3.0

I LOVE dragons, but I don' t really get the hype around this book. It was nice to have a heroine with a disability (connective tissue disorder?), but predictably she spent most of the book having to convince the men around her that she was capable. If this is something you experience in life, it might be draining to read.

I was honestly disappointed by the end of the book. It completely veres away from the plot and more or less only focuses on the romance.

If you want to read an amazingly built world with multidimensional characters, I highly recommend Brandon Sanderson, especially the Stormlight Archive series. 

This book was fun but I enjoyed it the same way I enjoyed Sharknado. I can see why some less experienced readers would love it too. It was written so that young female readers will identify themselves with the "not like other girls" protagonist and if that's your cup of tea, go for it. It has cool fight scenes, Mexican novel levels of drama, and smutty scenes worthy of AO3. It's a light read and made me laugh with all the cringy dialogue and obvious plot twists. I'm giving it 4 stars because it fulfilled my need for a popcorn book.

What an ending! I like how the dragons have their own voices and aren’t just animals the humans use. I was onboard with Violet’s character for most of the book, but the parts where I wasn’t was when her resolve just didn’t fit her character.
