"3.5 stars. It’s my first read of 2025! I was really disappointed with this book. It had to much potential and I just hate that it didn’t meet my expectations. I did start to like the book more towards the end and I am really excited for book 2. All I know is this better have a happy ending. It is an interesting world and I like how unique it is. I hope that the writing improves through the 2nd and 3rd book. "

"I enjoyed the multiple povs and the Worldbuilding a bunch. All of the characters seemed pretty well built and I loved keeping track of each one.
It does info-dump a bit at times though "

"This book was not quite what I hoped for unfortunately. I was excited about this with all the hype and the fact that it has dragons in it, but this book simply wasn't for me. This isn't my kind of book. I had a hard time with some of the way the POVs of the characters switched during the story and was lost as to which character was talking some of the time. I also felt like they were trying to break the fourth wall during part of the story and it felt weird and I didn't like it. Whether they meant to break/try to break the fourth wall on purpose or not I don't know, but in this kind of story it didn't work the way they were doing it/trying to do it.<br/>I'm sure that a lot of others will like and enjoy this story and follow the series simply because it has dragons in it. I personally expected something different because it had dragons in it. I know this will be something a lot of others like and that there are a lot who do like it already. I simply wasn't the audience for this and it's not for me.<br/>Thanks to NetGalley and DAW books for letting me have a chance to read and review this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own."
