This was horrible. The pacing is bad, the dialogue is cringy, the plot is.... what plot? Also, the writing was awful. It's all tell and no show. We are told Pyrah is a dangerous and powerful dragon, not in the least BY HERSELF, but she spends the whole book being taken prisoner, losing fights and being harmed. The book is also just so misogynistic and patriarchal??? Like, why?? You can make up a whole fantasy world and you choose to keep this shit in? Couldn't be me. Pyrah also loves to use slut and whore as negative descriptions of women and I am so over it. And it's so obvious that we are supposed to hail Rook as a feminist icon for knowing the word "consent" and always being so respectful of Pyrah. Also, why is Pyrah swearing so much using modern swear words and even referencing capital G god??? Rook is a half-incubus demon but capital G god exists? Nothing was properly explained in this world, not the dragon mating part of the plot, not why Rook's sister is imprisoned and in need of saving, NOTHING. I was rolling my eyes for most of this book, thank goodness it's over.
