Enjoyable read though, but it was very much a "kinda want to see what happens" vibe that drew me to ordering the next book, not a "I need to know what happens NOW".

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.

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.

The plot twist at the end was unexpected, and my heart broke for the FMC.
But the build-up I thought was good.
My only frustration was that I struggled to keep track of some of the less prominent characters that turned out to be significant in the end. This somewhat interrupted the flow of the story for me.
Spice 2.5/5
Plot 4.75
Book boyfriend: This is difficult because of the plot twist, but the for the most part 90% maybe a 3.5/5
