I wasn't a fan of how dumb Jae was in this book. His refusal to address the dreams was infuriating and the fact that he had to be told by Felix that Jace was grooming him to be his wingend was  just bizzare. The author really did do more telling than showing and her writing can be a tad, indelicate. 

Jae and Becka's lovestory is also a bit strange; weird choice to put a 17 year old in a 20+ year old body and have his love interest be 16. Jae's antiquated view to female dragon riders is also frustrating considering the fact that he himself would have been left out of the school based on bigotry. 

Overall still a good book though and the final revelation did have me "shocked Pikachu face".
