This was the best book I’ve read this year by far. The writing and characters were amazing!! Meilin’s struggles, bravery, and madness was such a fresh breath of air. Following her story throughout the entire book and her mental state changing throughout each event was so unique. Seeing her question her sanity and trusting the dragon. Loved it! I loved her trying to build her relationships with others and witnessing the cruelties of war. The author did not hesitate to put Meilin in difficult situations where she faced death, abuse, torture, murder, and war. This was really new for me and something I haven’t read in most books yet so I was pretty surprised to see something like this and it just suits the character and story. 

The two love interests were perfect…. None of the male leads felt forced to the reader and I was starting to love Sky and Meilin but when you add Lei to the equation…. I fell even harder for Lei haha!! Lei and Meilin surprisingly work too and I enjoyed that part of the book. 

I can’t wait for the second book. I am constantly checking Song’s insta page for updates!
