on the experience.
As for the writing and the contents, I loved the style. Chupeco's writing allows for a predictable but not too predictable ending, and has the kind of foreshadowing that helps the reader figure out the mysteries within alongside the characters. I enjoyed seeing the romance dynamics, which I find still relatively rare. This book used some classic tropes, but still felt unique. If you're looking for an interesting fantasy with court vampires, complicated family relationships, and a polyamorous relationship, I highly recommend this book!
