The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
5.0
Human or vampire, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.
It has been quite some time since I last read a combination of bloodfest, dark magic, gore and notions of romance rolled into one book. Think of blooddier Hunger Games kind of trials, political machinations of ACOTAR and darker version of Kingdom of Blood and Ash.
1. Oraya and her humanity has been one of the centerpoints of why she did what she did. It was also a stronghold reason for her recognized father, the Nightborn Vampire King, to train her not only how to kill but to consider it as a weakness
2. Raihn and his mildly shocking history on how he was turned as a vampire had to be one of the best peaks of the story, well that plus the twists that followed after that revelation
3. The twisted lustre of the vampire world and their deities is intricately written. The word building was kinda slow burn but its worth holding on to every word
Conceptually, it really had some awesome ideas and I just went by the pages in less than a day. I devoured this beautifully and I don't regret the book hangover that came along with it
