Thank you Netgalley for the free ARC ebook in exchange for an unbiased review.
I enjoyed this book! The first thing i noticed was the writing style, which was a little odd and took taking used to. But as i read on it was fine. I do think there was many times that there was filler sentences that felt unnecessary and even repetitive; that the author could have left out. These were sentences that often pointed out a very obvious thing that happened when it was already inferred in the previous paragraph. Also, just as a preference i would have liked the characters’ inner thoughts to be italicized, as well as call backs to other characters’ quotes. It helps differentiate them from the other paragraphs a bit more. 

The plot was interesting, love a good journey. I do think a map would have been nice to go along with this book so you could follow the journey. Since this is a stand-alone i think there could have been more world building and lore, especially surrounding the Slayers and the dragons. We only really meet two Slayers and do not have any backstory from them or about time in the Slayer’s Keep. An interlude or prologue of the First Slayer defeating the Dragons would have been an amazing addition.

I did like all the different monsters that the characters encountered including the smaller ones such as Aara.. 

I am glad that Serisa decided to go herself, she was irredeemable at that point with all she had killed and intended to kill with the release of the Dragons.

 I liked the romance, it did not feel rushed and it felt genuine.
