I listened to this book first and foremost. It might have better to physically read this. I felt a bit lost up until half way through. I do want to mention I loved the world that this book took place in. It would make for a cinematic movie. The way the dragons were explained and the world building was good. 

The main character was driving me insane for most of the book. 😞 
There was no growth and her anger seemed so unhinged at times. Like she’s smart and powerful but her smart remarks were not thought out well. A lot of repetitive usage of words. It all seemed rushed when it came to the writing. The use of the word fuck seemed so out of place BUT maybe it’s because I listened to the book. 🤷🏼‍♀️ idk. The main male character was cool but I felt so bad for him.  I would read the next book when it comes out because I want to know how this war and all the secrets play out.

This book took me on a journey. Around the middle when Raeve escaped Kaan and fell into the river, I thought that section was a lot - too much happened in such a short time, kind of gave me whiplash. Overall this book was great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

I cried so many times, two of those times I had to put the book down. Crying so hard I couldn't continue.

Wow. Such a beautiful writing style, and a sad tale.

Wow! This book was just amazing! I fell in love with everything about this story and these characters. I think Raeve might be my favourite FMC ever now. And Kaan…well Kaan is just the most 🖤🖤🖤 man ever! I can’t wait to see where this will all go with the next installment!

Excellent voice acting. Especially for the character "The Other". *chef's kiss. It's such a cool and unique fantasy world. Love the world building.

3.0

3.5 stars 🌟 This was a solid beginning to a new series. I really liked the world and felt like it was unique, something I havent read before! However, I wished there was more yearning and pining. For some reason I couldn't really obsessed over the romance which was a disappointment. However, I really like all the other characters we are introduced too and I can tell there is a lot of promise for the next book. I'm excited to see how the story unfolds and will definitely pick up the sequel.

I did not like the chapters where the main character partakes in trials with a tribe in the burn. It felt in poor taste the way they spoke and were protrayed. Also there is a big intentional miscommunication trope/hiding information and it irked me to no end. It lasted the whole book! I know there were reasons for the lack of communication but those reasons didnt work for me the way they were written. It felt like the main character was being childish and avoiding a past she supposedly didnt remember. It got under my skin a lot. The ending still redeemed it for me but it definitely was something that was hard for me to get past.
