This series - and most of Katie MacAlister’s books - are my big guilty pleasure. Is the main love interest a huge jerk? Yes. Is the “we’re destined to be together” trope kind of problematic? Sure. (And it also appears in her Dark Ones series) But Aisling is freaking awesome, the plot is funny, the supporting characters are lovely (through out the series), and Aisling might give in to her attraction now and again, but she’s clear that the relationship (or lack of) will be on her terms. As the series continues, I feel like they both mature and make concessions quite a bit and evolve into a less problematic relationship - even when they cameo in the other dragons’ series.
This book isn’t perfect but it’s super fun, and I enjoy it as an introduction to this couple.
