This one took me up until about the halfway point to really be invested in but it was well worth it. I immediately downloaded the next in the series upon finishing it. My jaw was on the ground from the last few chapters. And 10/10 for disability representation in fantasy!

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.
