This was so enjoyable!! From the first chapter I was locked in and enjoying the ride. It was funny, lovable, questionable, and twisty! Some moments around the 60% mark dragged, but adjust that pacing and this is easily 5⭐️

Thank you, Kristen Coar and Netgalley for the advanced read.

I genuinely loved this story and see so much promise in it!!!! The beginning was strong and the ending was wild! My only hesitation is that, at times, the narrative felt like it paused the magic to deliver a lesson. While I deeply believe in and respect the themes of gender equality, the lengthy explanations of a character's views sometimes pulled me out of the immersive world I was trying to get lost in. I found myself wanting to understand the magic system, but instead, I was given a detailed monologue. With a little refinement to weave those themes more naturally into the fabric of the world, I think this story could be absolutely perfect.

Thank you, Kate Dylan, the Publisher, and NetGalley for the early read!

This was the best of the entire series!!!!! I loved and related soooo much to Nesta. This one was filled with female rage and I need more and more!

RATING: 4.75⭐️, SPICE: 2🌶, TROPES: Slow Burn, enemies-ish to lovers, Hidden Identity, Magical Bond, Prophecy

ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR IMMEDIATELY!!!

From the very first page, I knew this book was something special. We’ve got witches, dragons, wyverns, kingdoms in chaos, secrets for days, and a romance that simmers like a cauldron on a full moon!

Mal? Certified badass. She's snarky, smart, feminist, and not afraid to set things on fire!

Ash? Broody cinnamon roll wrapped in armour with secret vulnerabilities.

The world-building? CHEF’S. KISS. Rich, vivid level of immersion.

I’m begging you—read it, scream about it, then message me so we can obsess together.

⚔️❤️‍🔥

It’s crazy how little buzz it gets right now, because it totally deserves the hype. I’ve already added it to my all‑time faves, and I can’t wait for the next book!!

This series should be getting way more buzz!!! It twists, it turns, it delivers!!!

It’s like stumbling onto a secret treasure chest of world‑building magic and raw, relatable feelings that the author nails every. single. time!! I've been binge‑reading it and can’t believe how quickly it’s become one of my all‑time faves.

I really enjoyed this! The increased POV chapters were wonderful—they made me crave Christmas vibes.

This is the book where Rhysand truly climbed the book boyfriend ladder. I mean…

I am so ready for more of you, Nesta!

I've heard ACOMF is everyone's favorite, but for me? ACOWAR. HOLY GODS. Non-stop adventure, incredible growth, and a gasp-worthy ending. Rhysand is still perfection, and honestly, I'm obsessed with every single character in this story.

Fourth Wing (Re-read)

This re-read wasn't just a revisit—it was a mission! I've got post-its plastered everywhere, red strings crisscrossing my walls, and enough wild theories to start a conspiracy podcast. 🕵️‍♀️✨ Rebecca Yarros, your mind is chef's kiss! The world-building? Flawless. The characters? Masterpieces.

And let's talk about Xaden Riorson. This man... THIS. MAN. He's still reigning supreme as my #1 book boyfriend, and honestly, the bar is now permanently set in the stratosphere. He's broody, brilliant, and the literal definition of “everything.” 🔥

Onyx Storm, I'm ready for you. My walls, my brain, and my heart? Less so. Pray for me.
