This book had me conflicted. I almost DNF'd during the beginning because the writing wasn't great, but I kept going after some urging from a friend who had already finished it. The narrations and dialogue felt a bit forced and childish, which wasn't a good look for a book with so many sex scenes. The main character was supposed to be 20, but I wouldn't have been surprised if she was 14 with the way she acted. And don't get me started on the way everyone couldn't stop mentioning how weak and petite the MC was (
which of course didn't stop her from bonding not only the biggest dragon that everyone wanted, but an unheard of second dragon that's not supposed to bond anyone
)  Now all that being said, once I was halfway through I became pretty engrossed and finished the book in one day. The story and worldbuilding are pretty inventive and make for an interesting read, but the characters make it rough to get into. If you can get past that though, you'll probably like it.
