Not me wanting to crawl into this book and never leave it. Primus is great and all and I like him, but that sadistic vamp Rorrick......absolutely a delight everytime hes on the scene. Love that murderous, casually dismissive, cold as ice but so goddamn hot at the same time. I love the way the mystical, magical, supernatural, and holy worlds all blend together to create this world. I love the murder mystery curled up with palace intrigue, a fight for freedom, and (gods I hope) love triangle that all work together to make this such a brilliant story. And I want the next one. Now.
Dark Fantasy That Hurt (Affectionately)I had SO much fun reading We Who Will Die. This book had me hooked almost immediately and then proceeded to ruin my peace in the best way. The world is dark, dangerous, and immersive, and the stakes never stop escalating. I was stressed, invested, and fully seated the entire time.The arena scenes??? Absolutely feral. Every challenge felt intense and brutal. And the vampires, oh my god. Morally gray, sharp, mysterious, and constantly keeping me guessing. The character dynamics are chef’s kiss: messy alliances, unresolved tension, layered conversations, and a little spice that makes certain moments scorchingArvelle is such a compelling main character, determined, flawed, and easy to root for. There’s a slow unraveling of secrets about who she is and what’s really going on that had me theorizing nonstop. Every reveal made me want to immediately talk to someone about it.By the end, I was emotionally attached, mildly unwell, and already desperate for the next book. A seriously great start to a new series, and I will be continuing without hesitation.Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced copy
