This hooked me from start to finish. It is so well written with each page adding to the story. There are so many different turns... I sobbed! I knew something was coming at the end but could never have predicted it. Honestly, I can't wait to get into the next one.

This book is an absolute romp. The twists and turns in the plot kept me engaged, the battles are visceral and cinematic, the emotional arc just insane. Characters get growth and development! Even side characters!

I don't think this particular style of thriller-romantasy could ever be done better. The contemporary/modern style of prose and speech is a bit jarring at times, but to the author's credit it means that expression never gets in the way of telling the story and helps her cut to the core of the feeling/emotion she's trying to convey.

And the ending. I didn't see it coming, but when you look at the clues that have been planted throughout, it makes sense.

Looking forward to the next book!

I didn’t want to buy into the hype, but this was a really fun read. It had all the familiar tropes of the genre yet still felt fresh and exciting. The dragons were especially cool, and while the romance didn’t fully capture my interest, I was completely hooked on the plot. It made the perfect companion for a 13-hour flight, and I can’t wait to dive into book two!
