This book obviously has had SO much hyper. Things I loved: disabled main character. A Deaf side character. People overcoming the weight of parental expectation or legacy. A really cool magic system with dragons. Things I didn't love: the base plot felt very predictable, and the enemies-to-lovers romance even more so - while also somehow being both too slow and jumping too fast rather than a real build of a relationship. The ending gives me hope that the book series will get better and stay interesting so I'll keep going. But I definitely felt like it didn't quiiiiite live up to its hype.
