Honestly I can't find myself liking the plot. It randomly jumps form one thing to another and right now the only description we truly have of violets personality is her thinking she's small and weak yet being smart. But we get reminded of that often, and its boring me.

This brought me out of my book slump and i read it in less then a week which is super fast for this working single mom. i feel in love with the characters and story. it was a page turner for me. the world building was great. it didn’t think i’d love a book about a dragon war college as much as i did.

There were parts I hated, parts I found OK and the ending redeemed it all. I think it's better to take nothing seriously while reading this book and once you have fun with it it becomes truly enjoyable.

Listened to the graphic audio book. I am a “skimmer” and I know I would have struggled paying attention through some of these chapters with all the lore, strategy talk, history, etc. 

This is a great book if you like dragons, war/battle strategy, romance,  warrior school, and a woman who absolutely refuses to die. 

*SPOILERS - mild mentions throughout here on out*

If I had read this I don’t think it would have hit as hard. My one gripe with the actual writing was the last battle in the book. I get the point of showing the gravity of the situation, and maybe I am just a little bit miffed at the loss suffered from that battle and it’s making me hyper critical but the fact our MC did not clock the solution to the fight faster was infuriating. Maybe that was a plot device to show the stress of the moment and their inexperience but I’m pissy about it and it’s my review. I’m knocking half a star off because of that and the fact that homegirl suffers the emotional flip flop syndrome when she’s been nothing but forgiving and understanding for the rest of the book. Other than that! LOVED IT! 

Had to get the bad out there first. Here’s what I love and I’m gonna TRY to keep it light on spoilers but I can only do so much. 

1. A girlie with a chronic illness having the willpower to be stronger and better despite having an easy out. Could not be me and I love her for it. 
2. Mysterious shadow man with a heart will always be my downfall. 
3. The fact the other love interest played out like it did. Oooooooo I cannot tell you how much that man pissed me TF off from day one. If there was a “two lovers and I have to choose” trope I would have stopped reading. I really just want to read more to see his downfall. 
4. The ending was so good. It made me want to start reading the next one pronto (even though based on the context leading up to it, I kind of saw it coming). 
5. It was hot. Yeah I was blushing and kicking my feet several times.
 

All in all I would recommend this in a heart beat.
