It started sooo good. I loved the setting, the storytelling and the characters. I could see myself in Samara and live her emotions.
It started great as a slow burn but then the interactions with the Raphael seemed not enough. Samara spends a lot of time with other side characters and the moments spent with the MMC seem just like any other moment. The chemistry from the beginning feels like it dissapeared. I will continue with the next book.
I received an advance review copy and my thoughts are my own.

Can’t wait for the next book!
It’s a sow paced book but it was never boring or tiring.
I did not expectRaphael being the king but I did expect Sam being the necromancer, didn’t expect her to be turned in the first book though
I did like the balance of expected and unexpected events in this book!

This book was absolutely amazing! I feel so privileged to have been given the opportunity to ARC read this masterpiece. If you grew up loving Twilight and find yourself dabbling in ACOTAR or Fourth Wing even, this book is the best of all worlds put together into one amazing piece of art. In no way does it copy or try to mimic any of them in my opinion, but as you read you will find yourself fondly look back upon the parts of those books you loved and feel that warm fuzzy feeling again.
Samara is such a lovable character that I found myself relating to on so many levels. Raphael quickly became a favorite as well, along with the company he keeps, treating Samara as one of their own.
The tropes of this book are amazing and the description of intimate moments left me wanting more! The slow burn this book took on was absolutely amazing. Now excuse me while I go make this book my entire personality and bully everyone I know to read it. Cannot wait until the next book is released!

Audiobook ARC is coming in hot, and yes, yes, yes! Read this if you're a fantasy lover. If you're in your vamp era. I loved the world, I loved our main characters. I loved how easy the story was. This was so far up my alley I don't even know what to say about it. What I do know is I CANNOT wait for round two. Shoot it into my veins Vasilisa!!!!
I flew through this journey. Please hold, I'm off to see if Vasilisa has a back catalog for me to raid.
