“I think you are trying to do what is right. There are not a lot of people, humans especially, who will do what is right or for the good of their people— all their people.”
i actually had a really fun time reading this book. we follow five povs: Keagan, Avalon, Rowena, Malcolm and Zedock. each of these characters are after the crimson shard for it’s magical properties, although their motives for wanting it are different. Keagan is a dragon shifter, Avalon is the princess of Vicerona and Rowena, Malcom and Zedock are part of a crime syndicate. i liked all the characters but Malcolm took a while for me to warm up to, he’s a bit of an ass for the majority of the book. i never felt overwhelmed by the multiple povs, which was nice. they were all very distinct and felt necessary.
“Life before him and life with him felt like two completely separate books in the story of her life, and while the former was closed, she wanted the latter to stay open forever.”
the romances were kind of insta love, especially Keagan and Avalon but when i tell you i got so invested in their relationship by the end anyway.. i fear i need the next book cause the way this left off is criminal!! i also enjoyed the heist aspect and i want more of Rowena in her blood witch role cause she’s more of an enigma to me right now. Keagan’s whole storyline with his family and the other dragons was a punch in the chest for real. i do think the world building could’ve used some more depth though and i felt like things didn’t have a moment to settle. im just curious to see where the story will go from here on out, there’s a lot of potential honestly.
➳ many thanks to NetGalley, the author and Victory Editing Co-Op for the arc, all opinions are my own.

Unbound brings together a compelling mix of magic, heists, and high-stakes adventure, but unfortunately, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The premise is exciting: a group of thieves, including a blood witch, is on the hunt for the elusive Crimson Shard, while Princess Avalon and dragon shifter Keagan seek it for the salvation of their people. There's potential for a gripping story here, but I found the execution fell a bit short.
The dual narrative structure was an interesting choice, giving us multiple perspectives on the quest for the Shard. While I appreciated the diversity of characters, I found myself more engaged with the storyline of Avalon and Keagan than with the thieves. Their journey felt more personal and emotionally driven, particularly as they battled the plague affecting the dragon shifters. However, I felt the thieves’ motivations—especially the dynamics between Malcolm, Rowena, and Zedock—weren't as well fleshed out, making it harder to connect with their quest.
One of the main issues I had with the book was its resemblance to other fantasy works, particularly Six of Crows. The city of Vicerona felt very much like Ketterdam, and the criminal elements of the story were a bit too familiar. For me, this lack of originality took away from the excitement I was hoping to feel.
In terms of world-building, I found that Unbound didn’t delve deeply enough into the setting to make it feel fully immersive. While there’s magic, intrigue, and political scheming, I felt the world lacked the depth necessary to truly bring the stakes to life. The motivations behind the characters' actions, particularly the thieves, didn’t always feel fully developed, leaving some plot points feeling predictable and simplistic.
That said, the book does have its strengths. The pacing is quick, and the action is engaging. The stakes are high, and there’s a sense of urgency that drives the plot forward, especially with the looming threat of the plague. I also appreciated the diverse cast of characters, and while I wasn’t as emotionally invested in every storyline, I can see how readers who enjoy a large ensemble cast might enjoy this aspect.
Overall, Unbound has potential, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. While the characters, world, and plot have their moments, the predictability and lack of depth in certain areas made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. However, fans of fast-paced fantasy with heists, magic, and dragon shifters might still find it an enjoyable read.
If you enjoy:
- Heist-style adventures with a large cast
- Dragon shifters and magic
- Fast-paced fantasy with political intrigue
...Unbound might be right up your alley.

This was a very fun read with so many interesting characters introduced into a dynamic world of intrigue and adventure. There were times when it seemed like two separate stories that would intersect and run parallel and then finally came together at the end in the most satisfyingly way. Having the story play out like that lend to the feeling of the chase and the anticipation of what was going to happen next. The characters were loveable and I really enjoyed the found family aspect of the story along with many of the "side characters" introduced. The land was rich with strife and I love he heart of our princess as she goes about to make the world a better place. I have to say I loved our witch a little more as she was a very deep and dark character which I tend to love. I hope to see more of her in the upcoming books. A very enjoyable read and I cant wait to see what happens next.

