The world building in this book is so damned cool. Everything is very UNIQUE - from the moons in the sky being a beautiful depiction of death, to the interesting layout of the world, to the plants, animals and creatures, to the different cultures, to the elemental magic system, to even the currency. It’s so well thought out and beautifully done. Took a bit to immerse myself in the world because it’s so incredibly different, but once you’re in it, you are IN IT!
As for the characters, they were so rich in their backstories, getting to know them was fascinating. Every little tidbit from reading at the beginning starts to make sense as you go through the story. So many times I was flipping back to earlier chapters and going OHHHHHHHH!!!! WOAH WTF
Raeve was such a cool FMC. She is a BADASS, and it was wonderful to read about her growth as a person and understand more and more about herself as the chapters went on.
Kaan, I love him. This man knows how to yearn. He and Rygun are so cool. His kingdom is giving Velaris but hot, and his ragtag crew are very fun. I hope we get more of them in the next one. I’m especially eager to read more about Grihms egg hunting journey.
The ending was reveal, after reveal, after reveal. It was so intense and exciting and FUN. I CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK 2. Fall 2025 cannot come soon enough. LOVED IT THROUGH AND THROUGH
(May actually be in my top 3 books this year)

The spice is limited but deliciously spicy. The dragons are 10/10. The system of magic is novel and I’d like to explore the universe established here more. Just with 50% fewer words and 50% less rage.
The first 400 pages of this book could simply be rewritten to

The beginning was written in a poetic prose/ waxed lyrical…. Some plot holes were not yet addressed in book 1.
The audio book gave more clarity through the male/female character voices. But had One not listened to the audio, there might have been some confusion.
The end of the book randomly began to swap from 4 different perspectives.
This is not a light read. Takes some concentration.
