Couldn't put it down. There are definitely similarities to other series out there, but I enjoyed the writing style and plot development immensely.

My initial thoughts were this story is Divergent but with dragons, then it shifted into a My Hero Academia vibe, but it's also totally it's own story. Loved it.

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!

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!

I ate this book up! It was so fun, I love all the characters. The only thing I didn’t totally enjoy was the smut… but that is not the books fault! I just personally don’t enjoy smut. I prefer pining. 
I think the book did a good job letting you figure things just before the character does. So you feel smart, but also don’t feel frustrated at the character for being slow to figure things out. 
And of course, who doesn’t love dragons?

Super fun fantasy/romance read! I'm excited for book two. If you're into the genre this is a great one, well written and a fun world with spice but also a genuinely good story - and DRAGONS, of course!
