While beautifully illustrated the story didn’t bring to much to the table for me. I didn’t feel connected to the characters and throughout I was only continuing for the illustrations.

I do think the story could be really good for some people, I just wasn’t who this was written for. I do think the art style is spectacular and even though I didn’t enjoy the story the illustrations left me in awe.

…. Immediately after finishing I am at a lost for words. I kept seeing spoilers and all the fan theory’s so I knew how it ended was just curious as to how we got there. And I don’t feel mad at the journey. I am less mad at the end of this than iron flame which is nice because that one left me not wanting to read more but lol here I am now craving the next one ><

I think my favorite parts of the series is the personalities of the dragons and when we get to see some other perspectives and see how other riders talk to their dragons ~ I really enjoyed and appreciated that! Also the combat was one of my favorite parts of the first book and I got a lot of the same feelings reading this.

The reason I am not giving it 5 ⭐️ is cause I felt less inclined to read this one and the beginning was harder to get through, but I am excited for another book so : )

4.25

This was so freaking fun to read. It was a little dark but in such a light way that I wasn’t bothered or left in distress. I had such a great time seeing all these different perspectives not knowing how they were connected and slowly getting piece by piece bringing them all together! I don’t know if I could have guessed the ending at any point of this maybe if I was actively trying but just being along for the journey I didn’t see it coming. If this was made into a show or a movie I think it would do really well, with vibes of “what we do in the shadows” I would probably binge it ><

I would definitely recommend if the synopsis sounds interesting!!

I wasn’t too sure about this at first, but wow, it ended up being so good. I finished it a few hours ago, and now I just feel empty and desperately need more—good thing I already have the next one ready to go, haha!

At the start, the characters really annoyed me, but they definitely grew on me as the story went on. The combat training scenes and the dragon imagery were absolutely incredible. And the ending was an insane twist I wasn’t expecting and I can’t wait to pick the next one ><

This is well worth the hype!

This was almost a 3 but the ending really really ruined it for me. Over all though it felt kinda meh, I didn’t really find anything that stood out for me. Like it started with so much potential but the plot felt rushed and nothing I cared to much about.

One day I will learn just because there are witches / magic doesn’t mean I will enjoy the story 😔 until then I will take any book that has even a hint of witch like characters 0.o ~ this is me begging for witchy recs ><

I probably wouldn’t recommend this, but if you like cheesy smut with not to thrilling plot maybe give it a try ><
