Sleepless Volume 1 by Sarah Vaughn
3.0
This is a very interesting story about a royal family. Poppy is the "illegitimate" daughter of a former king. Now, that someone else sits upon the throne, someone is making attempts on her life. Presumably to prevent her from laying claim to the throne. The story unfolds as Poppy and her sleepless guard Cyrenic try to figure out who wants her dead.
The best part of the story is the relationship between Poppy and Cyrenic. The vow he took to protect her was interesting - the sleepless literally do not sleep and no one's aware of if they can be released from their vow with any method other than death. Cyrenic is very dedicated to Poppy and its clear she cares about him, as well.
The cast of characters looks very diverse and, honestly, I'd rather see an adaptation of this kind of cast with dark skinned black women than something like Bridgerton. I checked the second volume out from the library, as well, so I'll be continuing the story.
