4.5
4.5: great read. The plot points sometimes didn’t make sense or seem to add to the overarching story and I wish there was a tiny more focus on their relationship. Will read next book.

I just read 700 pages of set up. It’s confusing as hell pretty much until the end when you get hit in the face with some more info dump that will shake you to your core. With all of this said, it was so damn good. The world building is some of the best I’ve read. The writing style is so deliberate and well thought out. It’s slow and not a lot happens but it’s still an amazing read. I can not wait until the story starts getting momentum. It will be glorious if the info dump book was this amazing! Definitely looking forward to book 2.

Worldbuilding: 5
· Everything from the dragons to the physical world, to the magic system, to the different cultures, to the languages, felt incredibly thought through. It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into worldbuilding, giving the book a real high-fantasy feel that I truly loved.
Plot: 4.8
· Not really a traditional plot structure in the book with introduction-climax-resolution, seeming as nothing really got resolved during this book.
· However, there was a lot of set up for future books, which made me very excited. Its clear there is a much bigger story at play.
· (All the retroactively revealing her backstory as she remembers it is also *chefs kiss*)
Romance: 5
· Love me a good I love you but I wont allow myself to love you because ✨trauma✨. I was kicking my feet and blushing at all times with their chemistry and the devotion Kaan showed for her at all times (which is truly what makes a man sexy)
Spice: 4
· Rating based on quantity since there is only one major sex scene (Which I thouroughly enjoyed, as it felt like it enhanced the plot rather than being the plot).
· HOWEVER, quality definetly a 5. I was sweating each time this man spoke to her
Characters: 4
· Felt some characters were a bit underdeveloped, but i assume this is because they will get their moment to shine in future books. I loved Kaan, nothing better than a truly devoted man. Raeve is super badass and strong, although she does not know how to cope in healthy ways. Other characters... can't say much about them since, as I just said, not much development.
Overall, amazing book. CANNOT wait till the next one comes out. It is an immediate buy for me.
