Objectively, I think this book is very well-executed and well-written. I’m honestly so proud of myself for reading and finishing it, since I am not a big vampire lover and I typically don’t read books this slow-paced.

If you want plot and twists and movement and action, this book is not for you. But if you want morally grey, extremely character driven narrative that leaves you reflecting and confused, this book is for you!!

Overall, I did like this a lot. Not a new fave for me personally, but I know this book is MEANT to be life-changing for many readers and I’m glad Ms. Schwab fed you well 💖🫡
