Well it was a good read. But somehow it feel flat for me. Maybe i put a high expectations on getting the angsty. The actual misunderstanding from past life was resolve rather quickly like the betrothed candidates and the ring issue. I wish ML properly explain about his feeling in past live to FL (or did he? Cause i was skimming through the last 10 chapter). Then it feels draggy with 'i know you hate me but i want you to be happy'. And i somehow cannot feel their chemistry. Like the plot didnt reach me.
Spoiler... i guess....
I get where Bessa coming from, though it doesn't excuse for what he did. I mean there is no guarantee that the dragon will care for it people. What if some of the dragon is just tyrannical like yellow dragon. L
And i also understand Akelan POV, like dude was born and grow up with his parents for like a decade maybe. Then goes to slumber for centuries. Woke up and everyone he knew no longer there. Was forced to become emperor. Like his sole purpose of living is to find a mate and become the emperor.
It was a good sequel and has a good plot and does capture the post war after cayden coronation. but i need to remind myself not to read it again. I was traumatized for life. I think the sequel is more triggering than the first.

I was truly gasping for air with what they did to willie (he reminds me of leah's bro, littrel). Mind you i was at work and on a verge of tears. And RIP ganny











Its too draggy for me. Halfway thru it, i feel like it is losing the plot. They just adding random stuff in between like what is the actual end goal?
