I'm a book hipster. I really, really didn't want to read this book because it was so hyped. However, the Overdue Podcast did an episode on it and they were HYPING it UP. And I don't trust their tastes with everything, but all the things they said they liked about it were things that I like in a book...so I found it second hand and finished it in a week. Look, all I can say is...I understand the hype. 
I thought Violet was great and I loved everything about her disability. I loved Tairn and Andarna and... let's not forget Liam and Xaden <3 
The angst man...the angst. 
Liam is the best. You can't tell me nothing. 
Dain sucks. 
I need more Tairn in my life. 
That is all.

This book reads like a fantasy-flavored reimagining of Divergent. It's a fun read that feels predictable throughout. If you're looking for a romance novel and you like a fantasy setting, this might be a good option. If you're looking for enemies to lovers and LGBTQI+ representation - I would look elsewhere.

I’m so glad the love triangle didn’t last long and I LOVE the dragons. I can’t wait to learn more about them and the world in the next book.

Addictive read. Loved the magic system and characterizations. The high stakes nature of the war college (and the EXTREME sexual tension) kept me on edge the entire time. Audibly gasped and squealed several times!
