Nothing would have changed if she was 20 instead of 16 and it would have made the main relationship and book feel less creepy. The love interest seems to come from a culture that Maori based and is seen as coming from a culture that is vicious and backwards. The blood-speaker has so many anti-Semitic tropes. I really wanted to like this book but I can't ignore all of that
