An interesting one. What an interesting take on vampires. I loved all the characters and their toxic dynamics. It truly felt like an exploration of what it is to be human and who we should interact with others.

But also, this is basically Addie take 2. A similar concept with characters living long lives.

I really liked that it wasn't exactly what you thought it would be in terms of narrative. But I feel like a little bit more thought could have gone into making it work. Idk. Like it was so almost there with the shift from narrating Sabine to narrating Charlotte, but not quite.

I loved the overriding concepts and felt it dealt beautifully with the moral side of things. It was very grey in the best way.

But I also feel like the ending was a tad rushed. Idk.
