This book inspires people to try regardlessof your flaws
between how Violet figures a way to scale the gauntlet to her claiming her dragons
and finds her place in the complicated ethics or surviving a school. Where you either learn to fly or die trying

I really enjoyed the premise and I don't mind the obvious inspiration from The Dragon Riders of Pern and Harry Potter. I picked it up for what it was - a entertaining fantasy read. I liked the female protagonist who wasn't always incredibly strong and has a permanent disability. I liked the instances of meaningful loss and death.  But halfway through the book things started to disintegrate - the character development, the writing, pacing. The smut scenes were notably poorly written (maybe it fits the mentality and intensity of characters in their early 20s?). At 80% in I was supremely annoyed and almost DNF, but the last handful of chapters Yarros managed to revive the plot and I was satisfied enough to remain interested in what happens next.

compelling, despite the simplistic/repetitive prose. consent-conscious "enemies to lovers" is refreshing.

need a break from the author's style but will probably continue the series; maybe not in audiobook format though, the male narrator tries a little too hard to sound dark and edgy (the text has enough of that tyvm.)
