This story has GREAT tension and longing with its forbidden romance.
Tropes: Politics, Forced marriage, War, Assassins, Forbidden love, Multiple cultures and Dragons.
The Dragonia people also have magic but wasn't really displayed in this book. I hope book 2 will show more of that.
What I loved the most is the tension due to the Forbidden Love and the Forced Marriage. It was really painful but oh so good. I was captivated by it.
The story is very well written with great characters. Really love Nienna, Kallius, Sythe and Greaves. Good developments and lovely immersive scenery.
I was hoping for more action and less repetitive sayings about their forbidden situation. It was a bit too slow paced for my interest.
The end? ugh I dont like a big cliffhanger especially if its only the last chapter with a drastic twist. I also believe miscommunication is a part of ending that way. And I don't like that trope much. 😅
There's a lot of promise for book 2 so I am really looking forward to it!
Overal it was a nice read with great elements that captivates you.
