I have very mixed feelings about this book. I didn't really enjoy the writing style and found the FMC to be quite insufferable. I love the concept of this book and the magic was interesting but not even close to making an ounce of sense. I understand it's the 1st book in a series but this just wasn't for me and I will not be picking up the second one. The book cover is STUNNING and I adore vampire books but this felt so boring. Even during the action I wasn't pulled in. The FMC made zero sense and we don't really get to see her having these huge revelations, it's all done through dialogue which I do not enjoy. Also why is she just so okay with the MMC lying and manipulating her all because he's hot?? He's a direct parallel to the guy who abused her?? I struggled really hard with this book but if you enjoy a fantasy with almost no world building, trials with zero epic feel or suspense, and found family that feels very forced, then I suppose you'd like this. Oh also the spice is okay I guess? But their relationship felt too sudden and too lacklustre for me.
The setting and world-building are very unique. It is a slow burn, both in terms of romance and story development but I enjoyed that.
