there are few books in this world where you can legitimately say the words "oh that is so fucked up" every 5 pages. this is one of them.

Tbh this book wasn't really anything that new or groundbreaking, I found it pretty predictable-- I still enjoyed it though! The military aspects, dragons, and characters were all really fun to read about and I liked the little quotes before each chapter (there are def hints for the next books in there idk what they are tho). The writing was kinda bad, but I'm here for a good time not a long time so it's fine.
