Reviews with content warning for Blood - Lord of Eternal Night

The story had potential but the writing was lacking and felt super clunky at times. I was entertained enough to finish it but I think it really needed another couple rounds of editing.

This author has such fantastic ideas and tropes, but they are so poorly executed. I can tolerate a lot of different writing styles, but this one I just can't. I'm sorry but I don't even know how I finished this, someone please get this man a writing course, because every time a see an interesting summary of a book and this man's name on it, I die a little inside.

I liked everything about this Book. Except for the last one and a half chapters.

In the second to last chapter, I had a „really? This is how it ends? I didn’t expect that and I love that!“ moment. Then it goes on to turn around and make me go „oh yeah here it is, this is what I figured would happen“. Which dampened the amount of joy I had while reading. Additionally: The way the characters acted in the last chapter felt very out of place to me.

But honestly? I’m kind of whining about my own high standards and things that I would’ve preferred a little different Plot-wise. Someone else will surely love this ending just the way it is.

Oh. My. God.

This was my first read of 2022 and I was not disappointed. I was prepared for the mlm spin of Beauty and the Beast. I was NOT prepared for the Vampire origin story??? I can't even begin to explain how much i absolutely adore this take on vampirism.

And the prospect of Marius, Jak, and Katharine developing a family dynamic??? That's how I perceived it and I give it a 10/10.

Also... "My Jak"... That sends me into orbit.

I absolutely adore this book, I'm excited for the future of this book universe.
