did i break my paperback streak to buy this hardcover for the sprayed edges? 100%. the hype is sooo real for this book omg, i will always and forever be in my fourth wing era!

i have no words for this book, it was truly a five star experience. 

rating: 🌟♾️ 
spice: 🌶️🌶️

this book follows violet, our fmc, being forced off to a war college to become a dragon rider. she’s the most badass fmc i’ve ever read about. she’s strong and doesn’t take anyone’s shit. i also love the chronic illness rep in this book!

xaden, the love of my life, is our mmc. he doesn’t coddle violet and allows her to grow in her own way. this man is the best book boyfriend ever. why am i always falling in love with men who can wield shadows? 🥵

this book hit every mark for me. it has my favorite enemies to lovers trope, some spice, and it made me feel ALL the emotions! i think i legit cried for an hour when i was 80% in. i highly recommend this book if you’re into romantasy, action, and dragons. 🐉💛

p.s. this is a dain hate account.
