By Rebecca Yarros
5 Stars
Ummm, wow! This book was amazing! Why did I wait so long to read it???
Rebecca Yarros spins a captivating tale about a Dragon War College (Basgiath) and an apparent underdog that surprises the reader at every turn! We meet Violet, who truly wants to be a Scribe, but her military mother forces her to enter the Dragon Quadrant instead. Violet has to pass a challenge that could easily end her life JUST to get into the college… no books or record keeping for her. She will have to learn how to fly on a dragon.
The entire book is filled with twists and turns, yet, it mixes with a strong and coherent story line. I never wanted to set this book down!
Do you like fantasy novels? Do you like a lot of action and/or adventure? What about dragons? If you answered yes to any of these questions you should read this book!

This has been the reaction I crave since Idris, from Mortal Instrument series.
I love the world building, the characters, their weakness and strenght. I lovevthe bonds between dragons and the idea of getting one. I want a dragon now. 😆

If you're into Fantasy, or want to dive into the world of fantasy this book is easy to read and follow. Nothing grand with the way of writing but there's something in it that would make you excited to what's coming next. Every flip of the pages is something worth pondering.
