The author did not make cohesive connections. 

The beginning was written in a poetic prose/ waxed lyrical…. Some plot holes were not yet addressed in book 1.

The audio book gave more clarity through the male/female character voices. But had One not listened to the audio, there might have been some confusion. 

The end of the book randomly began to swap from 4 different perspectives. 

This is not a light read. Takes some concentration.

Absolutely beautiful story. I'm in love with the world full of different people and living conditions. Such a unique magical system. And the dragons ♥️. 
This was exactly what I needed. I got lost in the story and this beautiful world. I fell in love with these characters and my heart broke over and over . 
I can't wait to see where the story will lead us . It's definitely a must read!

The romance plot got very competitive and the story slowed down too much in the middle for this to get 5 stars.

This book really sucked me in for many hundreds of pages and I wish the next one was out already. A slow start and some very slow world building but the characters are strong and the tension is well done.
