  • What I liked: the story concept was really cool with the dragon army being an elite group of warriors to even survive long enough to GET a dragon and train with one. The school hierarchy was cool, too. 
  • What I disliked: overused the word 'ribs' (it really bothered me), excessive thirsting and the fact you immediately knew
    she'd go for the guy she was TOLD NOT TO GO NEAR OR BE MURDERED
    , the obvious 'oh she's so special' aspect where she not only survives but
    gets two dragons
    , and I didn't feel how she described chronic pain was accurate at all (though maybe it is for EDS, which I do not have). 
  • Overall thoughts: still not sure how I feel about the
    secret rebellion 
    and the mom being the 'bad guy' felt pretty obvious based on her disdain for her disabled child. 
  • Recommend to a friend? Maybe
