Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma
3.75
adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced

Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

THIS is what I want when I'm looking for enemies to lovers in fantasy. Wow, wow, wow. The anger and hatred and tension between these two was INSANE and the slow burn is perfectly paced. I'm also a big fan of the "I don't want to save you from your darkness, I want to make you worse," energy that Kidan/Susenyos had. 

This is a dark and twisty story with an entire cast of morally gray characters. And while I may not have always followed the worldbuilding, I was able to look past that because the characters were SO compelling (and a little depraved) that I just needed to know what they were going to do next. 

I really enjoyed the audiobook but I wish I had the e-book/physical for annotating purposes because there were SO many quotable moments between Kidan and Susenyos.
