I have a lot of thoughts about this. For me, the only positives I personally have is 1) Liam is the absolute best character, no notes except he didn't deserve that one scene, 2) the dragons

talking to one another

is everything, 3)

Xaden's pov is honestly kinda sweet and made me hate the romance portion a little less

. Now what I couldn't stand the most: this is not enemies to lovers in any way. This is 100% a forbidden romance. If you enjoy this book, good for you. Not my cup of tea but I enjoyed it more than ACOTAR. Also to note, I loathe Violet's inner thoughts. Especially in regards to Xaden, she just reminds me of a horny teenage and she really can't respect his boundaries in the beginning/middle of the book which threw me away from supporting them as a couple.

Absolutely loved this book and the characters in it. Really cool to see a main character with a physical disability and that she is such a badass. And the enemies to lovers in this is just perfect.

I found that Violet kinda had main character syndrome at times but I found that I didn’t even care cause of how much I was enjoying this.

The quotes are amazing and most of the characters are loveable, the ones that you should hate are easily hated
