Omg yum 🔥

VE Schwab captures the essence of both historical fiction and gothic
vampire
literature but thoughtfully twists some of their typical traits. Imagery that evokes painful lack, hunger, transformation, and rage buried beneath beauty. The varied ways that wears on the soul/mind. And of baring teeth against a world that rejects women’s wildness. 

Could’ve been a smidge shorter for what it was. The flowery, poetic prose -
like the characters
- was emotional, enchanting, alluring, but at times seemed eternal. 

TLDR; toxic lesbian
vampires
