The yearning is so strong in this book. There are moments where Louis’ sorrow is so tangible it has a physicality. It drapes over the narrative of prose of the book like a curtain.
The entire time I felt like I was seeing through Louis’ eyes and was keenly aware of
“But Louis, this is the very spirit of your age. Don’t you see that? Everyone else feels as you feel. Your fall from grace and faith has been the fall of a century.”

I loved the gothic atmosphere, small bits of religious philosophy that popped up here and there, and the sensuality of these characters’ relationships. I say sensual, or maybe romantic, because it’s not sexy or sex driven where it could easily turn to. It leans into the classic seductive nature of vampire lore without making it rapey- thank goodness.
Moderate: Gore and Violence
