Dragonhart

If you took Celaena Sardothien made her more irritating and childish and put her into a shittier version of Forth Wing, this is what you'd get.

Arla Reinhart is supposedly the best assassin in her kingdom, so much so that she is the “kings assassin”. However, all of her actions went against that. Multiple times she referenced not being as good as she should've been or how “known” she was around the kingdom. It was not a well depiction of her being this “badass unbeatable assassin”. Not only that but the dialogue was so very bad. It felt forced which made it cringey to read. Everything that she said made me constantly roll my eyes.

Hark Stappen felt like every romantasy MMC mashed into one. There was no originality with him. Broody ✔️ Standoffish ✔️ complete fucking dick ✔️ I hated this man with my whole heart. This chapter POVs made me die inside everytime they came up.

I am usually more forgiving with debut authors. However, this felt very much like a mash of so many romantasy greats. It was not well written. I can get past bad writing if the story is entertaining, but with this the story was cringy and the writing was bad. I recommend skipping out on this one, you won't miss much of anything. This one should've stayed in the drafts a little longer..

Final rating: 1.5 stars ✨
