The prose was absolutely brilliant. Vibrant world. Perfect MMC. The book has a glossary and it was so helpful when I wanted to search something on my kindle. The only thing I wish was that there was another chapter to end the book of Kaans POV. Also the spice was spicin

Um, hello. What just happened? This is my first Sarah A. Parker book, and honestly — incredible. It’s super dense, information wise, and I feel like we’ve barely scraped the surface on what is going on. Like, after over 700 pages we’ve barely set the stage to what is a gigantic political twisty knot of chaos. As a character, Raeve is much of the same — she’s literally got layers to her body and past that we don’t know about. Hopefully book two will explore much of that, because while I don’t mind the occasional hints, I hope we finally get the full picture in the next book so that we can start moving forward with a solid goal. This world is super unique, and I think the concept of the dragons and what happens when they die is incredible. Kaan is a giant hunk of yum, and I look forward to more of him and Raeve.

Preferably with more cock and less manhood 🫠🥴 lmao.

A reread before the next book will absolutely be necessary as will a physical copy, because I will need to mark shit up and have easier access to the glossary.

4.25 stars. Now this is some adult, high romantasy. You know the book will be tough when it starts with a 7-page glossary explaining who all the characters are, what all the creatures are, and all the places. That being said, it was hard to follow but simultaneously very immersive since it was not like any other world I have "been" in. I see why people are complaining about the high fantasy language immediately being followed up with by the FMC saying fuck or telling a POS that they have a micropenis, but hey, it worked for me. I will pick up the second one, but I might have to skim this again to remember all that went on since I know this book was almost entirely setting up the plot for the next book. 

*** the animal cruelty TW is for a fictional dragonlike character that is abused but does not die.

I loved this book, however to put it simply it was a lot of drawn out and I understand nothing of what is actually going on. Which makes me want book to like yesterday. I cannot wait to see where she takes the story next.
