World building felt incomplete.

For example, they mentioned the different types of wyvern in Fourth Wing and no one elaborated when they could finally talk freely in Battle Brief and other classes, where you'd think they'd learn about the enemy with whatever information they had but not a single mention of the different wyvern happens until during the final battle. Not to mention they received books on venin from the Viscount and no one read them or mentioned what information was in there.

There were many incomplete ideas. I think this had potential but the execution just didn't hit. I also wish there was more real character development.

An easy read, as the Fourth Wing but not as fun. But still an enjoyable read for those in "zero thoughts" state.

Unless you need substantive books and worldbuilding has to make sense. Because this series is a joke in this department. Don't go too deep into this series because it's an ultimate bamboozal.

It's over 600 pages, but you won't go deep into dragon lore or the politics of the continent. Instead there are chapters upon chapters about Violet being jealous. Everything is predictable, the big reveal at the very end is not surprising. 

Just read it for the dragons. Dragons are awesome. This book is not.
