This novel is somewhat promising, but you should really completely cut out the sleeping/bathing/eating/dining scenes that aren’t relevant to the actual plot (which is still not quite precise at this point of the story) and get the story more action-oriented. Mauve should try to find some ways to be useful in her new home and to find some sense of purpose in her life. She and Jael ought to have actual conversations and get to know each other. It’d also be interesting to know more about the vampires, their origins, their history, the politics with the humans…
