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

Um, hello. What just happened? This is my first Sarah A. Parker book, and honestly — incredible. It’s super dense, information wise, and I feel like we’ve barely scraped the surface on what is going on. Like, after over 700 pages we’ve barely set the stage to what is a gigantic political twisty knot of chaos. As a character, Raeve is much of the same — she’s literally got layers to her body and past that we don’t know about. Hopefully book two will explore much of that, because while I don’t mind the occasional hints, I hope we finally get the full picture in the next book so that we can start moving forward with a solid goal. This world is super unique, and I think the concept of the dragons and what happens when they die is incredible. Kaan is a giant hunk of yum, and I look forward to more of him and Raeve.

Preferably with more cock and less manhood 🫠🥴 lmao.

A reread before the next book will absolutely be necessary as will a physical copy, because I will need to mark shit up and have easier access to the glossary.

thissmoi's review against another edition

Enjoyed the first half but the second half got so trope-y it lost me, and it was so long I didn’t want to power through. A LOT could have been edited out. Also, I am begging fantasy authors, please stop making up words purely for the sake of it. If an animal is functionally a cow, you can call it a cow. I promise it won’t take away from the world building. Or a day. Or mother and father. Or morning and evening. The story takes place across multiple years (I THINK??) but I didn’t want to keep going back to the glossary to translate words, which is the only place anything is given context, so I never had a clear sense of how much time was passing. I’m pretty sure she was hiding behind a wall for 10 hours but it also could have been 10 days. I really couldn’t tell you.

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.

Would say this is ALMOST 5 stars it was so good everything I want and need from a good romantasy read. I’m only not giving it 5 stars because it is book one I’m a series and I have to leave room for growth obviously. Read this it is absolutely worth the hype!

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!*