Perfection on paper!
This book is outstanding. I was lucky enough to read this as an alpha reader and was completely blown away even by the end of the first draft.
Unbound has 5 main characters we follow, and in some cases, that can cause confusion, but not here. Gossin's ability to create unique characters makes each and every one of these points of views add value to the overall plot. Their character arcs intertwine and really create a complex and compelling fantasy adventure. The world building does not disappoint! I love the description of cliffside deserts, bustling cityscapes, cute small town villages, and steampunk aerial travel. I have been so excited for this release because now I finally get to tell the world how phenomenal this book is!
Bravo Brittany Gossin 👏

A big thank you to Netgalley and Brittany Gossin for this arc💕
Wow, this was so refreshing and bingeable! A really fun concept that combines all of our favorites: blood witches, dragon shifters, found family and a lot of tension🔥
The characters had a lot of banter and I especially really loved Keagan’s chapters🥰 the only thing that didn’t make this a 5⭐️ book was the pacing, i feel like it moved a bit too quickly in some parts of the book.
Overall a very fun read and I will definitely pick up the next book once it releases!

Fuckkkkkkkk
I didn’t even make it 25% through this arc before I was off buying a limited hardback from the author for $70 😂
I don’t even care! Take my money!
I need the second book now
It’s like Six of Crows + plus dragon shifters + carrion MMC (banter and looks but a dragon) + and imagine Dorian’s personality but a short blonde chick as the FMC
I’m still reeling from all the twists and the battle scenes.
This book is gonna screw with your emotions

I have finished reading my ARC copy of Unbound written by Brittany Gossin.
Unbound is the first book in the dragonflight series.
This story is a great read. It has a lot of great fantasy elements that I love and it's really unique. We got dragonshifters, a princess, thieves and witches. All are after the shard, but all with different reasons. This brings them all on the path of adventure, with unforeseen dangers on the way.
"Eyes to the sky. Wings in the clouds."
It's written in a way that makes it really easy to read. It's full of action, steam and a world thats dangerous. Its surpresses the one group and fears the other, but will there be possibilities, or is change impossible?
"I see you. You hide in the shadows, but I still see you. There is no darkness black enough to hide you from me."
I love how the story builds and how we see the story unfold from the perspective of different characters. They are written vividly and I emphasized with them. I felt their love, their joy, their sadness and their hatred.
The story is about power, about friendship, loyalty, about (dis)trust, about betrayal and about finding common ground. About finding allies, about giving in to the truth and taking risks for a better world.
This is story has some plots you can see coming, but there are also plots that really surprised me en got me all exciting. The end.. I did not see coming and I'm really looking forward to the next book.
I definitely recommend this book and I give it four stars.

Such an enjoyable, fun read. It was fast-paced, action packed, and easily consumable with steampunk-esque Six of Crows vibes. Throw in a dragon shifter, a princess in hiding, and a syndicate group on a mission for a powerful shard and you have an entertaining & thrilling adventure. I really enjoyed the fight scenes, banter, and romance. The multi-POVs were captivating and there was always something to look forward to after each POV. I’m excited for the next book!

“If you let the ghosts of your past control your present, you’ll never reach your future.”
Unbound by Brittany Gossin is book 1 in the Dragonflight series and it did not disappoint!
I am still silently sobbing over here in the corner processing the emotional trauma this just put me through 😭 but for real though I need the next book ASAP!
This does have multiple POV’s but it adds to the development of the plot and the world as a whole. You need them all to help you see the bigger picture. We meet Avalon (a sheltered princess), Keegan (a dragon trying to save his family), Malcolm (a class clown thief), Rowena (a traumatized blood witch), and Zedoc (a hulking loyal friend). All going after the same thing and each with their own reason.
Brittany does an amazing job building this world, setting the scene, and developing these characters that you just can’t help but get lost in it. I cannot even choose who my favorite is but Rowena has my ❤️. I thought she had the most character development and I cannot wait to see her continue to grow and flourish! I really really hope Malcom gets his own book in the series 🤞🏻
This book really has it all. A stabby FMC, dragons, witches, oppressive government, found family, protective MMC, and comedic relief.

