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

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.

Fantasy is not a genre I normally read, but this book has made me a firm fan - my only complaint being that it's left me wanting more & I am incredibly impatient!

The way in which the author writes had me hooked from the very first paragraph...

Alongside the magical surroundings & creatures (dragons included) that are conjured up in your mind whilst reading, there is a FMC that intrigues you from the start. Raeve is badass & rebellious, with first class banter & I instantly loved her.

Not forgetting the MMC, Kaan - strong & fierce, with a huge heart & loyalty that makes you swoon!

An epic story full of intrigue, revenge & a slow burning, star crossed romance - I honestly couldn't put it down! 

*There are some TWs to look out for, listed at the start of the book, so check them out before reading!*

I felt the first half of the book had some significant pacing issues, but I was hooked in by the end!

There is so much to like about this book and just a few things I really didn’t like. Love the world. Dragons are cool. Elemental magic is cool. Weird creatures are cool. I want a parchment lark, give it. I am already ready for the next one even though I’ll forget everything that happened in this book once it’s actually out. 

I did find the FMC pretty annoying. Not enough to stop me from plowing through this but I think she could be redeemed in later books. I just found her decision making processes made me want to bang my head on a wall. Also, Moonbeam? That is by far the worst pet name. I can’t get behind it I’m sorry. For this, I can’t give a 5 star but sign me up for the next book I am in.
