This book really dragged for me. To the point I asked my book group if I should give it up.
I stopped reading another book and came back. Glad I did. But not sure if I can handle another in this series

I groaned when I saw this book listed for a book club. I did not plan on liking it.
Surprise to me
I really enjoyed the book and felt it got me out of a horrible slump of books I just could not enjoy

That was nothing more than painful! From the narration to the story to the dragging on for nine painful books don’t even bother reading 8.5 it wasn’t worth it. I have never been so thankful to have a series over in my entire life. Who is saying that this was good?

The story kept me going. But after it was done I just could not love it. Maybe because it was building a world and I hope the next one really sucks me in.

This book was hard to get into. It took me three days to finish. so dock a half point for that. I was wondering for a while where are these dragons that they said were in the book. I see no dragons. So I figured the really detailed killing that happened in the beginning and the ending (cause it isn't my cup of tea) dock half a point for that.
Well it was a trick. The dragons want to see if you are worthy to enter their world. When they show up stuff is about to get real.
To be fair I had a really bad migraine when trying to read the book. Give back half a point. not the authors fault I wanted to just curl up. Yes I tried to use this book to pretend it I didn't have a near migraine. Then it took over and no book could be good enough to get through that.
Then day three happened.
I fell into the book so hard. I honestly think I went to work the next day with maybe 2 hours of sleep.
This book is not for everyone as it has a lot of trigger points and deals with the ugly part of life. With that said WOW that book!
Raeve was never the type of female that you wanted to slap because she was clingy or would do things that no sane person would do. Ok she was an assassin so I am not sure a sane person would do that but who am I to judge lol.
If you ever want someone on your side it would be her. She is a woman all her own and does not make excuses for that.
Kaan well he lost the love of his life. I can imagine the only thing that would be worse is losing his dragon. Then to see Raeve in that bar type thing where she is singing. He was never going to stop till he got to really know if Raeve was/is her.
Secondary characters.
There are going to be some great stories with them coming up soon! I feel it!
But Really I had to fall into this book before all the series is out! Good grief it is going to be a long year.
with the back and forth I am up to 4.5 stars. so do I recommend the book round up, do not, round down. So we have a 5 star.
But tempted to take away half a point just cause I have to wait a full year for book two. The pain

I wanted to give up. Not a story I would have picked but I did. I was telling myself I would hate myself for punishing myself for reading all of it.
But I enjoyed the ending. Was it worth the pain getting to the end?
No but glad it is finished.
I think others may like it. But it just wasn’t for me.

That was beautiful
The book felt real not fiction. You wanted to google parts of the book to know more curse fiction.
This book was just inspiring and moving. I hated the one part though. It was called the end. I think I will go suffer book hangover for a few days

Wow he main song sucks
The season 5 and dropping of the f-bomb is horrible. I get that is a okay word for others but it is not okay for everyone.
There are so many other podcasts out there but this podcast has turned super negative and left me with a horrible feeling.
Ever five minutes on the season about the church with the “venue” and “Lance” is my throwing in the towel and will need to move onto a different podcast
