Take a shot every time she says "I'm the maiden" "The chosen one."  You'd be in a coma and then die in two days time. What does being a maiden even mean!? This isn't explained at all. Does it have anything to do with

the gift?

Also, the Dark One? What a boring name. The dark lord did it better. There were also constant dots... in sentences... that don't even... need it. 🙄

I liked that everything that happens in Masadonia is a lie but all of that is overshadowed by everyone calling her the freaking maiden. *angry Pikachu face*

I enjoyed the first 3/4 then it got overly dramatic. 
I have complex feelings about this book 

Pros:
 great world building
Gripping plot
Whitty and interesting dialog 

Cons: 
characters fall in love too quickly in questionable circumstances.
promotes poor relationships.
excessive emphasize on sex and physical attrition we could use more emotional connection to make the relationship more palatable.

The smut was A1 and it was all thanks to not using slit unless it was referring to eyes. The plot twists go crazy and the worldbuilding is so good. It feels satisfying to have the word vampry used at the end of the book because like… you know! … but the confirmation is nice and like. Rounds out out really well. I love.
