My review because it’s been a month and I can’t stop thinking about it:

Ok, idk how to explain my feelings for this book to you, because it feels like it was written to me. I’m just MY GOD!!! I loved this book so much!!! I can’t wait for the sequel!!!

My review because it’s been a month and I can’t stop thinking about it:

Ok, idk how to explain my feelings for this book to you, because it feels like it was written to me. I’m just so happy that this book exists. It has everything I love about fantasy books; dragons, queer normative world, a genderfluid MC, slow burn, and a story that’s so freaking good that I couldn’t put the book down.
In the beginning I was a little bit confused about the plot and where the story was going, and I’m not gonna lie, I had a notebook where I was writing important things so I wouldn’t get lost in the world system and the story, but that was just the first half of the book.
When I reached the middle, I was so invested in the story that it felt like I was watching a movie.
Something curious is that there are different povs, Arcady and Everen are the main narrators, and there are a few other ones, but the interesting thing here is that; Arcady chapters are in first person, and Everen is also in first person but as if he is writing letters to Arcady, so it’s kinda curious, but something that helped me to go through the book without mixing his povs, which happens to me a lot in other books like Dark Rise, where I don’t know whose pov is each chapter until I read the first two paragraphs. Idk, it’s just one of the things I loved the most about the book.
And I can’t begin to describe the great pacing of the story. Every freaking chapter left me wanting to read “just one more”, and well I couldn’t stop.
Now, with Cassia and Sorin povs. At first I didn’t get why Sorin pov was relevant, I get Cassia’s because she is Everen’s sister, but Sorin felt like “why do I need to care about you?” But as I read more, I grew to love Sorin chapters. I don’t want to spoil anything, but just know that it intersects with Arcady and Everen story at the end.
To finish this review I need to say; OMFG! THAT ENDING!?!? MAGNES’ STORY PLOT-TWIST!? I really can’t wait to read the next book. ...more "
