A really solid start to a fantasy series! Loved the magic system and the pace of the reveals. The romance was age-appropriate for the characters, but some of the writing was a little too modern. For example, Violet often thinks Like. This. For. Emphasis. It’s internet speak and very out of place in a fantasy world. Past that, I really enjoyed the plot and I’m looking forward to reading the next book!

This book inspires people to try regardlessof your flaws

between how Violet figures a way to scale the gauntlet to her claiming her dragons

and finds her place in the complicated ethics or surviving a school. Where you either learn to fly or die trying

compelling, despite the simplistic/repetitive prose. consent-conscious "enemies to lovers" is refreshing.

need a break from the author's style but will probably continue the series; maybe not in audiobook format though, the male narrator tries a little too hard to sound dark and edgy (the text has enough of that tyvm.)
