Sooo.
I'm kinda sad I only listened to this as entertaining while sick in bed.

After I had it on my wishlist for a long time and almost accidentaly ordered it twice based of an arc Review AND a coworker saying this is close to dethroning ToG for her, I was so excited for this.

And in the beginning I thought this was gonna be a year-highlight.

Don't get me wrong, I loved it!!
But in the end, there was some emotional connection missing for me. This could be entirely based on my state of mind atm, so I am really excited to read the next book(s) and will recommend this to anyone who'll listen.

I listened to this book first and foremost. It might have better to physically read this. I felt a bit lost up until half way through. I do want to mention I loved the world that this book took place in. It would make for a cinematic movie. The way the dragons were explained and the world building was good. 

The main character was driving me insane for most of the book. 😞 
There was no growth and her anger seemed so unhinged at times. Like she’s smart and powerful but her smart remarks were not thought out well. A lot of repetitive usage of words. It all seemed rushed when it came to the writing. The use of the word fuck seemed so out of place BUT maybe it’s because I listened to the book. 🤷🏼‍♀️ idk. The main male character was cool but I felt so bad for him.  I would read the next book when it comes out because I want to know how this war and all the secrets play out.

This book took me on a journey. Around the middle when Raeve escaped Kaan and fell into the river, I thought that section was a lot - too much happened in such a short time, kind of gave me whiplash. Overall this book was great and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

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.

I heard a lot of hype for this book but tried my best to come into it blind. It did definitely take some time to get into it but once I did it was definitely worth the read.

Wow! This book was just amazing! I fell in love with everything about this story and these characters. I think Raeve might be my favourite FMC ever now. And Kaan…well Kaan is just the most 🖤🖤🖤 man ever! I can’t wait to see where this will all go with the next installment!

Excellent voice acting. Especially for the character "The Other". *chef's kiss. It's such a cool and unique fantasy world. Love the world building.
