I’m a sucker for a dystopian, fuck corrupt government, the bad guys might be the good guys story and this one is no exception. Toss in some spice, some romance, some high fantasy and fucking dragons? I’m hooked. Holy moly.

The first third was so aggravating I nearly gave up. I can understand both why people hate and love it. I fall somewhere in the middle. The author seemed to struggle with consistency and clarity. The only reason I could follow anything was because of the revised map and an illustration explaining squad structure that was in the second book. I could tell this first book was rushed to publication. While I was able to see most of the plot twists coming they were still enjoyable. Battle sequences were fun. Romance is a delight. The dude characters we spend the most time with are loveable. It's exactly middle of the road for me. Lot of issues but lots of good components as well. I'll be reading the sequel if only to satisfy by curiosity.

What an ending! I like how the dragons have their own voices and aren’t just animals the humans use. I was onboard with Violet’s character for most of the book, but the parts where I wasn’t was when her resolve just didn’t fit her character.
