this was absolutely an amazing book, at first I found it interesting because it is about stuff like Dracula and allbut it turned put better then expected, it was a book I couldn't put down and read and read on and on, it has some nice lgbtq+ story line and it really made me happy. so I definitely recommend it to everyone who loves dark,mystical,lgbtq+ stories

Dark and beautiful in its hope and despair, love and inevitable tragedy! This was recommended to me by the algorithm after finishing "House of Hunger" (A. Henderson) and it fits in with it really well. Despite it being in the YA category, there was a heavy darkness in here. Themes of sisterhood and resilience are explored to their bittersweet depths until the tragic end and bloody aftermath. Beside its beautiful design, one of its best qualities is the immersive, sometimes poetic prose and the world that seems bigger than just our story. I loved the creepy yet magical forests, hated the cruel villages. It gets 4.5 stars from me, for slight struggles in the beginning that could've had a bit more fine tuning. Beware that the mentioned enslavement is explicitly and quite bluntly written and that actions have rough consequences in this novel. I'd recommend it to older teens/adults, not younger teens, personally. It's a great gothic novel with a bit of f/f romance and heavy discussion material. Definitely worth the read!
