About 3.5-4 stars out of 5. 
 It was a good book but a bit underwhelming. It gave me an amateur-ish vibe. I loved the magical elements but I was expecting more. Like I was expecting the ambiance to be like The Night Circus, that's so majestically magical. 
 Also, the romance was soooooo underdeveloped. I wanted so much more. It's like the girl was just doing her own thing and the Dragon was just this grumpy guy that didn't want anything to do with her and then suddenly the next minute he kissed her. Like what. I think the romance should definitely be more developed, especially prior to kissing. Maybe show that he cares for her a bit, AT LEAST a bit. Some concern would be nice. 
 The world was cool. The Woods was creepy as hell, with the wolves and the walkers. 
 Would I recommend this book? Hmm yes, but just don't expect much. Don't go in thinking that you'll get tons of romance. 
 SPOILERS BELOW. 
 Honestly, this book is good but it would've been better if the romance was more developed. The idea is brilliant, where every 10 years The Dragon would pick a girl. Hence, I was excited and was gearing up for cute moments. Well, there were but it's so little. I feel like there's more feels between the lead girl and best friend. 
 I loved the scene where Agnieszka went back to her village to save it with Kasia and they were chased by wolves and The Dragon came in to save them and he was like "OUT OF ALL THE IDIOTIC THING YOU MIGHT HAVE DONE , YOU MONSTROUSLY HALF-WITTED LUNATIC OF A GIRL" aND HE GOT BITTEN AND Agnes transported them back to his tower and saved him by instinct and he wanted the formula and all hahahah. 
 Then Kasia was taken and she went to save her. That was awesome. Then the Dragon worked with Agnes, and it showed how compatible their magic were together. And I think he realised that then went to kiss her. I honestly think it was so sudden because he didn't show signs that he liked her then out of the blue he kissed her. 
 OHHH! I loved the scene where The Dragon, Kasia, Agnes, The Falcon, Prince Marek and his squad went into the Woods. IT WAS BLOODY AWESOME and it displayed how creepy and insane the Woods is. Loved every second of it. When the Dragon almost got taken and he told Agnes to kill him, set him on fire, I WAS LIKE NO PLEASE DONT. And out of 30 men, 2 survived. That's crazy! And the Mantis thing was insane! 
 They managed to get Queen Hanna out and I knew it was a trick, she cant be alright. And they had to bring her back to the castle and The Dragon had to go somewhere else. :( 
 The scene where Agnes figured it out was purely amazing! The corrupted book then the death of Ballo, then THE KING, THEN PRINCE VASILY THEN HIS WIFE THEN ALOSYA WAS INJURED! IT WAS BACK TO BACK MADNESS. BUT IT'S WHAT MADE THIS BOOK AWESOME. 
 IT WAS THIS PART OF THE BOOK I WAS DYING OF EXCITEMENT. DAMN AWESOME. FROM THAT MOMENT ONWARDS, SARKAN(THE DRAGON) CAME BACK and they fought against Prince Marek and the queen, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE WOOD QUEEN. WHAT. AND THEN SHE KILLED PRINCE MAREK. WHAT. BUT THEY MANAGED TO FIGHT HER. THEN AGNES HAD THE INSANE IDEA TO GO TO THE WOOD WITH SARKAN. WHAAAAAAT. 
 They went in and craziness ensues. Agnes go caught by the Wood queen and into a heart tree. From there, She learnt about the Wood queen and her sister. AND SARKAN CASTED SUMMONING ALONE TO SAVE HER OHMYGOD AND AGNES SAVED THE WOOD QUEEN AND HE SAVED AGNES AND THEY WENT BACK TO THE TOWER. 
 THEN, THEY WENT THEIR SEPARATE WAYS. :( He went to stop the spread of corruption and Agnes went to the Wood to save it from corruption. It was cute when she gave fruit to the walkers and they all started helping her.I loved how Kasia went to the castle with Stashek and became a knight. awesome man. 
 Then Agnes went back to her village, celebrating AND HE CAME BACK! SARKAN. OMG YESSS!! AHHH SO HAPPY 
 Anyways, it is a good book.
