A review by phrogonalilypad
Empire Of The Vampire by Jay Kristoff

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
It's believed "Woman born" cant kill the big bads... And it's not explained why that's thought... Like even if this is ever proven wrong in the books... de Leóns general attitude towards even the women he "cares" about this far is reading as pretty misogynistic... Like to even name a mare Jezebel, after a biblically evil woman in a biblically coded book... Just seems unnecessary. I know Kristoff likes to be edgy but if this was 100% intentional I at this point don't even want to find the intention... It's just a bit too much for me.

A little less misogyny and I'd probably be hooked tbh

Might pick it up later and try again but... My interest continues to wane unfortunately.

There is some amazing artworks in this book though!
