4.06 AVERAGE


first of all, the bond that burns sounds like a code name for a uti. & i think i’d rather suffer through an unmedicated uti than continue this series.

Where do I even start??? I was not expecting things to go down like they did — I am SHOOKETH

UGHHHHH THE ENDING I am fully in a book hangover.

Instant 5 stars simply for causing the pterodactyl like screech produced when I finished the book - very much a "thanks, I hate it" moment!!!

Honestly everything steps up in book 2 - the TENSION between Medra and Blake is just delicious - they are perhaps the first book romance where I am really properly enjoying them being enemies because it's just so much fun!!!

WE HAVE DRAGON - my soul is never happier when there are dragon companions or grumpy/sassy sidekicks so Nyxaris brings me an untold amount of joy

I DEVOURED The Bond That Burns — it's so good and I couldn't put it down! Easy 5 ⭐

From the very first page, the dark, dangerous world of Bloodwing Academy completely pulled me right back in.

The stakes are higher than ever in this sequel, and the tension just doesn’t let up.
Waking a dragon was just the beginning. The protagonist is now caught in a whirlwind of power plays, all while trying to navigate her own terrifying connection to this mythical, fire-breathing creature. The world-building is next level—so rich, unique, and detailed that I felt like I was right there in the middle of it all.

Also, Blake Drakharrow is the ultimate morally gray love interest with serious Draco Malfoy vibes. He’s infuriating, magnetic, and impossible not to love. The slow-burn tension between him and the protagonist is so good. Every bit of banter, every stolen moment—ugh, it’s perfection.