This books flirts the line between 4.5 and 5 stars but ultimately it kept my attention and had a good mix of everything. Excited for book 2!!!
Overall rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Genre: romantasy
Plot: slow burn romance with a fantasy core of blood witches and dragon shifters
Emotion: 🧡/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Summary: set in a world of disease, oppression, and a tyrant king, a Crimson Shard holding ultimate power could right all the wrongs. But in the wrong hands, it could doom them all. Follow the journey of a fleeing princess, suppressed dragon shifter, and syndicate trio of thieves as they push to be the first to steal the Shard from the notoriously dangerous Blood Witches!
This is a multiPOV plot with predominately 3 storylines:
(1) Dragon shifters: this was probably my favorite storyline. The dragon shifters background / heritage was fascinating to learn. My only negatives about the MMC are his (1) appearance and (2) lack of knowledge at times. His dragon skills make him extremely perceptive but was really out of touch on what the world has to offer - not surprising given his oppression - but it made him a little less desirable.
(2) The princess: she’s a badass, knows how to fight, is intelligent, and her purpose is admirable. There’s not much to not like about her. Her background is typical for a princess whose father cares more about power/succession rather than the wants and wellbeing of his daughter. She did have me fuming at times.
(3) The syndicate: I didn’t really care about for most of the book, and often found myself disappointed when their POV chapters were up. Not that their storyline was bad, it just was my least favorite comparably. I will say, the syndicate had strong Six of Crows vibes but with vulgarity which I appreciated.
Takeaway: if you liked Six of Crows but wish it had more 🌶️ romance - give this a try. If you’re in your dragon era and really want a book heavy on the dragon side, this might not be the book for you. Dragon shifters are a component of the book but due to their oppression it’s not a huge component (not comparable to Fourth Wing). This is multi-POV following 2 to 3 storylines that don’t always overlap so if you get overwhelmed by multiple concurrent plots, be warned, but also still give it a try - it’s not overly complex to follow.
Thank you Victory Editing and NetGalley for the digital ARC!

Thank you to Brittany Gossin, Victory Editing, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this novel!
Although I devoured this book pretty quickly and overall enjoyed it, I have to admit that I don't think this book was quite ready for publication. While it's a fun read in general, it had a lot of glaring issues that I struggled to overlook.
Let's talk about the characters. We've got Keagen, a dragon shifter, who seeks out a magical object called the Crimson Shard to save his people from a disease that's killing them. Avalon is a sheltered princess who's encouraged by her mentor and father figure to pursue the Shard to help save the suffering people her real father, the king, ignores. Then, we've got a crew of thieves—Rowena, Zedock, and Malcolm—who seek the Crimson Shard to erase their debts.
Malcolm is perhaps the least likeable character I have ever encountered in my entire life. I found him to be slimy and selfish, and he was never redeemed in my eyes at any point. Now, maybe I'm going to sound like the friend who's too woke, but Zedock being a black male character who's apparently "known for" being stupid and violent is very questionable, in my opinion. Finally, the male characters were constantly looking at the female characters' hips and backsides. It was really distracting and kind of creepy to have that mentioned several times; it made me feel like those characters were weirdos instead of attractive or desirable.
I really wish this book had expanded on its worldbuilding, because I think it had the potential to be really interesting. However, the way it was done made it seem as though the author wasn't really sure what time period she wanted this book to be set in. First, the characters decide to travel somewhere by boat; okay, pretty standard for a fantasy novel. Then, they discuss boarding an aeroship once they reach their destination; pretty cool and not something I typically see! But wait, then the other characters are talking about traveling using an...automobile? But then they settle on using horses instead? I think this could work just fine if any of it was further elaborated on, but it wasn't.
Now, one of the main things that stood out to me from the very start is that this book seems to take bits and pieces from other books and games.
For example, the thieving crew and heist feels very, very much like Six of Crows, with the city of Vicerona sounding almost exactly like Ketterdam. Malcolm and Zedock come from a place called Kerizan, which sounds shockingly like Keramzin to me, a place also from the Grishaverse.
But that's not at all. I immediately noticed a lot of names and places from World of Warcraft. For example, this series is called Dragonflight, which is the name of a recent WoW expansion. But it also has a city called Undercity (just like WoW) and a place called Alestraza, which is shockingly similar to the World of Warcraft character named Alexstrasza—who just happens to be a dragon and a main character in Dragonflight. While we're talking about game references, the author also seemed to nab the word Dovahkiin from Skyrim/The Elder Scrolls, which means Dragonborn in that world. These could just be coincidental, I suppose, but they seemed way too specific to be, in my opinion.
I really struggle to understand why this book is marketed as slow burn, because that could not be farther from the truth. Within 2-3 days of meeting, these characters were supposedly "in love." Meanwhile, two other characters randomly "decided to be together" without actually having that conversation on screen, despite the fact that one half of that relationship was romantically interested in someone else for years. But all of the sudden, they want to be with this other person? And we don't even get to see a discussion about it?
What bothered me the absolute most about this book, though, is the very obvious lack of editing. There were so many dangling modifiers, inconsistencies, punctuation issues, and insanely unrealistic dialogue.
The unrealistic dialogue was the biggest issue to me. The characters didn't really use contractions in their speech, which comes off as extremely stilted and unnatural. Then, there were bits of dialogue like, "Stay here. No matter what you hear, keep everyone here." See how unrealistic that sounds, with here/hear being repeated that many times in just two sentences?
This book was absolutely filled with inconsistencies. There was one paragraph that contained both "cannot" and "can not" almost back to back in the same context. There was a place called Toezan, but there was one instance just a couple of pages apart where it was spelled both "Toezan" and "Tozeon."
Listen, I promise I really did enjoy this book overall, though I don't think I would continue the series. But I believe it could have really benefited from several rounds of intensive editing to resolve all of the above issues. These are problems I would expect in a fanfiction or story posted online, but certainly not in a published novel.
After some debate, I rated this book 2 stars out of 5. I would have given it 3, but I found myself thinking about and noticing all of the errors and issues more than the actual plot and events of the book.
I post other reviews + bookish and lifestyle content on my blog, By Ashleigh :)

