Going to come back to the story. Just need a break.
Update Jan 3, 2024.
I finally finished it.... Here is my review:
I was so waiting for the “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” moment and it never came....... I was disappointed but it was an okay read. The pace from the last book was lost. Became repetitive with the "There she is". It just didn't captivate me the first book.

Honestly, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first. I found it to be very slow and I lost interest quite a bit. It was pretty obvious where the plot was heading, so none of it was really that big of a surprise.
Oraya spends most of the book trying to hate Raihn for what he has done, but she continues to harbour feelings for him. While Raihn spends most of the book trying to prove that he is not the bad guy Oraya thinks he is. It gets old pretty fast since this makes up like 200+ pages of the book.
During the second part of the book, we see Oraya and Raihn forge an alliance to take back the kingdom from Septimus and Simon. This part was more fast pace and a bit more interesting, but still very long.
Tropes: vampires, magic, enemies to lovers (again)
