this book was sooo good omg. if you're looking for a dark romantasy with dragons, this is the one!

i hated king talon at first, but he grew on me after finding out why he's doing what he's doing. and calista! my bb! i feel so hard for her and everything she went through. one of the strongest FMCs i know.

the ending had the on the edge of my seat! i cannot wait for the next book, blood of dragons. penelope's writing is amazing and i've never been disappointed with any of her books.
