I can't believe I enjoyed the book as much as I did. My brain is telling me it deserves approximately two stars, but my heart just won't listen. I enjoyed this so ridiculously much, but I wouldn't recommend it to no one, because I feel like no sensible person could like this.
1. Please, could we stop naming vampires Vlad? It's a bit obnoxious... but I kind of loved Vlad...

Something in Vlad’s eyes. Surprise? Panic? She would be okay with panic. It would mean she wasn’t the only one who felt out of control today. Although a vampire feeling out of control might not be healthy for the people around him.

2. I think this wasn't the author intention, but I think there is an unquestionable connection between indigenous peoples and terra indigene and... it's problematic as hell, like... for a start they are cannibals, or... I guess they aren't cannibals, but they eat humans. Whatever, it is insensitive, especially since - as far as I can remember - there are no actual indigenous characters so the equation is quite effortless. (Thinking about it, I don't think there were any characters of colour, but I might not just paid enough attention. Edit: Monty, the main police character is "dark-skinned.")

The third wave of settlers had a leader who was smarter than his predecessors. He offered the Others warm blankets and lengths of cloth for clothes and interesting bits of shiny in exchange for being allowed to live in the settlement and have enough land to grow crops. The Others thought this was a fair exchange and walked off the boundaries of the land that the humans could use.

Some parts of the narratives are kind of flipped, so... it's hard to decipher sometimes, but I think I can safely say it's not handled well.
3. I fucking love Crows. Like... who cares about the vampires and werewolves, I want a story about those guys... and girls.
4. Another of the problematic things is the gender essentialism of blood prophetesses. But there is always a hope the later books will address the issue, especially since the book already asked the question of what happens with the boys?
5. You know I love my socially awkward heroes and this book delivers on entirely different level.

He leaned down, capturing her chin between thumb and forefinger in order to turn her head and get a better look. He leaned closer, breathing in the scent of her. The smell of sickness lingered on her clothes. Not sure what to do, he gave her cheek a gentle lick.

Those people have no clue how humans behave - because they aren't humans and... it's just hilarious.
6. On the theme of hilarious, when we first get introduced to Others we are said they are frightening, they kind of remind me of fae from [b:Mercedes Thompson|71811|Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1)|Patricia Briggs|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1272070347l/71811._SY75_.jpg|69530] universe, only they are not secretive about their love for eating humans at all. At the beginning they are actually kind of frightening, but as the novel progresses it turns out they are actually just a bunch of cannibalistic puppies who like to cuddle with Meg who delivers their mail. Seriously, the bad guys just walk into their land like it's nothing, I'm not saying it ends well for them, but still... they actually do some damage and they don't realise the scope of the danger at all.
7. Did I said already this is a story about mail delivery? No? Well, it is...
