Re-read to prepare for the second book coming out shortly, just as entertaining the second time around. I honestly can't wait to see where the story goes from here.

Totally understand why this is getting all the hype on TikTok, becuase it's basically like How to Train Your Dragon (a personal favorite) for adults. With more violence and more sexy times. To be honest, I should have expected the sexy times but I didn't. That's on me (lol).

I did really enjoy the world building in this, and we have a protagonist who is definitely the underdog. Meant to be a librarian, really, but ends up as a dragon rider instead. Definitely a great premise for a story, and Yarros pulls it off really well.

Recently, I saw that this is supposed to be a 5 book series and I was not prepared for that kind of series commitment. But here we are. Definitely worth the hype, and I'm excited to see where the series goes next!
