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*
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.

However, a wound would just scar or the person impacted would wind up dead. There wasn't an in between in terms of limbs lost or psychological trauma that would render them unable or unwilling to fight. Very minor in the scheme of things.
The world building was fantastic. I would have loved more immersion in some of the folklore. However, I loved the bonds that formed amongst the characters. It was a bit heartbreaking seeing Violet's relationship with Dane unraveling as the story went along an. I really did enjoy this book and will look forward to the next.
