5.0

This is high fantasy at its finest!
I was invested in both the characters, and their plight from the very first page. Their individual storylines have just the right amount of suspense, everything about The Feath King’s, former life shrouded in mystery, and compelling enough to illicit sympathy for our villain.
Calista is a force, with a quiet strength and no nonsense attitude, which I love in female main characters .

Now for the fun part..the DRAGONS!🐉
Both Khasmuda and Inferno reminded me of wise old men, sitting on a front porch, doling out wisdom to younger generations. Their calm nature, and fortitude immediately endeared them to me.

No one does enemies~ to~lovers quite like Penelope.
I could feel the burning hatred and tension fueled angst between Talon and Calista.

Their chemistry was so intense I had chills ..
Having read their entire story in one sitting, the brutal cliffhanger had me raging, but I know this fantastic author will pull through for us readers in the end!
