Wooo! I ended 2021 beginning this novel and started it, by finishing it. I cannot tell you how much I adore this book. From the dragons to the romance and all the crazy stuff in-between. This story takes you on a roller coaster from day one. Although at times, the story does drag and starts slowly. But when I found a chapter interesting, I couldn't put it down. It had me sitting on the edge of my seat till 3 in the morning, trying to read as much as I could. By the end of the story, I realized why so many people praise this book and I can assure you that it's worth it. If it's been sitting on your tbr, take the plunge and read it.
