I DNF’d at about 15%. I had too many questions and none of them were being answered. Why didn’t Violet fight her mother on joining the quadrant? She is in her 20s it wasn’t like anyone was forcing besides her mother which she had full rights to fight her mother on this she’s not a teenager. She just stood there while her mother is sentencing her to death. She did not have to go. Why did they have to climb the stairs and jump it had nothing to do with the becoming a rider that was explained? Why do they want to murder each other? If this is such an elite group why are they allowing them to murder each other? Why is Violet good with daggers? What was the rebellion about and why did they let the kids of the rebels join the school when they know it will make them ten times more dangerous if they end up graduating? Why do the dragons match with some people and kill the ones that they don’t match with? How come they have to wait a year to match with a dragon? I have so many more.
If I had these many questions less than a hundred pages in and more questions kept coming in my initial questions would not be answered.
Also, the dialogue was not the best. When Mira warms Violet from Xaden that actually could’ve been left out completely and Violet could’ve found out on her own.
