Who doesn’t love an assassin falling for her target story? And this was an especially delicious one—a human assassin nun (monk? cult person?) whose service to her deity involved un-alive-ing peeps. Oh, and she was blind (think Lady Justice). And her target was a military general vampire, in an army of vampires.

Love a badass heroine, love morally grey characters, love an MC with a secret identity, and I super duper loved the POV of a character who didn’t see the world with her eyes—instead she described everything in terms of their metaphysical threads. Very cool!

A teeny ‘but’—I like single POV stories.. with one very specific exception: when the non-POV character is the clammed-up silent type plus their character growth and/or romantic feelings are an important part of the story. I get why some people could love this—it definitely gives the love interest a huge dose of mystique. But for me, it taps into the worst parts of my overthinking personality (aka I spend too much mental energy parsing their one-word statements for subtext). I need that dual-POV. For my own sanity.

Still, a very entertaining stand-alone novel in this amazing series.
