This book's logic makes no sense. I understand that it's fantasy, but the plot and explanations still need to be logical. I don't understand how a human could be nonstop bleeding literally ALL NIGHT, make multiple treks out while wounded, and still win in a fight against a bloodlusting vampire. I would understand if she had one special power, but she's literally just a normal human.

Started first tournament challenge and it's super eye-rolly. Can't stand that the human is still alive and barely injured while vampires with hundreds of years of experience literally died almost instantly. Plot armor goes crazy. Also, why is she so obsessed with that Rhain dude when she's literally fighting for her life... Get a grip! Focus! She's never cared about anything but survival before! Why the switch up?!

I usually don't like this genre, or books written in this style, but I didn't mind this one at first. Not too much unneccessary fluff.

I was weirded out by how they kept emphasizing how small and tiny Oraya was as a baby. I shouldn't have been weirded out, because duh babies are small and tiny, but... I guess just the way it was written was cringe.

Now, for some reason, she's jealous of a lady her dad likes???? ew