Let's talk about the characters. We've got Keagen, a dragon shifter, who seeks out a magical object called the Crimson Shard to save his people from a disease that's killing them. Avalon is a sheltered princess who's encouraged by her mentor and father figure to pursue the Shard to help save the suffering people her real father, the king, ignores. Then, we've got a crew of thieves—Rowena, Zedock, and Malcolm—who seek the Crimson Shard to erase their debts.
Malcolm is perhaps the least likeable character I have ever encountered in my entire life. I found him to be slimy and selfish, and he was never redeemed in my eyes at any point. Now, maybe I'm going to sound like the friend who's too woke, but Zedock being a black male character who's apparently "known for" being stupid and violent is very questionable, in my opinion. Finally, the male characters were constantly looking at the female characters' hips and backsides. It was really distracting and kind of creepy to have that mentioned several times; it made me feel like those characters were weirdos instead of attractive or desirable.
I really wish this book had expanded on its worldbuilding, because I think it had the potential to be really interesting. However, the way it was done made it seem as though the author wasn't really sure what time period she wanted this book to be set in. First, the characters decide to travel somewhere by boat; okay, pretty standard for a fantasy novel. Then, they discuss boarding an aeroship once they reach their destination; pretty cool and not something I typically see! But wait, then the other characters are talking about traveling using an...automobile? But then they settle on using horses instead? I think this could work just fine if any of it was further elaborated on, but it wasn't.
Now, one of the main things that stood out to me from the very start is that this book seems to take bits and pieces from other books and games.
For example, the thieving crew and heist feels very, very much like Six of Crows, with the city of Vicerona sounding almost exactly like Ketterdam. Malcolm and Zedock come from a place called Kerizan, which sounds shockingly like Keramzin to me, a place also from the Grishaverse.
But that's not at all. I immediately noticed a lot of names and places from World of Warcraft. For example, this series is called Dragonflight, which is the name of a recent WoW expansion. But it also has a city called Undercity (just like WoW) and a place called Alestraza, which is shockingly similar to the World of Warcraft character named Alexstrasza—who just happens to be a dragon and a main character in Dragonflight. While we're talking about game references, the author also seemed to nab the word Dovahkiin from Skyrim/The Elder Scrolls, which means Dragonborn in that world. These could just be coincidental, I suppose, but they seemed way too specific to be, in my opinion.
I really struggle to understand why this book is marketed as slow burn, because that could not be farther from the truth. Within 2-3 days of meeting, these characters were supposedly "in love." Meanwhile, two other characters randomly "decided to be together" without actually having that conversation on screen, despite the fact that one half of that relationship was romantically interested in someone else for years. But all of the sudden, they want to be with this other person? And we don't even get to see a discussion about it?
What bothered me the absolute most about this book, though, is the very obvious lack of editing. There were so many dangling modifiers, inconsistencies, punctuation issues, and insanely unrealistic dialogue.
The unrealistic dialogue was the biggest issue to me. The characters didn't really use contractions in their speech, which comes off as extremely stilted and unnatural. Then, there were bits of dialogue like, "Stay here. No matter what you hear, keep everyone here." See how unrealistic that sounds, with here/hear being repeated that many times in just two sentences?
This book was absolutely filled with inconsistencies. There was one paragraph that contained both "cannot" and "can not" almost back to back in the same context. There was a place called Toezan, but there was one instance just a couple of pages apart where it was spelled both "Toezan" and "Tozeon."
Listen, I promise I really did enjoy this book overall, though I don't think I would continue the series. But I believe it could have really benefited from several rounds of intensive editing to resolve all of the above issues. These are problems I would expect in a fanfiction or story posted online, but certainly not in a published novel.
After some debate, I rated this book 2 stars out of 5. I would have given it 3, but I found myself thinking about and noticing all of the errors and issues more than the actual plot and events of the book.

