This gave me Hunger Games meets Divergent vibes, but it took me most of the book before I finally recognized the dystopian setting.

There was lot of cliche moments in this book…good girl falls for the bad boy, the most unlikely person imaginable becomes the hero/heroine, etc.
There was also a lot of good character development and evolution, twists, action and it’s not hard to make observations connecting to current world actions.

Not gonna lie though, I found Violet a tad annoying for most of the book, but she did grow and evolve.
The spicy, was spicy, but also felt kinda chaotic and very different than many spice moments in other books. On that same note, the chaos fits the age and environment.

Now on to what I love….the dragons.

Who doesn’t love a grumpy dragon?

I’ve read a couple books recently with dragons as major characters. Some of them sought to do what Yarros did here, link dragons with humans. Where they failed to do it well, Yarros did a pretty good job creating a believable scenario where dragons and humans coexists in a mutually (mostly) beneficial way. I loved how well the dragons were described and even had their own interpersonal dynamics.

It was fine. Felt a bit like the author wanted to emulate a high fantasy book, without any of the thought that goes into world building. There is also some unexpected graphic sex scenes in the last act of the book. It was an odd choice to throw them in near the end and it completely took me off guard. The style of the main characters inner monologue is a complete diversion of the genre. Makes for an easy read, but depletes the beauty of a fantasy book for me. One thing I did really appreciate was the main characters personality. She is upfront with her emotions and this means the book avoids the usual annoying tropes in romances (like when characters misunderstand each other and an issue could easily just be resolved by having a conversation). Violet is confident. She knows her own mind and worth. All in all it's a decent book to pass the time, but if you think about the plot for more than two minutes it all falls apart. Also you can see the plot twists coming a mile away.

SPOILERS INCOMING

“This is what six months of intense physical training has given me - the ability to barely climb six flights of stairs with a thirty pound pack”

BEM. Que livro.

Primeiramente quero agradecer aos meus dois amigos que literalmente me chatearam a cabeça o tempo todo desde antes dos meus exames acabarem para ler isto. Já tinha ouvido falar, mas nunca tinha tido muito interesse em ler - depois dos pleads e cries e coisas do livro que me contaram (e de me emprestarem os livros 2 e 3 para me obrigarem a ler), decidi give in.

A típica história de uma rapariga que se diferencia dos outros numa escola - mas desta vez, ela diferencia-se com uma razão, e não é uma escola qualquer. Esta história bem construída num mundo fantástico com dragões e signets, é o alívio de toda a gente farta de ler coisas com miscommunication e heroínas com “main character syndrome”, que nao são self aware delas mesmas e parece que perdem metade da inteligência em algumas situações.

“They tend to cremate anyone they find rude”

As coisas que acontecem têm de facto uma justificação e fazem sentido, e don’t get me wrong, sofri imenso, at some point já nem queria ler, e só assumi que só ficava pior pq eu pior já não podia ficar, mas não é aquela cena chata que obviamente poderia ter sido logo fixed se alguém tivesse self awareness.

Montes de personagens são loveable (outros queres que morram logo mas é sempre assim 🤷‍♀️), e os diferentes bonds com os dragões e dinâmicas que daí saem, para além das entre os próprios personagens são super interessantes. Na minha opinião, o mundo está bastante bem desenvolvido.

“Monitoring the sex lives of first-years was not what I had in mind when I applied to be a squad leader”

Agora deixem dar o average crash out. Muitos spoilers incoming, dps don’t say I didn’t warn you 😛
