I know this is a romantasy, but I wanted more dragons and less relationship drama and sex. The angst and sex is reeeeally over the top. I started skipping it about halfway through. I’ll likely read the next book when it’s released, but by the end of this book the story was losing me. 

Dragons - 5 stars
Plot - 3 stars
Characters - 2.5 stars
Sexual Endurance - 5 star but staaaawp already

As long as this one was compared to Fourth Wing, I felt the length was a bit much compared to the meat we actually got. Did I like it, yes. But there's some things in there I could've done with out. But I also understood what we needed to get out of this book as well, to help set up what is to come. And I enjoyed the hell out of it.

Things I could do without - Violet's wishy/washy "I'm made, I'm not mad, he's gorgeous and I hate him"-ness. ...and that is it. That's all. I was annoyed by that and only that.

Oh my. That was so much better than I expected. I’m reeling and lost for words to describe my thoughts.  I def recommend it. 

There are some flaws in the writing and plot that I’d want to change/edit which is why I had a hard choice between 5* 4.5* and  opted for  4.75* because it doesn’t meet my fierce criteria for perfect five stars. But I loved this and planned to reread it more than once so I figure those flaws aren’t material.  

I spotted some of the plot twists but not others. I am grateful somethings were elusive. There are clues. And some twists too too long to be spotted by our main characters.
