The book was fine. Some parts were poorly written, some parts were better. Overall I have no desire to finish it
The good and bad:
- Violet's character was inconsistent between the first chapter and the later chapters (i kept waiting for her sickliness and TRAVAIL of HEALTH to hold her back but she seems fine?? in fact there seems to be nothing she CAN'T do, apart from being short. but I was disappointed by the delivery, since was such a huge emphasis on her weakness and being sicky in the beginning that I was pretty confused by the end of the first few chapters because that was never actually shown... as being a problem...Cmon, give me actual struggle here.)
- The part where violet tells Dain off was VERY satisfying, Dain SUCKED. Great job here
- The main guy (Xerxes? I think his name started with an X or a Z) very cool, no issues here. romance was fine.
- Mostly just DNF bc I felt like the characters were so inconsistent, especially violet, and it irked me. Also I was gonna have to start skipping scenes because the spice level was increasing lol
- I have no issues with multicolored hair on the female MC but it was giving 13-year-old fan fiction vibes
- Magic system never explained????? Just statements of fact without actual explanations.
- It's obvious from the start of the book that Violet is going to get a cool dragon, so none of that reveal felt amazing - it was so obvious that she was special , and while that doesn't have to ruin the reveal... the reveal didn't make up for it. yes of course she's going to get the mated dragon so her and the ML are even more special. and TWO dragons... idk I feel like I would've liked the story better if she'd just gotten the small baby dragon and had to scrape by with that.
