Fear the Flames by Olivia Rose Darling
3.25
This was disappointing - I heard such good things and I was so let down. I enjoyed the vibes, the overall story & the found family. THAT SAID. The lack of world building seriously annoyed me. Like, I'm still thinking about it. 
  1. what’s this weird magic but not magic system? What’s happening here.  Not one part of it was explained. 
  2. I was promised dragons, and I got minimal dragons. Also, how did they bond? what's the purpose of the bonding? is this rare? what does it mean? 
  3. Is the entire continent the size of Rhode Island? How are they going from the coast to the border to the castle to the Veles house all in one day. I was flipping back and forth to the map like “HOW!?” How did Cayden get from the border to his house in like 1 hour? How is Elowen running from the fucking castle to the border? None of it makes any goddamn sense.
