This book fully lived up to the hype for me. Honestly, I was extremely nervous going into it because everyone loves it so much. If it weren't for the fact my best friend read it and absolutely adored it, I probably would have put it off for longer. But I put my trust in her opinion, especially since we have kind of similar reading tastes and I put this one on hold at my library (despite being able to get it on Scribd, I decided I wanted to have that timeline).
This book had me in a CHOKEHOLD. I'm so glad that I was able to message Donna literally SCREAMING about this dang book. I was sucked straight into it and just was not let go.
I will say that if you're looking for something that's going to have flowery writing or super poetic, this is NOT going to be it. While, yes, it has some great quotes, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.
The spice was there for me though. I LIVE for tension. The sex scenes themselves were a bit over the top, but I also was LOVING every second of it. While I feel these two series are very different in many ways, I honestly felt like this brought me back to my ACOTAR days. The feelings that I felt for this book were very similar to how I was when I read ACOTAR for the first time.
I would LOVE to reread this book as a Graphic Audio, though. I feel that would be such a wonderful experience and I'm honestly writing this review without knowing if there is one or not. But I'll have to look and find out. If there isn't one, there should be.
All I can say for this one is DRAGONS. Check content warnings here on StoryGraph before going in, but DRAGONS.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Ableism, Body horror, Death, Sexual content, Violence, Blood, Toxic friendship, and War
Moderate: Death of parent
I just want to say, in relation to the death of parent, it is mentioned A LOT throughout the book, but it's not on page and some time has passed. That doesn't diminish the pain from it, but I put it into moderate because, comparing it to the other warnings I listed in graphic, it felt more moderate. Check other people's as well, though, because I know I'm missing some.
