We Who Will Die review — Stacia Stark (spice level, tropes & is it worth it)

we who will die by stacia stark is the kind of romantasy that ends with you immediately googling when book two comes out.

this ending was disrespectful.

i fear i’ve found another romantasy series i’m about to become completely insufferable about.

this is book one in a new series with vampires, deadly trials, slow burn romance, morally gray men, and just enough emotional damage to make me immediately need the sequel.

is we who will die worth it?

yes.

especially if you’re chasing that feeling of finishing a book and immediately needing someone else to read it so you can scream together.

the romance is slow.

the spice is minimal.

and somehow i never cared because the story kept giving me reasons to turn the page.

i also need to admit something.

i already know who i’m rooting for.

rorrik.

obviously.

the book

spice level breakdown

spice rating: 2/5

🌶️🌶️

don’t come into this expecting nonstop spice.

there are a few scenes sprinkled throughout, but this book is much more interested in making you desperate for these characters first.

and honestly?

it worked.

it kept me tense the entire time waiting for something to happen.

tropes in we who will die

• slow burn romantasy
• vampires
• morally gray mmc
• deadly trials
• almost love triangle
• touch her and die energy

what to read after we who will die

finished we who will die and now you’re impatiently waiting for book two?

same.

if you loved the morally gray men and the slow-burn romance, read runebreaker next.

if it was the deadly trials, political tension, and impossible choices that pulled you in, pick up direbound.

and if you’re looking for another true slow burn that takes its time and makes every little moment count, daggermouth should be at the top of your tbr.

favorite quote

“I was obsessed with you for years before I left. I used to sneak into your room just to watch you breathe. I waited, each day agony as I begged the gods for you to finally admit we were meant to be together.”

fictional boyfriend material?

the real question isn’t whether you’ll fall for one of them.

it’s whether you’re team tiernon or team rorrik.

i’ve already made my decision.

final thoughts

i know i might be a little late to this one…

but i enjoyed it all the same.

if you’ve been on the fence about picking this up, i hope this gave you the little push you needed.

and if you’ve already read it…

come sit with me while we impatiently wait for book two.

want more like this? say less.

the full romance library is waiting.

morally gray men, slow burns, hockey romances, villains who should absolutely not be attractive… it’s all there.

yes.

is book two out yet?⌄

no. and i’m just as impatient as you are. after that ending, i need it immediately.

does we who will die end on a cliffhanger?⌄

yes. a very rude one. consider yourself warned before the last chapter.

not yet. it’s heading there, but right now it’s sitting right on the edge. book two is going to decide everything.

that’s the problem — there isn’t just one. tiernon, the childhood first love, or rorrik, the morally gray brother i was immediately rooting for. i’m team rorrik… for now.

how spicy is we who will die?⌄

2/5 — a few scenes, but this is mostly about the slow burn, the world, and the tension building underneath everything.
