post-read review:

this book gets that little boost into 5 star territory due to the pure addictive power of this series. i'm so heavily entranced by these two main characters, and by the overarching plot, that i literally could not put this down.

despite my exams, i somehow finished this entire - and not especially short - book in a day, and i don't regret it at all. this was a beautiful continuation of the series that reminded me why JLA got me into reading when i was young, and while we didn't get as much ash/nyktos content as in previous two books (massive sad face) or really any baby drakon content (even bigger sad face), i still loved watching sera's growth throughout this story, and watching her immense strength shine through.

plus, this series is just so damn entertaining. i literally cannot put it down. and no cliffhanger for this book (!!) plus i only have to wait until may for book 4!!

Spoilerand this is so random, but was i the only person getting weird pregnancy trope vibes?? maybe i'm just paranoid and on the eternal lookout for signs because i DREAD the pregnancy trope, but for some reason i kept getting hints haha. surely not though...

pre-read review: may i just brag about how somehow my brilliant brain decided to start this series a few days ago, and i’ve now finished book #2 the exact day before book #3 is released?? what a legendary coincidence. 

in about an hour and 5 mins this book will be on my kindle…
