THIS BOOK IS GOING TO ACHIEVE CULT STATUS AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS IMMEDIATELY!!

This is truly fitting for the world as we know it. For the misfits who are so angry at the lack of the control they’re offered and are willing to take it back.

“Your hatred burns like ocean ice. And it’s entirely… mine. I’ve never owned something so completely.”

I don’t have enough words to express how much I loved this story. I’ve already preordered the special edition first print release because I needed it.

There are so many reasons I loved this book but nobody wants to read a narrative length review so I’ll try and keep it simple.

Cultural representation, Ethiopian mythology, dark academia, feminine rage, a refreshing take on vampires.
I would say morally grey but grey has left the chat and we are deep in pitch black territory and unapologetically so.

The language is beautiful, the world is an ethereal gothic masterpiece. Girma has created something truly stunning that deserves every inch of praise that is being thrown her way.

THE GALA SCENE!!! When I realised what item she was obtaining my heart quite literally stopped.

THE ENDING! How is it even possible to have TWO cliffhangers at the end?!

For lovers of political intrigue, secret societies and a revenge plot that might heal your heart instead.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read an ARC copy. This review is left voluntarily

A fantastic read. Edge of your seat, vampires, witchcraft, university. Well written novel and I am looking forward to reading more from this author
