Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma
3.0
tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

On paper, this was definitely a book for me. I love dark academia and I love vampires, so what could go wrong? 

Well... a few things apparently. 

Firstly, I wasn't sold on the characters. I didn't really like them, nor did I feel any of their decision-making was particularly rational and so I found myself annoyed and detached from them for most of the book. Then I also wasn't totally won over by the prose and even the plot felt less like a cohesive story than a sequence of events. 

Still, I did finish this and was intrigued by some part of it. I think some would like this, it just wasn't really what I hoped it would be.
