I enjoyed some but not all the povs: one pov is a dragon/but it also has a human form. So fun. However some of the side characters povs wasn't as compelling and then the story felt very slow.

However I enjoyed the main povs, and the banter between the main characters Arcady and Everen. Also liked the use of pronouns. The characters are referred to they/them until otherwise is proclaimed. The plot was intriguing - you get all the good stuff, prophecies, conflicts and betrayals. I'm excited to read the next book.

I've seen other reviews taking about the writing style and how the author used different povs: first person, second person, third person etc (I’m not smart enough to understand what the author used HAHA). I find this very interesting. I felt something was different about the writing but couldn't explain what. And I think that is a testimony that the writing style worked well and I have nothing bad to say about the writing in this book.
