I flipped to the back of the book shortly after starting to read Dragon Rejected, then kept flipping ahead as I continued reading it. I wanted to see how much longer before she got her dragon, or when she'd get rejected, etc etc. 

It was a LITTLE slow going for the first half, but I understand it was laying out the groundwork. 

<Spoiler>
Kaida didn't get her dragon when she turned eighteen like most people do. After a month and still no sign of it, she was getting pretty depressed. Her parents bring word that the prince wants to meet her and the other four daughters of the main families to possibly pick out his future queen. It ends up they're fated mates, but she has to keep that she's dragonless a secret. He seems like he'd accept her no matter what, so she's confident this will be fine. His parents seemed against her from the start, however, and when it's finally confirmed she has no dragon, she's sent to the Outlands.

Here, she meets some wonderful friends, but also meets four elemental dragon princes, one in particular who's on a power trip. They want to take over the throne where she came from and want her help to do it. In return, they'll help her unlock her dragon.

I'm curious to see how the hot-headed dragon of the four in particular can get his head out of his rear and get over himself!
