5.0

This book is probably my favorite book of the year. This was so captivating and fresh. I loved both of the characters, it made me cry, made me feel all feelings for our MCs. The books witty, and just beautifully written, the world building is slowly done (but not too slow) and doesn't feel like an info dumb, we learn with Iris and I love that.

Honestly so excited for book two December 26 isn't quick enough

Overall not a terrible book It kept me interested for the most part, I just really hate new adult books that have a protagonist that is freshly 18 years old, with men that are a few years older than her and more experience. I didn't know that when I started the book so obviously once I started reading I aged everyone up in my head a little bit more, cuz I don't care about a virginal woman per se But like this girl was essentially a feral girl and all of a sudden she's like super into this crazy dark sex shit I don't know not for me. 

But overall interesting storyline, I'm a little bummed out we don't get to actually see her bring down the church but overall it was a decent book.

I get why everyone on booktok is hyping this book up! It's a great easy read, characters are decently developed, pace is good more fast, but in a good way. The ending is holy shit I need the next book. The dragons felt more original and I loved learning about their magic system and how they choose their riders. 

Only reason it's not a 5 ⭐ is some words she choose to use, author said (for the win) a few times, and it just felt out of place in the book, and she used a few real world slang/terms that didn't vibe with me personally. 

I read using an audiobook, and unfortunately the narrator was suuuuper sick reading this book. You could hear a few times her snort boogers, or gulp them down as she was breathing (which was so wheezy cuz she was sick). It was really bad in the beginning, but got better about 60% through, but you could still tell she was sick/recovering. So don't do the audiobook unless you're ok with it 🙃🙃
