Interesting take on vampires, and had a whimsy fairytale-esque quality to the writing. Tidy ending that makes me happy to leave it where it is, despite it being a trilogy.

Honestly? I could write an essay on how much I absolutely love this book and trilogy, but for the sake of other readers, I will not. In short, I've read this trilogy multiple times, and I know I will read it multiple more. It covers so many hard topics - love and loss, love vs infatuation, growing up, growing pains, friendship, self doubt and discovery. Fantastic read, and I would recommend everyone give it a try. The last time I read it through, I went ahead and underlined all my favorite quotes, and it honestly looks like a textbook with all the gold I found in it. The duarough is the best character, just a head's up (although I deeply love them all). I feel very strongly for these books, and they really helped form the way I view love and friendship. 100000/10.

I read this back in late Middle School, maybe early High School and was one of the first dark fantasy books I encountered.

one of my adolescent favorites, still beloved.

I just luuuuurved this when I was a teenager. I should probably give Twilight some slack because it has much the same themes. But this girl ends up saving her prince instead of the other way around.

Frequent typos and questionable reasoning aside (“The vampyre is beautiful; therefore, he MUST be good!”), this book is excellent. I love the lore, and I’m curious about the world itself. (Is it the Moon?)

This is one of those books that burrowed into my brain when I read it as a child. It was so wonderful to reread it maybe fifteen years later - I don’t think I even caught all the sci-fi elements when I was young, but it still felt like wrapping myself in a favorite blanket. It’s a perfect fairy tale, and maybe one day I’ll actually get around to reading the rest of the trilogy!

Sitting between a 2.5 and a 3, I can’t decide. This reads just like an old, classic fairy tale, but it wasn’t the narrative style I had thought this story would be written in, and so it threw my enjoyment of the story off-kilter.

When I started this, my third or fourth read-through in the last 20 years, I thought maybe I was over this series. Maybe too old for YA, finally? But by the end, I was enjoying it as much as ever.

This book was so amazing!! I am so sorry that I didnt read this sooner. The beginning was a little bit slow, but that was only for like 5 pages. This book was so amazing and I liked the main character because she stayed true to her word to the wraiths. I would so totally read this again!
