Read this Fantasy Romance if you like;
• Fated Mates
• Found Family
• Magic and Dragons!
The plot is intriguing with great writing style which makes it easier to envision some action scenes. It also comes with fascinating magic system and loveable characters.
The story is told in multiple POVs and it wasn’t confusing to follow since each characters has their own unique personality so it was easy to differentiate them.
Kai (FMC) feels relatable, while some of her decisions feel annoying but I think I’ll probably do the same if I ever were in her position.
Rhys (MMC) seems a bit distant at first but I like how he gave Kai some space and didn’t force her to do anything. I would like to see more of them together in the next book!
Secondary characters are also well developed, I really like Juli and Ashem!
I really like the found family aspect that Kai founds within Rhys’s dragon circle (vee), they welcome her and also introduce her to the world of dragon.
I hope the next book will explore more about dragons, the war and where they live.
Overall, this is a great introduction for a new fantasy romance series. It has the potential to be a great series with all the great elements inside.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the second book because the ending is quite heart-breaking and I need to know what happens next!
Thank you to Book of Matches Media and author for giving me a copy of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
