I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the sequel. As someone with EDS I was very excited to read a book with a protagonist who has EDS written by an author who has it as well. I thought the story was entertaining and I enjoyed immersing myself into the world. That being said, I agree with others who have said that at times it feels very YA, it’s full of predictable tropes, and that there are some plot holes. Was it a literary masterpiece? No. However, I would still recommend this book to people who are looking for a fantasy novel with some smut sprinkled in, and don’t mind and/or enjoy YA as well.

I rooted for Violet and Xaiden the whole time.

The sex scenes weren't bad either. I could see their love.

It was a straight-up page-turner. Yarros now has me hooked on enemies-to-lovers romantasies with dragons.

Wowowowow hunger games x divergent x game of thrones + steamy slow burn romance
I was laughing, squealing, swooning, gasping, and on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE TIME. The second I finished, I wished I could rewind my life a week to experience reading it for the first time again. The writing isn’t exceptional, but the story more than makes up for that in my opinion. 
It was so special to read a book with a bad-ass disabled character (I have a connective tissue disorder like Violet). And I think her disability makes the story so much more interesting, complex, and relatable than all the other dystopian-type novels with women main characters who are physically strong and clearly capable from the start. 
Also, the romantic plot line is WOW. I wasn’t expecting it to get so sexually explicit, but I’m def not mad about it lol — just a heads up in case you aren’t into that.
