I rate books using CAWPILE created by G from bookroast on YouTube.
This book only got 4 stars because I did not enjoy this book. I think I gave it a 3/10 for enjoyment. I took me almost 2 weeks to read it and I dreaded listening to the audio book. Not because the narration was bad or that the writing was bad. The characters were well written and believable. I even like the author's parallel to colonialism with the vampire world. I loved this fresh lore on vampires.
I wish I could articulate what I did not enjoy. I can say that part of it is Atl's stubbornness.
This book will be going in the unhaul pile. I am happy to have read it. I will read other books by this author.
