Review
Ok so, this was my first time read by Katie MacAlister and I’m still trying to sum up thoughts towards this book. I’m such a sucker for dragon shifter reads, so it was a no brainer to give this one a try. I so, soooo wanted to like this, but there were some things that just wasn’t work for me.
For me, it started off a bit slow and it didn’t seem like it was going anywhere. Between Archer and Thaisa, I liked Archer slightly a bit more. I couldn’t quite pin down the kind of character that Thaisa was, she kind of read to me like a very young and sometimes immature heroine and other times, very much like an adult. However, I really loved what her job was and the fact that she knew many languages, which served up some hilarious moments with Archer was speaking a language he didn’t think she’d know!
Archer is every bit of an alpha and can’t take no for an answer. He’s bossy to a fault, which can be a hang up for some readers, but it wasn’t a huge issue for me.
There’s definitely a lot going on in this story and it constantly felt like I was being ping-ponged across a table and I wasn’t exactly sure what direction it was going. Things definitely pick up in the end, but I was hoping for a bit more fine tuning with the plot.
I thoroughly enjoyed the steamy scenes between them both, we see a different side to the both of them especially Thaisa. The way she was with him during these moments were very different from her everyday character.
Thaisa is every bit a quirky character, but her heavy doses of word vomit seemed to happen at the most inconvenient times. I wanted to connect with her more, but just couldn’t.
For the most part, I was enjoying some of what I was reading, but there were things here and there that just threw me off and found it hard to recover. I don’t want to give up on this series because it could definitely develop into something amazing!
Major thank you to Forever for the advance reader’s copy!
