Nothing really happens apart from the main character being terrible? I thought this might be a fun vampire book but honestly was pretty bored. I feel the lack of the main character's growth over 100s of years is not believable.

dark reflective sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Not exactly what I expected - I thought the two narratives would be intertwined (between past and present) rather than in two halves. I did like the first half but preferred the second half (ie present day/focused on Alma) although again, I think I expected more of an overlap with them as characters than it had.

I feel like I might have enjoyed it more if the second half was longer and was the main story, and the first half sprinkled throughout, but equally it might have detracted from Alma’s story to keep dipping out of it… so it is a very small critique

Ohhhhhh I loved this one.

It’s my first vampire read, and it’s soooo good. I love the build up, both of their perspectives IS complete perfection. Would’ve straight up given it 5 stars but I felt like the ending was kinda rushed and I felt like it was lacking.

But overall, I love it. So much. I seriously need to own my own copy of this book (cause I just borrowed it from my friend) AAAAAAAAA
