Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun by Hadley Thorne – Review by Maisie Dickinson

Dawnbreaker: The House of Blood and Sun by Hadley Thorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The story follows Niamh el Ri’ili, Princess of the Emerald City Under The Mound, and Connor O’Brien, a vampire full of hatred and rage until he meets her. They meet through family friends, get to know each other through their shared love of music, and fall in love through the trials and tribulations they face back in the Emerald City. My favourite character is Niamh el Ri’ili because she is strong, independent, powerful, knows what she wants, and my least favourite character was, while perfectly written, Queen Desdemona because she is greedy, selfish, condescending, overruling. I recommend this book because it’s a type of love story I haven’t read before, it celebrates Irish culture, and it explores Irish folklore which was interesting to learn about. I would love to read more from Hadley Thorne. ‘It was clear to him from the moment he first saw her that she was his.’
