The hype is real and the hype is justified.
What an excellent fantasy novel. EXCELLENT.
The characters are brilliant, the world building is done so smoothly and in a way that doesn’t overwhelm but builds such a good picture.
The romance is exceptional with brilliant chemistry and then some excellent spicy (open door) scenes.
The friendships & family in this book are so good, and the plot itself is extremely engaging, entertaining and suspenseful without being info dumpy.

I highly recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy & romance & dragons. It gave me a little bit of a divergent vibe but this is way better!

Bring on book 2!!!!!

I have so many words, but the most important are READ THIS BOOK! You want adventure? Check. Fantasy? Check. Fantastic action sequences? Check. Badass MCs? Check. Great plot with enemies-to-lovers romance? Check. Dragons with cool powers? Check. Check. Check.
This book is everything and more and one of my favorite reads of the year (and I read A LOT of books). I’ve already seen this masterpiece of a book compared to Divergent, Hunger Games, and Harry Potter. But truthfully; those series don’t give this book the justice it deserves. It is truly all it’s own and I hope it becomes a worldwide phenomenon.
