4.5 ‘There she is.� stars
I’m not a forgiving person and i wasn’t sure how could I ever get over that kind of betrayal that occurred in the first book. But the angst? The grovelling? The inner conflict?
Oraya was going through so much. For such a paranoid character with a lot of trust issues it was all just so hard. Between her grief, pain, and feeling betrayed. It was just a lot. I loved how she didn’t give in easily or forgive and get over everything so fast. She was fighting both an inner battle and an actual war so fiercely.
This book was such a journey and I’ve enjoyed everything about it. From the world building, to the vampire politics, the war and betrayals, to the rivals romance, and the complex father/daughter relationship. The characters development in this book was just so good. Also, the way I highlighted many parts. Ahhh I just love those books.
Vincent and Oraya’s relationship is one of the most interesting parts about this book. I was so interested knowing more and reading more about it. It was just so complex. So deep and full of layers. I could feel her inner struggles and the understatement she reached by the end. I just loved how all those characters went through a lot of emotions and how they all kind of found some kind of a conclusion by the end.

“You have nothing but me,� I said. “And yet, you’d let me go?�
“I have nothing but you,� he murmured. “So I am letting you go.�
