My friend. My enemy. My lover. My captor. King and slave. Human and vampire

Review 4,5 ster

Why did I wait so long to read this pearl? I ate it up! I really flew through it.

The writing is just very easy to read, the characters are likable and display a lot of growth and the plot is very addictive.

The only thing that didn’t make it five stars for me is that I found Oraya is very naive at the beginning and that bothered me a bit. But in the end she is this amazing fierce FMC!

Some of my favorite quotes:
- The king did not know then that his greatest love would also be his ruination
- And love, understand, is sharper than any stake
- Never trust. Never yield. Always guard your heart
- Death isn’t frightening when weighed against an insignificant existence
- Do you want to change this world, little serpent? Then climb your cage until you are so high no one can catch you. Break its bars and make them your weapon. Nothing is sharper, I know because I did it
- I’ve lived through some injustices in the last couple of centuries. Seen some fucking travesties. But one of the biggest Oraya, is that anyone taught you that you should become anything other than exactly what you are
- A world without you would be a dark, depressing place. And I’ve already inflicted enough pain without committing that fucking injustice, too. So let me save you now
- My friend. My enemy. My lover. My captor. King and slave. Human and vampire
