Thank you to NetGalley and DAW Books for allowing me early access to an eARC in exchange for my review.
The start was a bit slow and harder to get into. I liked the world-building in the beginning but the characters were hard to like.
Once we hit ~70% through it the plot definitely picked up immensely and I soared through that last little bit. The ending had left me unsure if this was a 4 ⭐️ or 5 ⭐️. Definitely was a solid 4 ⭐️ before that last section.
I really enjoyed that we got a gender-fluid main character, the societal utilization of sign-language, and the usage of neutral pronouns to refer to characters when we didn’t know how they presented. Also, it was refreshing that while our characters were “bonded” it was far from insta-love and the secrets they had between them did have intense ramifications on the relationship between them.
When the bond broke between our characters my heart broke at the same time. I desperately want to learn the true past connection between Arcady and Everen. I want to know what motives Ammil has been plotting to achieve. I need to know what happens to the rest of the dragons and if they will be able to coexist and allow all to survive.
