Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson
4.0

4.3 ⭐

A fun time. I liked learning about the different revenants and undead. Oddly enough, I felt like I was in the Cathedral of the Deep, even though the tones of this book and Dark Souls are incredibly different.

I didn't enjoy the writing style too much. It wasn't terrible, but it was very straightforward. I also thought that the writing should've felt more serious due to the topics covered in this book.

ALSO, this book did my least favorite thing; it ended with a vague mention of a second book. As far as I know, this is a standalone book. It would be really awesome if the next story is Artemisia when she's older and she meets Leander again. Hm.
