We loveeeeee Rhysand. I literally was waiting for her to switch it up.

10/10 for the plot twist but omg she leaves so much of the world building up to the reader. Like it wouldn’t hurt you to describe this crazy world a little more.

This book came straight out of wattpad. The main character was a bit annoying how she constanting is going on the same monolouge about her past and the male lead is literally too perfect that it ruins his character a bit. Plus the plot Regarding the

heist and saving the dragons

was a very small portion of the book which, I think, had so much potential to the character development and plot development.

The book starts really slow and is mostly about forming peices of a giant puzzle. Things are definitely coming together really well and you can really see the authors talent shining with this book.
