thewereraven's review against another edition

Extreme misogyny that permeated the entire book. It became impossible to overlook after

Dior was revealed to have been binding their chest

It was even transphobic in how it handled that. I no longer had any interest.

It’s a book about vampire wars that centres around a religious order of vampire hunters based heavily in Christianity, so there is a LOT of blood, violence and institutional abuse

herbivorehaunts's review against another edition

one time I saw a tweet that said something along the lines of "do you think Edward uses Bella's Diva Cup as a shot glass" and I guess Jay Kristoff saw it too and got inspired.

I love vampires, but unfortunately I hated what I read of this one, so despite the hype and the beautiful cover I'm DNFing.
