gidaehada's review against another edition
3.0
3.5 stars.
I didn't hate this book as much as I thought I would, honestly, but that didn't mean there weren't things I disagreed with. Now I will say that I got a major sense of nostalgia from this good because it felt like an older version of How To Train Your Dragon which I grew up with. The characters weren't too bad and the concept was pretty good. I can see why people did enjoy this when it first came out.
Now for the things I hated. The first one... my god the writing needed some work. There were so many things the editor and copywriter could've fixed. There were sentences that needed to be rewritten and paragraphs that couldn't have been completely taken out. I didn't need every little thing described to me in intense detail. It just wasn't necessary.
Violet also annoyed me a little bit. I think if she complained less and communicated with those around her more I would've liked her more.
I will be checking out book 2 but not anytime this month

This book is incredible. I loved it so much that I’m reading the second one. The INSANITY at the end though.. never saw it coming
