The premise was really good.

The trials were captivating and thankfully took up the required space in the book to make it feel worth it. The stakes were kept high thanks to them! 

I LOVE how important the dragons were to the plot. They weren’t stuffed into the little box of only a mount and nothing more. The idea of dragons having their own governing council is just really awesome! 

The magic is complex and interesting. I found how the history of the kingdom to be put forth to readers in such a unique way of a bookish coping mechanism of our FMC. I laughed about her reciting kingdom history to calm her nerves.
