this is a tiktok romantasy book. if you like turning off your brain and reading, you’ll like this. the romance was predictable but fun, but it was the lack of worldbuilding and dragons that got to me. like, you’re telling me she has smut books and leggings but catapults are new? and how did aestilian actually come to be? and also why did we never get cayden backstory? i’m sure it’s being saved for a sequel but i’m just disappointed bc it felt like we were just supposed to go oh he’s Traumatized so he Understands Her. the writing was somewhat clunky, but again, enjoyable when i turned my brain off. like don’t get me wrong - this was a fun read. also where were the dragons though :( i was disappointed by how little we actually  saw of them. if you’d like to see a more detailed and less stream-of-consciousness review, follow me on instagram @malarkeytbr !
