The second in the Bloodwing Academy series is compelling and well-paced.
I really enjoyed scenes with Neville! He is my favorite in the series!
I really enjoyed Medra's & Nyxaris bonding times.
The choices that main characters did was.... I hope they will learn from their mistakes!
Now Blake can shift to a dragon????
Florence is going to survive???? and become a bada** dragon rider????
Briar!!! you can't leave us hanging like that!!! we need book three ASAP!!!

Wow, the world-building in The Bond That Burns continues to grow richer and more complex, especially with the intricate dynamics between dragons, highbloods, and dragon riders. While I enjoyed the story, I really wanted more of Blake, and I was relieved that his bullying didn’t drag on for too long. However, some of the decisions both Blake and Medra make weren’t exactly what I hoped for. Still, the political intrigue and deeper understanding of family motivations kept me hooked. Can’t wait for book 3!
