I liked the book, but it didn’t blow my mind. The plot was kind of predictable. I did not feel the chemistry between the love interests. And I did not like Domek. He was the plain ass shounen anime protagonist that felt like saving the world was something he had to do all by himself. Which makes characters so self important that I start disliking them.
A good thing though, was that the author was aware of this and made the characters around Domek comment on this. I loved that!!
What saved the story for me was the uniqueness of the pijavica, they were actually kind of terrifying and the side characters. And finally another city than London or London or… London

lolatarantula's review against another edition
Style is bland and passive so I didnt't get far into it. Immature isn't the right word to describe it and amateur sounds unkind, but I get the feeling this is by someone who got most of their writing practice from roleplay and fanfiction. I think a decent editor could have cleaned it up but there's a market for this kind of novel right now so I'm not that surprised.
