Really beautiful. Book had a feeling like you’re reading an old story. A lot of drama and good characters. I like the passive aggressive male mc he’s funny. Wish I got more of dragon and agnieszka but that’s the romance in me. A very good fantasy book

A wonderful fantasy novel perfect to pick up a read. The world building folds in to the character introduction of Agnieszka, it's very organic. The pace of the story is like an inch worm where things progress very rapidly and then the resolution and Agnieszka's POV gives it a nice reflection. 

The magic system fits so well with the character development and is integrated into the world building that it doesn't ever feel like it's used as a plot device.

The supporting characters a fleshed out nicely to complement the story but you still wanna strangle a few of them (several times over).

Definitely has re-readability potential.
