I really liked the book, but it definitely has excessive cursing in it. There is also some pages some people might like to skip.

This was amazing. I read and listened to this book at the same time and oh my god did the audio have so much emotion. Rebecca is an amazing author. I cried and yelled reading some parts of this book. This is the first real book I’ve read since being an AO3 reader and this was the best coming back experience I could’ve asked for. The twists in this book are amazing. this characters are written beautifully. I just finished the book and I already wish I could read it for the first time again. I can’t wait to read Iron Flame.

If you want to read an amazingly built world with multidimensional characters, I highly recommend Brandon Sanderson, especially the Stormlight Archive series. 

This book was fun but I enjoyed it the same way I enjoyed Sharknado. I can see why some less experienced readers would love it too. It was written so that young female readers will identify themselves with the "not like other girls" protagonist and if that's your cup of tea, go for it. It has cool fight scenes, Mexican novel levels of drama, and smutty scenes worthy of AO3. It's a light read and made me laugh with all the cringy dialogue and obvious plot twists. I'm giving it 4 stars because it fulfilled my need for a popcorn book.

I’m a sucker for a dystopian, fuck corrupt government, the bad guys might be the good guys story and this one is no exception. Toss in some spice, some romance, some high fantasy and fucking dragons? I’m hooked. Holy moly.

A fantastic start to the series. The dragons are just as lovable as the main characters.
