I know a lot of people rave about them in Scarlett’s work, but since reading A Touch of Ruin and now this book, I just can’t help but be reminded that quantity does not equal quality.

I mostly read romance and SFF though I love to dabble in other genres but tend to stay away from horror and ghosty things because I'm The Ultimate Chicken™️. Isolde is a "thick" girl who cannot fit to slim standards, has been trained to fight and mostly uses knives and daggers. I know she had a lot to work through, especially having been indoctrinated from a young age to believe the worst of vampires, but her whining became a bit much at times.Registered address: Unit 31, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom.

I think that's why it took me a week to read it- because I had to reread a lot, and because some days I put the book down and couldn't be bothered reading it.Now, as politics in the Red Palace grow more underhanded and a deadly blood mist threatens all of Cordova, Isolde must trust in the bond she's formed with Adrian, even as she learns troubling information about his complicated past.

The pace of the story and writing complements this brilliantly, making for a flowing narrative that you hardly want to put down. While this is not something that will matter to some people, it made a big difference to me because this book is such an improvement from ATOD.This books is nothing new (taylor reference yes) but actually a combination of good parts of FBAA, Shadows between us and TVD. But she is also compassionate to a fault and struggles to learn that duty to her people first might not always be the right course.

Ahora, lo que más detesté de este libro es que tiene el típico final que lo cambia todo, esa clase de final que te hace replantearte lo que leíste y que te hace querer darle una oportunidad al siguiente libro de la saga. We’re supposed to see her as this amazing, independent woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone but all I saw was a mean character who genuinely attacked everyone she meets for no apparent reason. All of her driven side disappears and instead, we got a whining teenager facing mean girls and bullies. There were also a few twists and even a betrayal, but sadly, I saw most of them coming because of the hints that were dropped here and there.There is A LOT of smut in this one, and by the 50% mark, it even started to feel a little repetitive. As Adrian and Isolde's paths intertwine, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other, forming an intense bond that transcends the boundaries of fate.
