Wow. Hafsah Faizal definitely grew a lot from writing the Sands of Arawiya series to writing this book. It’s definitely one of her best works yet. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and found the plot enticing, as well as the characters. I loved Arthie, Flick, and most of all, Jin. Having the multiple perspectives was definitely a good idea. I can’t wait for A Steeping of Blood!

Très bonne surprise !
J'avais bien aimé les livres précédents de l'autrice, mais celui-ci est vraiment au-dessus. Plus adulte, avec un univers bien construit, compréhensible, original et des personnages attachants et qui évoluent. Arthie est peut-être le personnage que j'apprécie le moins, mais elle reste agréable à suivre et certains défauts que je lui trouve sont justifié par le récit.
Certain·es pourront trouver le début lent, mais cela permet de bien installer l'univers, les objectifs, les situations et les personnages. Le récit s'accélère à la fin et promet une belle suite.

De plus, j'apprécie beaucoup que les différents romans de l'autrice se déroulent de le même univers.

So much fun here! This is a vampire novel with vampires that feel different from other similar titles, but they aren't so similar as to feel like they aren't really vampires any more. I also liked the characters fairly well, though I found them a little to idealistic to really resonate with me. Similarly, I loved the messaging about colonialism, but it sometimes felt a little to overt when the situations and plot of the story made it so clear. I didn't need a character to tell me that colonialism is horrible when every aspect of the story is doing a good job of showing me that same fact. Despite these issues, the book was very enjoyable, and I will not hesitate to pick up the second book when it releases.

The only thing I liked was the characters. There was potential, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I was disappointed because, although I think this author writes well, I never connect with her stories.
It was only the cliffhanger ending that made me consider reading the next book in the series.
