V.E. Schwab is not for me.

If you want to read about lesbian vampires, read Lucy Undying by Kiersten White or something else. If you want to read something that is similar to Interview with a Vampire…. Watch an Interview with a Vampire.

This was slow to start, but then I got into it. I wish the back half had had some chapters from Sabine’s POV. I think it was a real miss to leave her behind for Lottie/Alice.

Really enjoyed the poetic writing style, portrayal of intimacy, and the exploration of queer themes. Also, the exploration of the characters motivations and complexities. 
For the most part I was also happy with the pacing other than feeling a bit lost in the middle on where it was headed. As well as the ending that felt rushed and could have been more well developed imo. 
Overall an absolutely lovely read and I would recommend!
