I am obsessed with this book! The writing is gorgeous and immersive, the narrators of the story are relatable and lovable, and the story is complex and winding. It hit all my tickboxes in such a satisfying way - a unique magic system, dragons, enemies to lovers, underdog narratives, secrets on secrets on secrets. Whenever I wasn't reading this book, I wanted to be reading it. I can't wait for the sequel and I can't wait to share this experience with others.
