An adventurous Sarah J Maas book but with dragons. 

I will give credit that Vi is sort of a relatable character, but the forced tension and scenes between her and Xaden were not for me. 

Book was certainly way too long as the plot fell flat and dry. Many scenes were very forced, overly dramatized, and/or drawn-out. Among theses were the spice, violence, and Vi and Xaden's messy romance. 

Also, no surprise, Andarna
is a special seventh dragon species (*wow*)
