Even though it was formulaic (flawed strong woman with interesting hair and an absent mother falls for bad boy) I was compelled by the plot. World building needs work. Sex scenes are sexy. Feels like Hunger Games, Scholomance, the vampire one etc. No winning points for originality. The ending twist is fun though.
Really surprised I ended up enjoying this so much. I was a little disappointed in the end, its obviously to set up the sequel but a big reveal fell flat for me. I did feel like character development was decent, I found humor in the writing, and the spice was a good balance for me

“This is what six months of intense physical training has given me - the ability to barely climb six flights of stairs with a thirty pound pack”

BEM. Que livro.
Primeiramente quero agradecer aos meus dois amigos que literalmente me chatearam a cabeça o tempo todo desde antes dos meus exames acabarem para ler isto. Já tinha ouvido falar, mas nunca tinha tido muito interesse em ler - depois dos pleads e cries e coisas do livro que me contaram (e de me emprestarem os livros 2 e 3 para me obrigarem a ler), decidi give in.

A típica história de uma rapariga que se diferencia dos outros numa escola - mas desta vez, ela diferencia-se com uma razão, e não é uma escola qualquer. Esta história bem construída num mundo fantástico com dragões e signets, é o alívio de toda a gente farta de ler coisas com miscommunication e heroínas com “main character syndrome”, que nao são self aware delas mesmas e parece que perdem metade da inteligência em algumas situações.
“They tend to cremate anyone they find rude”
As coisas que acontecem têm de facto uma justificação e fazem sentido, e don’t get me wrong, sofri imenso, at some point já nem queria ler, e só assumi que só ficava pior pq eu pior já não podia ficar, mas não é aquela cena chata que obviamente poderia ter sido logo fixed se alguém tivesse self awareness.

Montes de personagens são loveable (outros queres que morram logo mas é sempre assim 🤷♀️), e os diferentes bonds com os dragões e dinâmicas que daí saem, para além das entre os próprios personagens são super interessantes. Na minha opinião, o mundo está bastante bem desenvolvido.
“Monitoring the sex lives of first-years was not what I had in mind when I applied to be a squad leader”
Agora deixem dar o average crash out. Muitos spoilers incoming, dps don’t say I didn’t warn you 😛

First read: Everything everyone said about this book was true. Once i read it, it was so hard to put down! From the story line, the enemies to lovers, the TWISTS oh my i loved every bit of it
Second read: I cant tell you how much I love this book, this world, the characters. I read through this book and wanted to highlight all my favorite moments and moments that made me feel something. Which is a lot!!! Still would rate it 5 stars, 10 stars if I could, but 5 stars will suffice for now :)