Unbound was a super fun adventure! We follow 5 main characters - a gang of thieves, a princess, and a dragon shifter, who are all after a relic known as the Crimson Shard. This relic will give its user the power to accomplish anything they want. Each of our characters has different motivations for seeking out the shard.
With our gang of thieves we have a story of friendship and the princess and dragon shifter give us a nice romance. The romance was a bit instalovey but I really enjoyed it, Keagan and Avalon’s chapters were my favorite!
The book was fairly short and full of action and didn’t slow down at any point! I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. I can’t wait to revisit this world for book 2!
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a copy to review.

Unbound by Brittany Gossin offers an immersive and captivating journey into a beautifully crafted fantasy world. One of the standout features of this book is its exceptional world-building. Gossin has created a rich, complex universe where magic, myth, and adventure collide, drawing readers into a setting that feels both fresh and fully realized. From the first page, it's clear that the author has put considerable effort into creating a world that feels alive and vibrant, with unique elements that set it apart from other fantasy novels.
Another aspect that I particularly appreciated was the shifting perspectives between characters. Each character brings their own voice and perspective to the story, offering deeper insight into their motivations and struggles. This technique not only keeps the narrative dynamic but also allows readers to connect with different characters in meaningful ways, enhancing the emotional depth of the story.
The fantasy elements in Unbound are both fun and inventive. Gossin introduces some new concepts that add a layer of excitement and unpredictability to the plot. Whether it’s the use of magic, the creatures that inhabit this world, or the twists that emerge as the story unfolds, there’s always something fresh to discover. The magical aspects of the book are particularly enjoyable, with enough intrigue to keep you hooked and curious about what will come next.
Overall, Unbound is a highly enjoyable read for fans of fantasy. With its strong world-building, engaging multiple perspectives, and exciting magical elements, it stands out in the genre. If you enjoy immersive, imaginative fantasy with a touch of mystery and adventure, this book is definitely worth picking up.

