This book is as dark as it is beautiful. I enjoyed the descriptions and the main character's connection to nature. It's a shame though, I think this novel could have been a lot longer. Parts of it definitely felt rushed,  especially the ending. The end didn't feel satisfying or fitting for the sisters' journey. 

I also wouldn't really say it's a vampire book as the vampires don't come into it until the very end. It's more of a historical novel about two sisters trying to survive tyranny and hardship.

Something that concerns me is I am not aware if the author is a traveller or has consulted with travellers for sensitivity reading. The community seemed to be portrayed well to me, however I know this community has a lot of closed practises and as someone who is not a traveller myself I can't really say whether the representation is accurate or not. 

Overall though it was a good book, just be prepared that is is very dark and has a lot of triggering and sad bits. 

I wasn't really surprised by Kizzy's decision at the end, I found her character pretty arrogant and annoying, but still I'm sad her sister joined her instead of joining Mira. I didn't feel like her and Mira's relationship was as rushed as others said, I think they had a spark from the beginning and there were definitley signs leading up to it.
