i loved this book!!! didn't know what to expected when i picked up but it surprise in the best way.
Katla is the funny, a little grumpy, warrior at heart set on her mission to save her village and make a name for herself; the LI is this big grouchy dragon shifter who have a sweet side, and the two together were wonderful. the banter was great, i loved both of them naming all things and beings, and calling each other "idiot" in a lovingly way, and Joy was the cutest omg. oh, and we get nonbinary rep wich was great.
if you looking for a sweet, sometimes fast paced with a little bit of angst fantasy romance this one is for you. the magic system was very interesting and i thought the worldbuilding was good.
a couple of things though:
- i like my fantasy romance with smut and sexy scenes so i wanted more. on the flip side, i understand that this was not that kinda story so the lack of explicit scenes didn't detract from my overall enjoyment .
- i think this story would've benefit from being a duology. look i stand on the hill defending the need for more fantasy single books but this one had such a great wordbuilding and plot that i would like to be in it a little bit more. the third part of this book felt rushed because of this.
anyway, Eivindr really desserved his HEA - my poor baby needs protection at all costs <3 and i'm excited to dive into Ophelia's catalog.
