Wings of Redemption by Gemma A. Summers

3.5

First of al Gemma thank you so so much that i got this ARC read of your debut novel! When reading the thropes i got really excited and honestly did not disappoint!

We step into a world of Ariana who gets beaten up by parents every day for every little thing she does and gets by a portal in a magical world out of fairytales. 

Honestly the character is very relatable and naive at first to finally getting the love and affection she had always wanted. I honestly could not blame her at all but i just saw the red flags already from the beginning and kept screaming no so badly😂 

There are plots i didn't see coming and some i did but that made me love this book a lot and ughhh the dragons i love the dragons so damn much! Funny, motherly and sarcastic/serious kind of bonded dragons are the most fun dragons and it really added to the story on finding herself. I really can't wait for the next book! I was screaming so hard when he asked her who hurt you. I just had to stop reading and scream in my pillow you have no idea how much i love that especially after how he was when we first met him. Such a sucker for that honestly

However yes i know i gave it a 3.5 stars and that is because i really got overwhelmed with the amounts of detailing there was given in the world building. Yes i absolutely love details but sometimes it got a little too much. And the sister love, i didn't get it out of personal experience. It wasn't in my eyes realistic and maybe that is because i have experienced it different but you can not tell me there was not atleast some jealousy and hate towards the perfect sister who did everything right and had a great life wile the fmc got beaten up🙈

Yet i really enjoyed this book and i had a part of crying. the end still has me staring at the wall (im an emotional mess send help and i know there will be a second book in this series and i can't wait to be able to read that!
