for a book with dragons in the title, there wasn’t enough of them? Feel like the book could have either been shorter or faster paced. 

Love a strong female character who defies expectations. I did enjoy the memoir style, but there was barely any suspense and I found it way too slow at times (like at 85% where I was expecting so much action, I was considering marking this as a dnf)

also why the hell would you kill Jacob off?? He was the PERFECT husband, so salty about this and I didn’t expect it at all
