the scene where Mira finds out that Brennan is alive and punches him in the face lives in my mind rent free. That’s my girl lmao cause I would react the same way if I’d find out one of my sibling pretended to be death for the last six years. I’D BE LIVID.

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros Kapow, what a story! . . . Rebecca Yarros gives you gutsy young heroines and sexy bad boys' RACHEL HOWZELL HALL Terasaki, Kimberly (June 14, 2023). "Author of the Hottest Book of the Year Baffled by Whitewashed Fan Art". The Mary Sue. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits―and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.Friend or foe, as long as there's reciprocal respect, as long as educating others means patiently and kindly exposing facts and not trying to shove what you think is the truth down other people's throat, I'll more than gladly listen to anything you have to say. The continued world-building is fascinating. Like I said, this story is non-stop and that includes uncovering new information about the history and politics of this world. We now have a solid idea on what's really happening on the continent, however, there's still so many unanswered questions about the past (before the unification), the venin, and the Empyrean. I love this phase of a long series because there's still so much we don't know or understand, and I can't wait to see everything unfold and come together in the next few books. ⁠

Would Riorson let you rush into a battle against gods knows how many wyvern - or worse, the venin who created them - when you're wounded? This book was weak and boring, I wasted my time, once again, on reading a trashy overhyped book from an author whom I don't respect for their work nor for their political activism. Do better than me, save your time and money, skip this book!Of course, there were also other characters of whom I was really looking forward to seeing their story develop, but I didn’t get anything remotely satisfying when it came to them. Liam’s sister was only in a few scenes and in most of them she was just flat-out exasperating; everything about her character was anti-climactic.
