don’t get me wrong, i find dragons as hot as the next bitch... but this just ain’t worth it. the series seems to be caught in some sort of unhealthy relationship limbo, where the main couple is incapable of having a healthy, functioning relationship, but the author doesn’t want to commit to the bit and really knuckle down on exploring dysfunctional relationship dynamics (which actually could have been a really interesting story?). instead, there’s just a repeating cycle of fights and half-assed reconciliations.
series like this always remind me of andrea greb’s essay where she talks about how “Just because two people are capable of deeply hurting each other over and over again does not make them passionate, star-crossed lovers. It makes them two people who keep doing terrible things to each other.” i might be overly harsh bc this pushed a lot of my buttons, but i feel like this author forgot to make her main couple actually like the other person in her rush to make them fall in love.
