Loved this book - not usually my genre but saw all the hype and thought I’d give it a go - it’s not a book that will challenge you, but it’s is an exciting read from start to finish- characters are loveable and detailed and the relationship development between all the characters is colourful and rich.

Aside from the sauciness (which is great) the lore surrounding the dragons and the history of the kingdom is interesting too- overall just loved this book and can’t wait to read the next one in the series!

Das mit Abstand beste Buch das ich seit langem gelesen habe!
Die Charaktere sind einfach so vielschichtig und gut geschrieben und die Kommunikation auch in herausfordernden Situationen war bewundernswert! Violet ist deutlich reifer als die Main Charaktere in den meisten YA-Romanen, was ich als ungemein angenehm empfand.
Das World-building und die Plottwists waren genial und überraschend aber dennoch gut vorbereitet!

Der Tod von Liam ging und geht mir weiterhin sehr nahe. Nachdem er der treuste und beste Freund war wirklich schwer zu verkraften 😢 Auch Brennans Schicksalwar sehr überraschend und selbst ihre erste Tötung sehr gut geschrieben. Die super casual representation von non-binary Personen und queeren Beziehungen war perfekt.

First of all, the perfect song to describe this book: Glory and Gore by Lorde. DAWG WHAT!? I am shook to the core. Holy hell, am I glad to finally read this book. Fine, I will get myself into more fantasy. Anyways, AHHHHHH I did sob, I will admit. Overall, it was a fabulous read. THE CLIFFHANGER THOUGHHHHHHH!!! 

Why and how is Brennan alive and why did you do my boy Liam like that!?!?!
