4.75

Well this was not my favourite book I have ever read. But it was up there. It gets a 4.75 for mutible reasons. I mean it is about dragons, kinda. It about a dragon people and also humans and just how they work and don’t work torgether. I have an obsession with dragons to begin with so it was up there just due to that (if it was bad I would place it down of course). I enjoyed the overall story of the book. It was just really fun to read.
I also enjoy myself a strong and independent girl main caracther that is not just men men men and that allows the girl to just be strong, with no having to sacrifice her powers, or choosing to not be strong due to a man or family needing help. Let a girl be a fighter.
It is a book I can easily reread. Honestly I could probely reread it like in 2 days just to see if my opinion is still the same.

I'll keep this short and maybe flesh this out later. I enjoyed this book, I mean couldn't put it down, but that ending...I feel like I've got whiplash from the final few chapters that came and went so quickly. The story feels unfinished like there should be a sequel or a longer drawn-out ending. I'm not sure if this will make sense, but I need some closure, I feel like I didn't finish the novel, but I have.

Did a hybrid read for this one.

I liked the narrators — Irish/Scottish accents(?)

I genuinely liked the main characters. Like, there wasn’t an instance where I didn’t.

There wasn’t much world building, but the characters made up for that.

The romance was predictable but cute and organic, which I appreciated.

I loved, loved, loved  the idea of having powers directly from the moon &
being her daughter
— wasn’t expecting that tbh.

Honestly, I forgot that this was supposed to be an “origin” story on like Merlin’s ancestry — I was just so focused on everything that was happening in the castle.

Recommend — 4.5 stars

⚠️SPOILERS AHEAD⚠️

It was okay.

The ending was quite abrupt and a little too easy (not easy, but simple) for the protagonist, because somehow everything deftly- and coincidently- fell into place under the most dire circumstances (ik that’s basically all fantasy novels in a nutshell but this was just so…).

The characters didn’t have backup plan- or even a plan to begin with- to escape, let alone win. Yet it was a quick luck of the draw that led to simultaneous sequences, which eventually brought them to their very underwhelming victory. *sigh*

The plot twist was not a twist, it was a predictable and honestly boring giant obstacle. Its been done one too many times, when someone close-ish (someone who doesn’t seem like a villain or could do no wrong) turns out to be an evil mastermind in disguise pulling all the strings.

Sometimes when this scenario is written it’s enjoyable and riveting to read, because sometimes it actually is unexpected.

I can’t say that I hated Maggie (the MC) but I definitely didn’t like her. At first, I was really interested in her character and liked her personality. She had a no nonsense temperament and had zero tolerance when it came to oglers and idiots. I envied her for that, but some of her decisions were rash and stupid.

For instance, near the end there was this one scene when it was her life and plenty of others on the line, and even though she wanted to keep everyone safe, guess what…………. she provoked the guy who was juggling all of their lives in his hands by head butting his nose. *face palm* DO YOU WANT TO DIE. I know you hate his guts, but like, ENDURE GIRL, ENDURE SO SOME PEOPLE CAN LIVE. I didn’t understand the ridiculous impulse she had to aggravate him.
(to answer the question that you’re probably not even thinking, yes, the villain is a guy, that’s all I’m giving away)

Overall though, it wasn’t the worst. hehe.

3.5 stars
