A mix of hunger games and got. This was one of my favourite love stories I've ever read. Violet's character development is strong but you can still see her failing, making mistakes, learning from them. I very much enjoyed her not being the perfect heroine by the end of the book, but you know that she tries everything in her possibilities to protect the ones she loves. 
But I must admit that it was hard for me to follow the war scenes.

This book had me on the edge of my seat, along for the adventure, and craving more! 

Rebecca Yarros definitely knows how to build tension, and how to pull off epic plot twists. As an author she balances the emotions, physicality, characters, and dialogue of flirty and spicy scenes in a way that is refreshing and compliments the story overall. 

The overall plot of the story was well crafted, with plot clues in just the right places to be noticed but not obvious. Main characters were expertly written, I just wish we had a little more development in the supporting characters. 

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️ (the build up is 🔥🥵)

How did we end up here??? I am having a bit of an identity-crisis, given the fact that I am not usually a fan of popular tiktok romantasy books, and this is probably the most popular of them all.
I just loved this. The character dynamics were great, THE ROMANCE!! The dragons were actually dragon-ing. Thank you!
