Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.

Thank you NetGalley and Wednesday Books for giving me early access to this book! All opinions are my own.

I really, really wanted to like this. Vampires and bad ass women in historical times? It sounds like a match made in heaven. But, unfortunately the execution just wasn’t there. The dialogue felt like it was trying to be historically accurate, but then there would be modern terms thrown in that didn’t mesh well at all. When I got to the time jumps, the story felt so jumpy I couldn’t figure out what in the world was happening. Finally at 32% I decided this just wasn’t for me and I DNFed it. I think this had a lot of potential, and the general premise was amazing, but the follow through just fell flat.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Graphics for giving me early access to this book! All opinions are my own.

I grew up reading the Tamora Pierce books. This is such a wonderful addition to her world! I think it’ll make her books so much more accessible to younger kids, and I loved the art style. I cannot wait to see other graphic novels of her stories!
