After seeing so many people RAVE about this book, about the "world building" and "lore" and "high fantasy elements", I was severely let down and almost DNFed this book many times. The world building was lackluster and had no proper structure or setup which made it very hard to understand anything going on. The first quarter of the book had me in constant question marks. The lore made absolutely no sense because tell me why a weak little human (idc if she was trained from young) was able to, time and time again, overpower and kill VAMPIRES. The vampires honestly seem really weak - they're like humans who are immortal and drink blood but that's about it. Also, Oraya was the most insufferable FMC throughout the book with her blind devotion and loyalty to Vincent. Even her own brain tries to point out his inconsistencies and red flags but she GASLIGHTS herself into putting Vincent back on his pedestal. And Vincent wins the award for worst father in the world because if that is love, I don't want it. I honestly can't think if any moments in this book fhat I loved. Maybe the spice because it was the only thing that made sense. But Raihn killing Vincent was satisfactory, wish it was dragged out more. Also wished I DNFed this and didn't waste my time.
