This gave me Hunger Games meets Divergent vibes, but it took me most of the book before I finally recognized the dystopian setting.
There was lot of cliche moments in this book…good girl falls for the bad boy, the most unlikely person imaginable becomes the hero/heroine, etc.
There was also a lot of good character development and evolution, twists, action and it’s not hard to make observations connecting to current world actions.
Not gonna lie though, I found Violet a tad annoying for most of the book, but she did grow and evolve.
The spicy, was spicy, but also felt kinda chaotic and very different than many spice moments in other books. On that same note, the chaos fits the age and environment.
Now on to what I love….the dragons.
Who doesn’t love a grumpy dragon?
I’ve read a couple books recently with dragons as major characters. Some of them sought to do what Yarros did here, link dragons with humans. Where they failed to do it well, Yarros did a pretty good job creating a believable scenario where dragons and humans coexists in a mutually (mostly) beneficial way. I loved how well the dragons were described and even had their own interpersonal dynamics.
