I was gonna give this 4 stars, but the fact that i just finished it a couple of hours ago and I already feel like i forgot most of it might be a sign of something. (or maybe i have awful memory)
Either way, this gave me From Blood And Ash vibes at the beginning but I appreciated that it wasnt as overly crowded with sex scenes as FBAA, so it still kept me engaged with the plot. That being said I felt like we could've gotten a lot more from this book as its a medium pace and its just basically setting up the plot for the next books. I think the twist could've also been a lot "juicier" if it hadn't dragged out as much.
Anyways, i found it entertaining and engaging and of course the ending is basically incomplete to be able to continue the story in the next one. It has romance, magic, court politics, ✨spice✨, vampires, monsters, betrayals, etc, all that stuff.
I'll consider reading the second one 👍
