Okay phewww 😤😮💨 a lot to unpack here!!!
First off i’m rounding up from 4.5 stars to 5. It can get a single chile 🌶️ cuz it does heat up towards the end.
Serious slow burn, hot banter along the way with enemies to lovers. I mean we love a shadow daddy am I right?
Militia/Academic Setting.
The bonds to the dragons were my favorite part of the storyline. Tairn, our sassy king, is hands down my president.
Took a bit for me to really get captivated & attached to the storyline though, which is why I’m being a little extra critical with a half star.
Would I recommend it? Hell yeah, and I’ll definitely continue with the series. I’m hoping we get more of Xaden’s point of view with the next book, some more dual perspective. Very solid plot line alongside the romance which I really appreciated as well.

4.75/5✨ 1-1.5/🌶️
Gods, Monsters, Dark Power, Ancient Artifacts
I ADORED this book. I’ll start by saying it’s slow burn enemies to lovers, but above all else this is high fantasy. While there are some modern touches it read like epic fantasy to me.
Sassy & confident main characters, banter was top notch.
Very very slow burn, one of the most true enemies to lovers I’ve ever read. Not just rivals, but true immortal enemies.
If you love fantasy for the plot, and not just for the romance this book is for you. Completely underrated and not talked about enough. This one will stay on my mind rent free from here on out.

DNF & 26%.
Reads like a younger YA writing style or fanfic & just couldn’t keep me captivated sadly.

DEVOURED this.
I’m so captivated by this realm. This one was just as fast paced and soul snatching as the first book…. dare I say better?
Keeps you on your toes, plenty of twists and turns, & intricate descriptive imagery that transports you into the story. These books feel like movies, top tier YA fantasy romance.
How do I crawl into the pages tho, bc reading the words is simply not enough 😩🫠

UM WHAT? I picked this book up around 5PM….entered a portal into caraval… and came back out of my reading hyper-fixated coma around 1:30 AM.
A masterpiece. 6 stars. Can’t believe I let this precious book sit on my shelf for months unread. I feel high after finishing this book. So many unpredictable twists and turns, romantic tension so thick you can cut it like a cake, intricate and s consuming descriptive imagery.
The fairytale I wish I could’ve read for bedtime. That was a freaking ride, they hype is real and it’s more than worth it. Officially one of my new favorites.

3.85 ⭐️ rounded up.
Some seriously epic world building here. Took awhile for me to fully immerse myself, but once I was in, I got invested. Made me forget I was reading, left me needing more.
Think Divergent but add psychics.

& easy read but this had too many real current world references for me so it made the setting and storyline feel off to me.
I’ve been a fan of Alix E. Harrow’s other works but this one fell short for me:/
