It took me a while to get through the book. I just didn't find the interest to pick it up and continue. Up until  the first 2/3 of the book, I had to push through and almost DNF'ed it. However, the last part got better. Will I continue the series? Perhaps. I'll probably give the next book a chance, but if it the same struggle as the first I will DNF.

This book destroyed me in all the best ways. If you are thinking about it, you will not be disappointed. It might be the best book I've read, the worldbuilding is actually insane, book 2 can't come soon enough.

Phenomenal first instalment to this new romantic fantasy series. Parker’s writing was so beautiful but not too longwinded and the world building was really well done. Enjoyed the magic system and the beads, and absolutely loved the ‘talking to the creators’ elements. Several mysterious and plot layers revealed and more to come. Kaan & Raeve are heartbreakingly beautiful together and I pray they get their happy ending! So excited for the next chapter.

Found it was too violent and I am trying to avoid unnecessary gore. If you check the trigger warnings, you'll see what I mean.

It’s a solid book and great fantasy. Some things felt a little unnecessarily long but it’s definitely a start to a series. A lot of world building. I will say while the author took the time to build a well established world it also felt like she over compensated. I get wanting to write world specific terms like “aurora fall” instead of nightfall “slumber” instead of night because of the way the world there works. But some things felt unnecessarily renamed. Pallet instead of bed. I kid you not imagined them sleeping on wood pallets not these luxurious 4-poster beds that supposedly they are. I don’t know maybe that’s just me. 

I appreciated the romance and that Kaan wasn’t trying to make Reave replace or be his fallen love but tried loving her for her. Dragons are a definite plus.

Sooo.
I'm kinda sad I only listened to this as entertaining while sick in bed.

After I had it on my wishlist for a long time and almost accidentaly ordered it twice based of an arc Review AND a coworker saying this is close to dethroning ToG for her, I was so excited for this.

And in the beginning I thought this was gonna be a year-highlight.

Don't get me wrong, I loved it!!
But in the end, there was some emotional connection missing for me. This could be entirely based on my state of mind atm, so I am really excited to read the next book(s) and will recommend this to anyone who'll listen.
