The entire premise of this book really drew me in. Queer enemies to lovers, dragons, magic system, and a prophecy to fulfill.
It took me a bit to get hooked and settled in, the world building was thorough and a bit wordy in the beginning. The magic system was really unique, I found myself a little confused at points as well as a personal disconnect with the writing style and perspectives though. One thing I love is when a fantasy book can completely immerse me into the new realm, and i wanted it to click so bad, but I struggled to be fully immersed with certain confusions throughout the story.
Love the gender fluid representation, and queer enemies to lovers with the “i don’t want you!” tropes. But this book fell a bit short for me.
3.5/5 stars because even though the beginning didn’t have me, the way it wraps up & the plot twist gave it a push and left me needing to know what’s next.
This book was sent to me by Netgalley as an ARC in exchange for an honest review, thank you!
