I'm really glad I found this series. It starts off typical, someone finds out they have magic and gets dragged into a world of unknown but OMG! The plot twists, the magic, the fighting! I'm very excited to read book 2.

Thank you NetGalley and Second Sky for giving me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. 

I cannot put it into words how much I love this book. The plot just flowed so flawlessly and had you hooked the entirety of the way through. Alderson writes in such an incredible way that you form such a connection with the characters, with their emotions so perfectly written, making it so easy to imagine - almost as if this is happening right in front of you. There were so many twists and turns in this novel, many of which were not expected, always keeping you on your toes. 

This book contains the following tropes (as if the things I have already listed haven’t made you put this book on your TBR):
  • Found family
  • Enemies to lovers
  • Forced proximity
  • Multiple love interests
  • Elemental magic
  • Dragons, dragon riders
  • A lost child
