the split pov is pretty disjointed, and the first half felt like it could have been its own book. hundreds of years covered in 100 or so pages was… a choice. Alma’s(?) half is simultaneously more rushed feeling and more of a drag in comparison; we read about her cleaning her floor and going to vividly described bars for nearly half of her story, then she just ups and leaves her son for a sapphic vampire existence… the blood drinking scenes were wonderful, and the writing is nice on the eyes, but the narrative itself was so sparse it bordered on incomplete
this is also the first time I’ve been bored by vampire women, I honestly didn’t know that was possible for me
