MC has such an inconsistent personality it's annoying but I've stuck through 3 installments so I just want to see how it ends atp. My pet peeve is strong characters with the emotional intelligence of toddlers. Literally kills the immersion every time.

So far it's a short but dense read. Progress is slow because each chapter is thought provoking. It's definitely a book that requires extra time for reflection and contemplation. I'd definitely recommend this book to people who journal.

It started strong and has been waning in quality ever since. Female MC is super smart, crafty and capable... except when it comes to blatantly sketchy employers and family relationships. It's so bad its unignoreable. DNF.

I don't think I'll be reading past book one.
Cons: Flat characters that are brilliant enough to be high ranking in their respective fields yet have comically lacking decision-making skills. Further demerits for forced, unexplained romantic relationship between the two protagonists. No one falls that deeply in love with a dangerous stranger in three days.
Pros: Interesting premise, world-building has potential

Strike 2: MC has impared common sense and self preservation instincts despite lifelong warnings.

So we're just going to gloss over the fact that a secret order of dragon hunters employs child soldiers? Dude said he fought his first dragon at 14. Annnd that's strike one for a dnf
