I liked this. Let me start there. At the end of the day, I liked this and how all the little cases tied together. However, because there are a lot of little moments that all tie together about halfway through the audiobook I wondered why the book was still going. Despite a few letters for Mina, after part one of the book, there is no Dracula. I was also disappointed that we didn't get to properly meet Kitty Winter. Since I started this series on Book Three, I really liked her as a side character, and I was hoping in the first book we'd get a proper introduction to her. I was mistaken, she just sort of drops in around the second part of the book. There were a few great moments throughout the book, ones that had me on the edge of my seat while I was reading. Moments when I paused it because I couldn't listen at work distracted. While I did like this one, a lot is happening and a lot to unpack in this book, if I started with this book I don't know if I would have finished this series. But after reading the third book and loving it, I know it gets better than just okay. So I am going to jump into Book Two.
I've been a fan of Bree Paulson of years after meeting her at ECCC and being introduced to her Patrick the Vampire series. Since then I've always snagged up anything she's created. This was definitly a little more emotional than I thought it was going to be, but I throughly enjoyed it! I loved the lore and the magic system she created, and how the story weaved together. Paulson crammed so much into this story, giving us both the history that left scars in the magic, as well as giving us a story apart from the war. But, also tying it to the past. This was a great story as beautiful as it was heartbreaking.
HAPPY READING!!
