✨ highlights ✨ 

👍🏾 Really interesting concept of a society within the remains of dragon bones 

👍🏾 Commentary on sex education and the myth of purity 

👍🏾 Queer rep 

👍🏾 I began the book disliking Rasia immensely —> arrogant, self-absorbed, but as you read, you realize that’s she rightfully confident and used to having to prove herself 

👍🏾 Started indifferent towards Nico because Nico’s character seemed to be wholly around those around her; hard to form an opinion about someone who isn’t as intense as Rasia or complex as Kai 

👍🏾 Rooting for Kai 

👍🏾 Kai’s perspective shows Rasia in a new light, as a fierce warrior unafraid of living 

👍🏾 Start to actually like Nico about halfway thru 

👍🏾 Zephyr is a stick in the mud, but I love him

 ✨ Overall: a fun, punchy new adult fantasy novel full of humor, adventure, and character.

Tried listening on audio after DNF'ing the physical book a few years ago when I was halfway through, and I have the same thoughts...quite boring and too much inner monologue from the main character, not enough dialogue or action.
