This is one of those books where I read every word and neither loved it nor hated it.
The premise of the story is intriguing and will definitely keep you on your toes.
But I'm a little disappointed with the timing between the reveal and the ending. Like others, I feel it was a bit rushed towards the end and could have used a bit more something something to add to the betrayals and revolutions.

This book was good but it didn't quite get to the great category for me. The beginning was hard to get through but once the 50/60% mark came I enjoyed the story that finally started to unfold...it just took so long to get there. Usually I like an academy/school setting in books, especially a magical or paranormal one but this didn't have enough of the school elements for me. I wish we saw more of her training rather than just being told about what she was doing. There is lots of lgbt+ rep in this book, which was integrated into the Vampire society as a normal thing. There were lots of nonbinary, gender fluid, bisexuality, and pansexual characters.
