Rebecca Yarros really sat down and wrote a book which includes every possible trope ever. Manic pixie dream girl, not like the other girls, i’m no longer attracted to my best friend but i am attracted to the guy who wants to kill me. You’ll find all these and more. Also the ending is just the hunger games: catching fire.

Doesn't live up to the hype but it is a cute,  simple read for something that is military school for teens with dragons. The dragons are neat.
