This book served all the Hunger Games-meets-Harry Potter vibes. All the dystopian fantasy goodness with a bit of romance. The characters are absolute perfection! Violet’s journey made me feel like I was watching my favorite underdog win it all, and I’m SO team Xaden/Violet!!!

I read this book so fast, then immediately dove into the second because I must know what happens next. I even bought the audiobook because stopping to complete my daily tasks was clearly not an option.

And don’t even get me started on the bonus points for Rebecca Yarros being a certified Swiftie! You know I was streaming Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince like it was the book’s official soundtrack. I had full-body chills and major "first read as a kid" energy the whole time.

It’s Divergent with 2-3 spicy scenes. It’s not as smutty as some of the reviews made it seem, and though the actually interesting conflict didn’t come into play until 3/4 of the book, it did set up the sequel to be more interesting. There were some smaller twists but the biggest ones had pretty obvious breadcrumbs leading to them. I liked the disability representation, but the descriptions of how hot Xaden is EVERY TIME Violet sees him gets old quickly, especially before they actually start to have any semblance of a bond. It was fine.

Not high literature, but a really fun read. Classic YA format, but with dragons and spice.

Main focus is a war with dragon riders against gryohon riders, so we get (very few) scenes with deaths of each. MC is in a brutal war college, where students are dying and killing each other constantly.
