Wow such an amazing book loved it just didn’t flow as much as I’d like and it wasn’t as lighthearted and funny as the first book understandably so since this book has a lot more tense moments

The relationships in this book are so realistic, where communication and trust must be the foundation for any relationship to thrive, whether its for friendships or love. And that feeling of failing for the first time and then feeling like everything you do is also a failure.... *chef's kiss. The fact the author wrote these emotions so accurately makes me feel SEEN. 

Also, the level of dragon sass is through the roof and I'm here for it lol.

I hated this more than the first book. The characters digressed, characters were brought back to life unnecessarily, and the story was very stereotypical and took tropes from the popular books that preceeded it. It was a waste of time
