Man, this book could have been so good. It had a lot of good parts: casual (non-tokenizing) queer and disability representation, dragons and powers, political intrigue and a government conspiracy, fascinating world building with a hidden history, and all that stuff was skimmed over bc the main character was so horny she couldn't think about anything else. I found most of the characters kind of one dimensional and tropey too, and the storyline was fairly predictable, but I could have overlooked that if the book wasn't like 40% sexual tension and then straight up porn. Not that I'm anti smut, I was just really interested in the plot and I feel like I barely got any of it.
