Week 23 Review: Court of the Undying Seasons

From Goodreads:
Sarah J. Maas meets A Deadly Education in A.M. Strickland's lush, queer YA dark fantasy novel.

In becoming a vampire, I'm less than a girl. And more.
Or maybe I'm becoming what I always have been, deep inside.
A blade.

When nineteen-year-old Fin volunteers to take her secret love's place in their village's Finding, she is terrified. Those who are chosen at the Finding are whisked away to Castle Courtsheart, a vampire school where human students either succeed and become vampires, fail and spend the rest of their lives as human thralls...or they don't survive long enough to become either.

Fin is determined to forge a different path: learn how to kill the undead and get revenge for her mother, who was taken by the vampires years ago. But Courtsheart is as captivating as it is deadly, and Fin is quickly swept up in her new world and its inhabitants - particularly Gavron, her handsome and hostile vampire maker, whose blood is nothing short of intoxicating. As Fin begins to discover new aspects of her own identity and test her newfound powers, she stumbles across a string of murders that may be connected to a larger ritual - one with potentially lethal consequences for vampires and humans alike. Fin must uncover the truth and find the killer before she loses her life...or betrays her own heart.

Court of the Undying Seasons is a deliciously dark romantic novel and a pitch perfect modern take on classic vampire tropes.

My Review:
Oh, I loved this book so much! I loved her other books so much, and this one sounded really fantastic, I was really obsessed with the synopsis-and this book more then lived up to that! Utterly loved this so much, it was so fantastic!

Fin was an amazing character to read about! Her mom was taken by the vampires to go through this journey as well, maybe became a vampire, maybe became the food. So she has some issues with vampires. Watching her balance what she was learning with her need for revenge was so good! 

With each section of this book, we learned more, Fin gained more powers, and it got deeper and deeper into this mystery, and I couldn't get enough! I cared so much for these characters, I was rooting for them, but things were getting tense! 

That ending was just terrific! So much happened, I wasn't expecting things to go in that direction! But oh, lessons from every part of what had happened helped, and I loved watching them beat the bad guys! And the new system that they set up! I can't rave enough about how much I love this book! 

Loved this book so much, and I can't wait for whatever is next from A.M. Strickland!
