I, eh… don’t even know how to feel about
this book 😂
It’s like I both loved and hated it.
On one hand, I literally could not put it down, I was ADDICTED it was an
all-consuming madness, I read it in one day nonstop. All of the events were
just too exciting, I could not stop reading from start to finish. And of
course, I adored Elizabeth - THAT GIRL ROCKS, she’s sooo freaking good. And I
also loved the villain as a love interest trope.
On the other hand, I wanted to PUNCH the villain of a love interest in the
face. He… wow… I can’t even. He’s a piece of work, that’s for sure.
I was also disappointed with the separation arc between them and that it was
resolved too quickly and without us getting more time with them as a couple, I
felt it was rather frustrating and that we needed more there.
And another thing that kind of ruined the romance for me was how Lothaire
basically couldn't accept Elizabeth fully as his Bride/Queen until he turned
her into a vampire + couldn't fully accept her as an equal until she nearly
decapitated him. For reference, just look back and Neomi and Conard's book and
see what a TRUE immortal/mortal pairing is like, how it never seems Conard
wants her as an immortal because he can't accept her as a human, how they BOTH want
to be together forever. So yeah, I feel like the author could have done that
part better because she's done it fantastically before.
