I really enjoyed this book, and if you love dragons and typical romantasy tropes, you'd probably enjoy this too.
It was funny, tense, and heartbreaking all at once. The world building was really interesting and immersive. I got easily attached to some of the characters (Ridoc and Liam being my favourites...), and I have a lot of respect for Violet as a powerful and most importantly intelligent FMC. I loved that the book stressed the importance of mental strength over physical strength.
The narrative being frequently punctuated by Violet's comments on how good Xaden looked was a little disruptive to the natural flow of the story, as was the excessive amount of swearing, but I still flew through the pages and loved every second.
Would definitely recommend to romantasy fans, especially if you love dragons.
The book contains violence and sexual content.
