Despite moments of writing style I loved this book. It’s all I can think about since finishing it. The plot and characters were amazing. The end was not what I expected but *chefs kiss*

A book that has an interesting subplot about history being erased or hidden that keeps getting interrupted by booktok tropes checklist.

Reads like a YA novel with spicy scenes.  I'm a fan of YA dystopia so it was fine with me but more avid fantasy readers might find it distracting or unnecessary.  Some of the book contained jargon or phrases that seem out of place in a fantasy world that took me out of the story.  Is this a future word of Earth, past, or somewhere else?  All in all it's a fast paced adventure romance that I enjoyed & will definitely read sequels.

Enemies-to-lovers, lovable characters, magical abilities, DRAGONS. What more could a guy ask for? This book was amazing. Most of the characters were so easy to love and the ones that weren't were designed to be hated. The side characters didn't feel cheap, it was easy to see their personalities shine through the text. The MC had a fun personality, she'd often make me smile or laugh. 

The story itself was interesting. I found myself excited to find out more details as the plot unraveled. It was good, there were times when I HAD to read another chapter before returning to regular life. I'm definitely going to read the next book.
