I am torn on this one. There were parts that are just top notch and there are parts that are meh.
Gabriel is a good protagonist. I mean he is a bastard who would do whatever it takes to protect his loved ones. And he *knows* he is an asshole and accepts it. And that's super rare.
Also I might be wrong but god why it was nececary to include "girl who dresses like a boy" bec it's safer... And nobody asked pronouns of the person in question... 😐
The idea that vampires are evil because the can do *whatever they want with no consequence* not any magical shinnanigans. Grey Wardens 😍😍😍
Also a man who hates everyone but his boyfriend 😍😍😍🏳️🌈
P. S. I know this review is a mess.

thewereraven's review against another edition
Extreme misogyny that permeated the entire book. It became impossible to overlook after Dior was revealed to have been binding their chest It was even transphobic in how it handled that. I no longer had any interest.
