Slaying the Vampire Conqueror

I buddy read this with Destiny and Erin. Destiny and I started the Crowns of Nyaxia series last year and when we saw that this was a standalone that takes place in the same world we really wanted to read it and Erin ended up reading it with us. This review is going to be somewhat spoilery so if you are interested in reading this I would suggest skipping my review. I loved being back in this world with different characters. I loved seeing it from a different perspective. I also really loved the enemies to lovers slow burn relationship. Overall it was an enjoyable read but there were 2 things that bothered me. One being the ending. Everything was resolved way to easily. I felt Atrius was way to ok with Sylina's betrayal. Like we are told that she could feel his anger but once everything was resolved he had forgiven her already. I think there needed to be some groveling and apologizing on Sylina's part. The thing that bothered me the most though and what I just couldn't get past was how from the very beginning it's made clear that Sylina is blind and she walks around with a blindfold around her eyes all of the time but yet she can still see and is able to describe exactly what something looks like or know when someone is making a face at her or whatever. She's not seeing like someone who isn't blind but she can still see. This made the whole being blind seem kind of pointless. Also in the end she finally takes the blindfold off and oh wow she can kind of see although it's blurry and whatever she is looking at has to be really close for her to make it out. I know it has to do with the magic but for me at least it just wasn't explained very well and every time it's mentioned which is a lot by the way it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I did enjoy everything else about this book and I look forward to seeing these characters again in the Crowns of Nyaxia series at some point
