    Very nice artwork and good character development
    This review contains spoilers. The FL has a very nice pace of character development. I really wish she's able to flourish now that she has previous life memories and able to tell her mate about it. It depicts perfectly the PTSD and how complicated it's to heal the trauma and I appreciate that. I hope the FL has training in her magical powers too. The story so far is really nice. I'd appreciate some extra coloured pages too. They are beautiful

    I read the first couple chapters when I came it advertised and wasn’t sure if I wanted to spend the money to read the rest, but it was absolutely worth it! I adore this art style and Celeste’s character! He’s adorable, and so is Yui! I cannot wait for more to come from this series!

    Unexpectedly sweet!
    Didn’t expect to get this HOOKED!
    A former slave fighter is rescued by a dragonkin and their bond slowly grows into something really sweet. It starts heavy, but turns into a gentle and emotional story. Definitely WORTH CHECKING OUT if you like soft fantasy romance!

Review Spotlight!

Nittsu
Dramatic, Action-packed, and beautifully drawn!
There are plenty of titles floating around about destined mates and cheesy lines... but this is NOT one of those at all. This story has raw action, complex characters with traumas that need to be confronted by multiple parties, and really nuanced dynamics. The art is incredible and worth every page of reading!
