I just happened across this book on Kindle Unlimited and I am glad I did.  This book has an interesting world of dragons, magic, other worldly creatures, revenge, and a dose of remembering one’s self. When I first started the book I was a little confused by some of the names for things and what was going on, and how does a brooding king fall into this.* I definitely recommend referencing the first few pages of the book that tells you what/who everything is. It will help you understand better when first starting out in the story.* Once I got a little further into the story it started making more sense as to where all the pieces that I read in the summary fit in.  I would say the story starts out at a fast-ish pace. It opens with Raeve going in undercover for her “job” and snowballs into her being put on trial for death all within the first few chapters. After that the story slows down ever slightly. 
Raeve’s character was an interesting one. She is shown first as someone that would cut you and not think twice about it, but later showed that she does have some of a soft side. I’m very curious about what happened in her past. We are shown glimpse but never told the whole thing of all the terror she endured. The glimpses are just enough to tease you and have you asking for more. 
Kaan was an okay character for me. I know he is suppose to be the male character everyone fawns over, but I was just left with indifference. I wanted more stern, combative personality to him rather than the soft side that was shown. He does have a fierce side to him that we see when he has to be political and comes to protecting his domain, but I would have liked for more “enemy-to-lover” personality I guess with him.
