AUGHUH I LOVE VAMPIRES SO MUCH FIRST DND, REAPER MAN, AND NOW THIS!?!
This is a book with VERY complex characters, so much so that I am very exited to read this book once again when I am older (and wiser) the plot is pretty simple, but it shines with how well written these characters are. The exploration of immortality and how a vampire would struggle with it was very intersting, I also could not put this down and read it I two days. It’s also interning reading this book and know what Anne was going through writing this makes it feel even more human.Very angsty and philosophical, but would pay money to have middle school me read these books, the writing style is also just so good, straightforward yet still beautiful.
