It’s getting hard to focus on the book. It feels as though there’s not really a plot. I’m reading bits and pieces of interactions with other characters or small moments that the main character experiences but nothing feels like it’s moving the plot forward.

Fast paced, but also not? Really reminds me of Eleanor Oliphant and I Hope This Finds You Well.

Perhaps Im picking up these types of books and protagonists unintentionally haha

So far the MC is instantly unlikeable; she comes off as a bitter woman who hates her life and is taking out (unhealthily) on everyone. She needs a new coping mechanism. Very much reminiscent of Eleanor Oliphant but more angsty.
She made a comment about another coworker's smelly food in the office. I would hate to see what she'd say if it was someone's ethnic food they brought and not a caesar salad.

Im gritting my teeth reading through this. Its like an angsty teenager who read too many wattpad bad boy fanfics wrote this.

A few sentences to sum the book so far:
Power HUMS through me as I clutch my daggers RAAAAHGHHH
*slams bond shut*
MiNe 🐺🥀☠️
*someone else slams bonds shut*
Sarcastic comedic breaks at serious moments (gets real stale)

This is one of the first actual thrilling/suspenseful books I've read in a long time (that doesn't explicitly state blood/gore/etc). It gives that feeling, black mirror as a book.

The writing is amazing, the pacing is great, the cover is cute haha. I'm on the edge of my seat with each word I read.

I couldn't continue the book, there were too many running sentences and commas. I wanted to read a book about female friendships but this writing style, I just couldn't...

You will love this book if you love referring to the glossary every 3 sentences. I'm sure it's great, but it's such a difficult read to keep up with

The dragons are really the best part of this book lol

"She makes a good point," Andarna agrees. "Can you carry a luminary?"
"That question insults me."
"Can you carry a luminary while insulted?" she prods.

Lots of things to Google off the jump. I didn't know this book was a prequel.

Varrish is like a really bad villian. Telling his grand plan and all that. He reminds me of that villian from Kim Possible. He's so cartoonish.

The pacing really picks up. I actually prefer it to Iron Flame. It's a smooth logical progression, even if it is slower than the first book. The stakes seem more realistic and daunting vs. the whole America Ninja Warrior bit in Book 1 lmfao

The beginning of the book is a bit of a hard read. I'm really enjoying it from the section Bad Days though. I can't put it down.
