I feel like there are a lot of plot holes in the book. A lot of places where you can say: really? The government or the big players couldn't think of ANYTHING better?
Furthermore, I'm not gonna lie, I did cringe at the “romance” part of the book. Maybe/Especially because I'm a man and the romance is from a woman's perspective.
Now that we got the cringe parts out of the way, I'd like to say that this book always kept me interested and excited. The plot is interesting and i always wanted more. Even though i would've liked more world building, since the book does move at a fast pace, i didn't miss it that much. Given this, I liked that the book kinda reads like screenplay and i could visualize the story or the “movie” playing in my head as I listened to the book. Yes i did listen to an audiobook. However, i did like it enough to buy it and buy the second and the third book. So there's that. I would recommend it for every romantasy lover. And if you can get over the cringe romance parts even to men who might wanna read more about dragons and fighting.