UNBOUND 🐉
Ok so two things. 1. the MAP IS STUNNING 2. Is there a second book because that ENDING, I NEED TO KNOW.
Multiple POV, blood witches, dragon shifters, kings/queens rulers what’s not to love? Quite a bit of world building and tricky to understand what’s going on at the beginning with the multiple POV, but very quickly you do understand as the twists start happening very early.
Bring in Avalon FMC a princess and her father is forcing her into a marriage she doesn’t want. Then we have Keagan is MMC dragon shifter on Dragonflight. He needs to get medicine for a disease, ‘the blight’ which is effecting all dragon shifters. However dragon shifters aren’t allowed outside of Dragonflight or over the wall. As per the kings orders, they’ve been forced to live in exile and gradually become extinct. Keagan has had enough and ventures to Vicerona to find medicine in the hopes he doesn’t get caught.
Then we have the thieves, The Syndicate - Zedlock, Rosalie, Rowena and Malcolm. Rowena is an integral character in the story and love the development throughout.
Keagan and Avalon’s stories both start separately with multiple POV’s then they both bump into each other in Vicerona in the undercity under no pretences.
Avalon is going to go find the crystal that’s needed to make the medicine Keagen needs however it’s within blood witch territory and that’s when the journey begins.
The tension, spice & world building had me fully immersed into the story and I can’t wait to see where Avalon and Keagan’s journey continues.

2.5⭐️ - I was so excited about this book—it had dragons, a princess, a group of thieves and witches! The premise was intriguing: multiple characters, each on their own journey, all converging in the search for the elusive Crimson Shard.
Right from the start, we’re introduced to five POVs (in third-person), which was a bit overwhelming. Still, I appreciated getting to know each character’s background, perspective, and their motivation for finding the shard. Unfortunately, the execution didn’t quite live up to the potential.
The pacing felt rushed at times, with chapters ending abruptly, making the narrative feel a bit clunky. The romance between Ava and Keagan came across as insta-love—there was no real build-up or tension, just a sudden shift to them being together without much on-page development. The love triangle involving Malcolm, Rowena, and Zedock... well, it was there, but I didn’t feel invested in it. Honestly, none of the romances really worked for me.
I also wished for more in terms of world-building, the magic system, and the plot itself. The setting felt inconsistent, almost like the time period kept shifting, which made it hard to feel grounded in the world.
That said, I did finish it in a day, so it held my attention—but there were just too many inconsistencies that I think should have been addressed in the editing process, especially for a published book. I won’t be continuing with the rest of the series, but if the premise intrigues you, it might still be worth a try.

**Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this eARC**
I just finished *Unbound Dragonflight* by Brittany Gossin, and wow, what a ride! Admittedly, it started off a bit slow for me—especially since the chapters switch perspectives a lot—but once I reached the middle, I couldn’t put it down.
I completely fell in love with Keagan and Avalon. The tension and chemistry between these two are off the charts. Every interaction had me eagerly anticipating their next scene together. I loved Avalon’s strength, vulnerability, and her determination to control her own destiny, especially when facing shocking truths about her heritage. Keagan stole my heart with his loyalty and determination to protect his dragon shifter family.
Rowena quickly became one of my favorites as well; strong, fierce, and full of surprises. Her bold actions had me cheering for her throughout. I loved Malcolm’s sarcastic humor, and Zedock’s quiet loyalty pulled at my heartstrings.
The twists and reveals toward the end were phenomenal—I never saw them coming! The cliffhanger ending was emotionally intense and left me desperate for more. My heart absolutely broke for Avalon and Keagan, and now I’m anxiously waiting to see if they can overcome everything standing between them.
Overall, *Unbound Dragonflight* delivers romance, adventure, and fantastic character development. I’m counting the days until book two arrives—seriously, I need it now!

Unbound is a solid start to the Dragonflight series with high stakes, layered characters, and a rich world that grows more gripping the deeper you go. It did take me a little while to get into the book —there’s a lot of world-building and multiple POVs to track—but once it clicked, I was fully invested.
We follow five key characters: a princess, dragon shifter, blood witch and thieves.
I loved witnessing the story unfold from each characters POV. I really got into the characters and felt like I was living the story with them!!
The story is paced quickly once you get into it, I loved the short chapters and also the banter in this book is fab.
Something standout out for me was the steampunk element, I think that’s the first time I’ve come across this in a fantasy book?!
I need book two now!!!

