Cozy Reading Room

What more can I say than WOW! I adored this book and I think Zad and Tia are my new obsession, I’m so excited to see where this trilogy takes us. This was a beautifully written story of love, found family, loss and acceptance and I loved every second of it.

Tia is doomed by the gods to be hunted by a dragon and face a set of perilous trials that no-one has ever survived before. Throughout the book there’s a real sense of mourning for the life she has lived and will never get to live once the trials are over and it’s so heartbreakingly beautiful to witness the journey she goes on as she faces her impending doom.

The FMC Tiadola is an absolute breath of fresh air! She’s a 300-year-old immortal (who I believe appears to be physically in her 30s). She’s such a strong and wonderfully crafted character, and she feels so gritty and real in her actions. Her reactions to situations and conflicts make sense and didn’t leave me feeling frustrated, she keeps a cool head and you can really feel her thinking things through. She’s understandably sad but she’s not bitter about the hand she’s been dealt in life, and she’s so fiercely protective and selfless when it comes to those she cares about.

The MMC Zadrohn was an AMAZING character as well. Whilst he may not always agree with Tia’s decisions, he’s continuously supportive, respectful and understanding at every turn and I love him for it. He encourages her to keep being true to herself and doing what she believes is right and reminds her that he will be there to follow her no matter what.

Their relationship was such a joy to watch grow and evolve over time and I love that they actually communicated and talked things through with one another. They start building up from friendship to a slow burning romance and every moment of it was perfection and left me wanting more (in a good way)!

Overall I think if you’re a lover of dragons, trials, strong characters and all things romantasy, this is definitely the book for you!
