to say that i’m disappointed is an understatement hsshhshs

i realllyyyyy like the first book. i read it in one sitting i think it’s nearly flawless and i was definitely eager to dive in this second book but help. 😭☝🏻 it feels like a torture to force myself to read this book. i skimmed through it for the rest of idk half of the book? i want to dnf so bad but i still give it a chance…but yeah…..hmmmm….

the title of the book is ‘the dragon’s promise’ but why??? why is the dragon part is only like 40% of the book and the rest is like idkkkk shshshshs and i don’t see any importance for the book to continue w/o the pearl issue after shiori back on the land. yes that’s the last time i think the book is okay. after shiori is back on the land it was meh. 

i want to like this book so bad…..so it’s really disappointing. so to make it better i will just pretend the book ended after seryu bid farewell to shiori (and yes the author did seryu dirty in this 😞 my boy deserves better) also…… idk why shiori is becoming more unbearable in this sec book idk idk 😭😭😭 it’s just like if you act less impulsive plus sit down and communicate everything would be less annoying 😁😁 

so yeah overall a disappointing read. but at least it ended and i can read another book now 😃☝🏻🫶🏻