This was a great, lighter fantasy read! I really liked the mix of characters and the different POVs for each chapter —each character brought something different to the table, and their motivations all felt distinct and believable. The worldbuilding was interesting and well done.
I enjoyed the romance and spice elements, but I will say some of the build-up between couples felt a little quick. I would’ve loved just a bit more time to really feel the tension before things took off. That said, the connections were still enjoyable.
The storyline itself was really engaging without ever being confusing. The Crimson Shard as a shared goal between all these different characters worked really well, and I’m definitely curious to see where things go in the next book.

Another great read from Brittany! This story was easy to read and had so many amazing elements. Each of the characters, whose perspectives we get through the multiple pov, was well-written. They each played an important part in the plot and really aided in the unraveling of the story.
This is a fairly quick paced read that you can easily get immersed in, and it has elements that make it feel like a cozy fantasy with lots of emotions! The steampunk vibes were a great and unexpected addition. I'm looking forward to book 2 to see what adventure Brittany takes us on!

4.25 ⭐️ Loved the book! There was so much tension in this book and I loved that! Waiting for the truth to be revealed too was what kept me reading constantly. I hope there is more to the story as I’d love to see more of Rowena and zedock as well as seeing what the future holds for Ava and Kaegan and Malcolm is just a cocky legend and I can’t wait to see what happens with him. There was so much emotion in this book and the action at the end was gripping! Highly recommend! There is spice 🌶️🌶️ but I loved the story and plot.

This book was a FUN time!! From the first chapter, meeting each character Keagan, Avalon, Malcom, Rowena, and Zedock, having multiple POV’s, you’re absolutely captivated! Each character won a little piece of my heart! You can’t help to laugh and giggle at the banter! There’s never a dull moment in this book, it’s an adventure that each character goes through and I’m here for it!! The cliffhanger I was left on…. I am already excited and ready for the next book!
February 13, 2025
I honestly really enjoyed this book. It had just enough spice and action in it. The story was good and easy to follow. There were some things that happened that I didn’t see coming which is always fun. The slow burn was working. I am excited and hope I am able to read the next one. When the ebook comes out on Feb. 15-16 for ONLY .99 I encourage you to buy it so you can enjoy Ava and Keagan’s story as I did!!
February 23, 2025
This book was such a fun read. Keagan and Avalon make such a great pairing on their quest for the shard and the Syndicate adds a level of complexity to the intense world that Gossin has created.
One of my fave things from the book was the airship scenes that felt so much like the movie “Treasure Planet” from when I was a kid. I love the steampunk aesthetic of some of the scenes which adds a bit of a futuristic twist to a traditional fantasy world.
The twists of the book and the climax had me at the edge of my seat worrying about the characters.
I can’t wait to see what will happen next!

What do you get when you put a princess who doesn’t want an arranged marriage, a dragon shifter trying to save his people, and a small syndicate group all going after the same thing? You get an action packed, super fun read! I loved the multiple POVs which gave us all different view points without becoming confusing. The cliffhanger left me super pissed off! I might have to give a dragon shifter a good shake! I can’t wait for book 2 to get here!

This was tough to get through, there were so many names at first, you never really felt drawn in to any character. Everyone knew who this bitch was but the dragon the WHOLE TIME! It felt like trying to hit many tropes: dragons, witches, crime groups, a pirate ship, etc. The spice even felt awkward- was it lust or love?!
There was no world building or story building- you got thrown in with people for a journey.

it took me a minute to get into this book but after the first 20% i was hooked!
a blight broke out amongst the dragon people and the only way to save them is to obtain the shard containing blood witch magic. but it’s not that easy. with battles and journeys to obtain it this has it all!

arc copy..
this had major six of crow vibes but adding a dragon to it.
personally I liked six of crows better.
the magic system is intriguing enough but sometimes the multiple povs were a tad lacking?

3’5/5⭐️ First of all, thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for an arc of “Unbound”. I really enjoyed the plot of this book (mainly the fact that there’s dragon shifters and blood witches) and the different POV’s from the 5 main characters. The “main quest” was also pretty interesting too. I’m interested to see how the story develops so i’ll read the next book!

THE CLIFFHANGER?????? This book was so good! I thought it was a refreshing take on Fantasy and left me wanting more! The ending crushed me. That is all.
