I was a little put off by the Divergent vibes I got from this book, but with dragons, cursing and sex. Aside from that, this book was really hard to put down (meaning I did not put it down until I finished it). That being said: I am unsure as to the quality of this book. The enemies to lovers slow burn was definitely hot (which I think most of the hype is focussed on), but I am honestly not sure about the quality beyond the 'hotness' of this book. My gut says the book isn't that great, once the tension is taken out of the equation. But, on the other hand, at this point I've read the book three times within the scope of five months. And when taking into consideration that I haven't really been reading a lot of novels, as I was too distracted and just read a lot of comics... It probably says something that it is still exciting to read, even the third time.
Nevertheless, immediately purchased the novel and obviously buying the sequel as well. So I guess Rebecca Yarros and Instagram/Tiktok got me in the end.
