to start with the negatives;
i wasn’t really a fan of it the scene where orion bites darius and there’s like a sensual moment between them cause darius is literally 14 at the time,,, like we get that vampire bites can get a little risqué but that easily could’ve been left out in my opinion
another thing that frustrated me about this prequel was that we learned so much yet so very little. most of what i read towards the end was a big question mark.
on to the positives:
this was way more refreshing i guess since there wasn’t a huge romance focus and a bit more lore/backstory so i really appreciate that
the stakes in this felt high even thou you know the characters are gonna be fine, i wish book one read more like this as it felt more of a large info dump
