One of the best books I’ve read in years. I love the world and the dragons. Even though it’s fantasy the word and concepts are explained well and in small bits. The characters are written wonderfully and admirably. You can’t help but fall in love with Violet (and Xaden - even though he disappointed me). The plot is pretty predictable (to some extend), but who doesn’t like a little bit of cliché. 

Most of all I love Rebecca’s writing style which flows in a way that hasn’t let me stop once.

That being said  - as I’m reading other reviews - I was fully aware that the book has gone viral on booktok going into reading. If I had wanted a book to challenge me and give me something different then I wouldn’t have chosen a book from a community who loves cliché, predictably and spicy love.
