The writing style wasn't something for my liking, but that is fine. I still managed to read it - but the way the stories were told wasn't to my taste.

The start was slow in my opinion, but it picked up the pace around page 90. Up until this point I was sure I'd rate the book a 2.5-3 stars. I just didn't like to read about Akorfa and her side of the story, but my interest peaked when I reached Part 2 about Selasi. 

Selasi was much more likeable, and some of my suspicions from Akorfas POV was justified. I won't spoil it, but Akorfa made me rage. Selasis POV made this book better, and made me give Nightbloom a better rating. The ending is not very believable, but I still liked it.
