A fun read! It wasn’t exceptional in any way but it kept the pace, entertained & allowed the reader to fall into the story enough to be enjoyable!

A lot of the themes/tropes were very typical of the type of fantasy romance books currently on the market. I found myself predicting several of the plot points - but surprisingly that didn’t take away from my enjoyment factor which I consider most important.

Not too thought provoking and a little too focused on the explicit side of the story, as well as Violet going in circles too often; but I found myself attached to the dragons, and side characters regardless!

An easy entertaining read! I devoured this book in 3 days and I’m a full time grad student. Such a nice break from academic reading! Would definitely suggest picking up this book if you want something that will take you on an adventure!

I loved the storyline and characters. I'm incredibly invested to see where the story goes and to see how the characters' relationships evolve throughout the series. However, the scenes describing how hot Xaden is (i.e. "HOLY FUCKING HOT") and the nickname moaning was really... weird...especially for adults. It struck me as trying too hard to be "relatable", and at times I wondered if the romantic scenes were written by someone who only knows about sex from fanfiction because of how the characters interacted (the conversations made me cringe) and how "perfect" each scene was.
