I don't know what's going on with my reading lately besides Mary Balogh, because I don't know how to rate this one. But in the author's defense I didn't realize this had an Alpha/Omegaverse, so I think if I had known that beforehand I would have reacted differently.

The most unimpressive love scene ever:
Spoiler
Isavelle: The building is on fire, maybe we should move?
Zabriel: I love the scent of fire; I AM fire. I'm a dragon rider. I won't let it harm you.
*roof collapses*
Zabriel: I'm so sorry!! Are you hurt?
I think I need a break from Kindle Unlimited.

 It's an omegaverse fantasy with dragon riders, a lost king returning after 500 years sleeping under a mountain, fated mates, properly eeeevil villains, and a steep cliffhanger. Engaging and fun with likable characters and only a few small quibbles. The alternating first person POVs doesn't quite work for me in a high fantasy setting. I look forward to the next volume (in which I hope someone dick punches a certain villain.)

Sooooo good. Cannot wait to read the next one.  Has all the best tropes 
-touch her and die
-fated mates
-size difference

This is one of the few omegaverse books I've liked because he is so sweet and gentle with her. All caring and nurturing. I will a thousand percent reread. Gave me all the feels.

Nooooo! What a cliffhanger ending! I can’t believe I have to wait until 2024 to read the next one! This book was amazing.
