I am utterly obsessed with this book, I haven’t had a fantasy obsession like this since I reread Harry Potter as an adult. 
I listened to this book in 3 days, I loved the way the story builds and the slow burn romance. The dragons were more than just side creatures, and full interesting characters. 
This book made me excited to get back into fantasy this year.

I picked up this book because it was at the top of the Amazon epic fantasy bestseller list. That was a mistake. It’s fantasy romance which is not what I was looking for. I’m not denigrating the genre; it’s just not my thing.

As an epic fantasy—which is how I’ll grade this as it’s how I found it—this book is lacking in character depth and world building. There’s only two or three characters that feel like real people and they’re in a lust triangle and everything in the world feels entirely too convenient.

There are also some odd stylistic choices like having everyone speak in modern vernacular which was a bit off putting.
