Alright, I enjoyed my time with this book more than I expected and I have to admit that it definitely has some addictive qualities, but I wasn't blown away by it. 
Very YA, didn't like the writing style, logic holes, plot twists weren't particulary surprising/shocking, but ...I liked it anyway^^ I felt entertained and distracted from reality, so that's a win. I came to like some characters as well as dialogues (Violet and her dragon!), so I'm looking forward to further developments.
3,75 is a good rating, so I will continue with the series.

Okay, I really, really enjoyed this book and found myself hooked on it quite often. At the end I was so thrilled that I simply had to finish it, even if this means that I will be very tired tomorrow, haha. I can't await to read the next book - love it.

Hahaha, oh man, what a wild ride. An enjoyable fever dream which is not for the faint of heart(slasher/American Psycho/hockey romance (??), ...).
Anyway, I liked it and are therefore worried about my state of mind :D
