I really wanted to rate this book higher as it has all the things I usually love about books - dragons, science, a really interesting premise, and an outspoken woman as the main protagonist. I loved the first half of the book. The worldbuilding really hooked me, and there was a lot of really strong characterisation that defined everyone's motivations. But it started to fall flat afterwards when the main plot took over, and I found myself skimming the last few chapters. I really didn't like the ending, either - it felt like the author was in a rush to wrap everything up.
