This was an arc from Netgalley and here’s my review

Overall I would rate this 4.25 and will give it 2 peppers for spice. 

Please note that this series picks up from after the Beast Charmer series. I personally have not yet read that series so I definitely feel lost at times since the world pretty much was already built, did that stop me from really enjoying this? It did not! I picked up what was important and I understood it enough to really get into the story. 

Now let’s talk about the slow burn, and damn wasn’t that so angsty and just made you want Kost and Gauge to “JUST BE TOGETHER ALREADY?!” 

Overall I enjoyed the plot and the characters and I would recommend this series to everyone who loves How to train your Dragon or Pokemon but with a slow burn romance 😉
