If this is your favorite book of all time I will be judging you lol. I mostly wanted to read this book cuz it was so freaking hyped up last year and I wanted to check out why, it had so many non readers picking it up and having them become readers, at least in the romantasy/fantasy genre. 

But having read it it’s reminding me of the teen dystopia era around the hunger games time, but instead of it being a masterpiece like the hunger games, it’s giving the lesser stories like divergent or the maze runner which tried to use the hype of the hunger games in the same genre, but were overall a much lesser experience because while they reused all the tropes, the story itself wasn’t really there.

While I’ll admit it was an easy breezy read and entertaining enough, everything was incredibly predictable, with the small underestimated heroine falling for the tall dark handsome dangerous forbidden stranger who she swoons at at every turn and inevitably ends up with despite it never being the best choice and they’re both just thinking with their dicks while they both just read as young students so it’s a bit jarring.

Lots of killing and dying for thrills sake and having the dragons be all cool and menacing only to have them appear like grumpy old men complaining in their heads was not exactly what I was expecting. Decent read is what I’ll give it, but damn I really expected better from the book of the year.
