There was some awkward writing throughout the book such as almost identical sentences being repeated multiple times on the same page. It made me think that I kept accidentally rereading the same paragraph.
Be that as it may, this was still a really fun read! Ancient Rome? Yes, please! A fun Medusa-inspired retelling? Amazing! Dragon shifters? Say no more! The world building was relatively easy since it was based on real history but with a little twist. I loved all the side characters and wish the best for them. Also really hate all of the villains and wish the worst for them. Exactly how I should feel while reading the book. There wasn't a single character that I didn't care about what happened to them. Can't wait for the next one!

I'm going to be very honest, the writing was not very good. There were so many times I cringed at how bad it was. The first 3 pages was full of variations on the word "Knot" like we get it, the book is called "Knotted" but you could have used a word that fit better here. The plot was barely there and full of plot holes. If I'm reading a dark cowboy romance, I want my cowboy to do cowboy shit and not just every 100 pages so that we remember he is a cowboy. I finished the book quickly, felt really bad for the FMC Connor but other than that it was just an okay kind of book.
Also, if anyone is going through the same traumatic issues that she is, please seek professional help. It's okay to not be okay after going through that. It honestly feels like every man in Connor's life forgot that a therapist is an actual occupation? Like seriously dude, you can be her support system but she need professional help.

Too many POVs. Found that the book ended very abruptly without anything really happening. Like the big conflict should have definitely been more dramatic than it was. Maybe that's just me. If was still good but kind of lacking. Maybe the show will have more to it?

Not going to lie, I picked this book up thinking it was something else with a very similar title... but this book was still okay! I finished it in a day even after realizing it was not what I originally wanted. The plot was easy enough to guess. The characters were nothing overly original but still entertaining. It had dragons and magic so I can't really complain. It was a fun quick read.
*Spoiler here*
Stig is officially waaaaaaayyyyy worse than Dain Aetos. So kudos to the author for making a much worse childhood best friend to jealous love rival to enemy. Cause Stig can get eaten by a dragon for all I care.

Better than book 2. You can really tell she took her time getting this one right and going through multiple edits. There weren't a whole bunch of side quests to distract from the main goal. Each character was used for their strengths and not thrown in for the plot or just because they're a fan favorite. I do like that we got to see more of the bonds between the other riders and their dragons this time. Everyone was used wisely and the plot flowed well. I still love my dragons and their riders and can't wait to read what happens next !As excited as I am for book 4, I want her to take her time so that we get a strong story.
