I went in pretty blind to this story and woah was I swept up. I admit that I'm a sucker for anything vampire but I've never read anything quite like this. The storytelling was rich and immersive - that paired with the world building was definitely ny favorite part. I enjoyed most of the characters and plot. I will also admit that I saw the ending coming (I won't spoil it for others) but I had a feeling that a particular aspect was going to unfold a specific way, and it did. Other aspects were a surprise, though! Will definitely be continuing this series and seeking more from this author, the writing was just *so* good and atmospheric.
