I am really enjoying this book. I wasn't sure I would as I had it in my brain that it would be filled with too much gore (no reason why I had this in my head). But this book is just like many other historical fictions books I read with many accurate description and scenes of the time. 1600s are such an interesting part of history! It is well written and makes you want to keep reading. I'm hope to finish this weekend and really enjoying the author.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I honestly didn't mind the slow pace, but I kind of wish the story went more into Joshua's prophecy.

I also found him kind of wishy washy as a character. It might have been because he was still significantly young, but I did not care for him as much.

Also Val didn't deserve what happened to her, she was my favorite 😔

Doppoetry The problem with Joshua also is that, his backstory is really interesting, interesting things happen around him. But as a character he is very bland.

For him, there was character growth at some point in the past, but it stopped when the story began, he did not learn more as a character, he was just the generic “good vampire“ without really doing anything significant.

Doppoetry There was also the vampire Moses-Jesus allegory for him, but as I mentioned before, it just sort of doesn't go anywhere aside from “We did it, we beat the bad guy vampire so we can move on to do whatever.“

It is not mentioned if he did save his people or not, there were no implications of if he did or didn't.

Aside from those gripes, it was a pretty fine book.

This was a fun read. It is the kind of read to help you slow down. It had a cute romance. It was so exciting towards the end. It had a very cute ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Picked this one up today (its my #BookSpin book pick) anyway. Just one chapter in so far - love how the story takes place a couple hours from where I grew up in (Mcallen).

So in the 35 pages I‘ve read thus far, I have come to two conclusions… 1: I have watched far too many Chinese historical dramas, thus giving Wang Yibo‘s face to the male lead in the book… and 2: if the two characters I am currently rooting for are not in love together by the end of the book… imma RIOT!
