Thanks to NetGalley and Yggdrasil press for providing the arc in exchange for an non biased review.
This book gets promoted for fans from fast and the furious, fourth wing and Sarah j. Maas. So as I started I imagined Dwayne “the rock” Johnson riding a dragon while drifting through Seattle. The book feels very fast paced and touches multiple subjects that are important in the modern world like sexuality, racism and finding out where you belong. But because of the fast pacing it felt a bit rushed and thus so making the writing feel easy/sloppy/juvenile at times.
I realized as I was reading this that I’m just not a really big fan of fantasy stories that play out in the modern world. It makes them at least in this case feel a bit awkward.
The dialogue that was supposed to be banter didn’t really resonate with me. I think if I was a 15 year old boy it would have matched better.
I mean I really contemplated dnf’ing when the mmc was talking about girly shit to clean up with after having seks with his love interest.
