The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

dark emotional

Wow that was really good. Like I ate that up. Absolutely delectable.

I’m pretty sure the main characters and their culture are meant to be Romani so the g slur is used against them a lot. Just thought I’d mention it if anyone’s sensitive to that so you know what to expect.

The ending was a bit… I don’t even know how to describe it. Forced?

I didn’t know this was a sort of fairytale retelling when I went into it and I’m not familiar with the story it’s retelling so the ending just seemed like it was supposed to end like that and not like that’s how it ends. It wasn’t the most natural ending for the characters.

The book felt a bit harried amateurish at times, but I like books with unrepentant vampires, so that raised my review.
