It’s not perfect but it’s not aiming to be, it’s the perfect cosy read to think of something else without too much stress or high stakes. Many things were maybe too easy or convenient, but I had a good time reading this and that’s what this book aspires to do. At first I was afraid the romance would be too present but it ended up not annoying me at all.

I wasn’t always sure I’d rate this 4 stars during my reading but the ending was really something and kept me riveted to the pages !!
I guess it had a little bit too much of flirting for me to really 100% enjoy it, I definitely wouldn’t call it a romantasy either though it would be a great book for fans of romantasy wanting a little bit more fantasy than romance. Jenn Lyons crafted a really good queer-normative world with a system of rings to indicate things about one self like sexual orientation and preferences, marital status and such.
The dragons were amazing, I really loved how well they were thought of, with different powers and affinity and with the way the relationship between dragons and their riders develops.
I wish we’d see the main character use her powers more !
