This book was weaker than books 1 & 3, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Rakos wasn't swoon worthy for me but I enjoyed Bellamy's character arc very much. He's by no mean my fav Tavia Lark character but he's not bad either.
The love story was a nice, credible slow burn. I have to emphasize in the "credible" because books 5 & 6 lack this particular endorsement lol

oh, and I love the sassy dragons. Not as much as the sassy cats... cats are still number one in my heart. The rat was not to my liking. A teleporting rat sounds nightmarish... I don't know what the author was thinking with that lol
