I would like to reiterate that a 2 star rating means that the book was okay. Not bad. 
 This reminder is partially for myself because I always feel awful giving 2 star reviews, but the thing is for me this book was just okay. 
 I managed to stay engaged when I was reading it but completely forgot about it in the times between. 
 There was nothing new here for me, nothing that made this book stand out and that will cause it to linger in my mind. In fact, I've already forgotten half of it. 
 The characters were a bit flat. We get told how fierce Arianna is, but she never shows us that she is. Braith is still a bit of an enigma but he became the same old trope we have seen in many a fantasy romance before - cruel/indifferent immortal man who meets the one woman who can make him care. Changed forever. 
 The one thing I quite enjoyed was the setting - a world where vampires have won the war and humans have submitted as slaves. Except for a group of rebels standing strong. 
 But not much was done with it. 
 Anyway, not a bad book. I didn't struggle to get through it.
