Review:
I really wanted to give this book 5 stars, it just doesn't seem fair to do with the errors it currently has. Beyond the errors, this book is amazing!
Okay, so this book. I have so many thoughts about this book. I tried to spread this book over a few nights, but then read the last 100 pages at the same time because I needed to know how it ended.
The major thing I have to mention is that the book is full of grammar errors and typos and such. If that's something that will catch you up, this might not be something that you want to read. However, if you're like me (grew up reading fanfiction) you might be used to reading around typos and errors.
Beyond that, I thought this book was completely fantastic! I often get caught up in SFF type books because of the sheer amount of worldbuilding that's usually involved, but I didn't have that here. Rather I found that I was hanging on to every word in hopes of knowing more about this world and these characters.
The characters! Easily my favorite part of the book. Each of these characters felt fleshed out. My personal favorite thing is that none of these characters were just good or just evil. Each character, and the world itself for that matter, is full of shades of grey. Everything is complex. There are so many motivations and even motivations/backstories that you don't fully know by the end of this book. I love these characters and I want the best for them. Can't wait to read more with them. Without spoilers I do want to mention that there was one character who I don't trust. I can't wait to see whether or not I will by the end of the series.
Personally, I think this book is worth reading based on the story alone. This story was so intriguing to me. There was a constant sense of immediacy and wondering as more people and machinations were revealed. There were things that were hinted at but not revealed until key moments of the book. Quick note: my only other pet peeve with this book is that I would have liked different formatting for dreams and flashbacks. Not a big deal, just a personal preference. But seriously, this plot is amazing. There were twists I saw coming and others that I didn't. I started this book absolutely backing Kira the entire way and loving her. At some point my main fondness and love switched over to Carmilla. I still loved Kira, but.Carmilla.
I really, truly love this book. I thought it was absolutely fantastic and, if it gets polished, this book could easily be one of the best things I’ve ever read. Heck, even with the errors it’s still probably one of the best books ever. If you can deal with the issues, please give this book a chance.
