Oh, this was a whole journey.

I knew from the beginning that I was not exactly the target audience. I was here all for the fantasy, not the romance in the slightest, along with being an asexual lesbian. But despite some of my eye rolls, I found myself absolutely hooked by the adventure this book took me on in the rest of it's plot. The action was enthralling, the dragons exhilarating, and overall this book felt so ALIVE. Good luck to the upcoming TV adaptation in trying to top how stunningly vivid this book played out for me in my mind.

If you are a fantasy lover as apprehensive about the YA-energy as I was, I recommend you give it a shot. It really, REALLY picks up.
