I picked up this book because my sibling loved it. I'd already postponed it for months bc I don't like dragon books. At least, that's what I thought.
This was actually a really good book. It's really well phased and so much happened. I was rooting for that slowly building relationship from early on too. It really kept the tension up. Toxic af and acknowledged, but it works in books waayy to well.
The beginning gave me divergent book 1 vibes with the training sequences and love interest, just with more violence.
I also loved all the surprises I didn't see coming.
So yes just finished this a minute ago and yes yes yes next book is a must read indeed.
May round up or down later. Need to digest more. I'm sweating after finishing the last 100 p in a sitting this morning.

It's good. I love the focus on female friendships and different ways of being a woman. I also was very angry at every man in this book, as I am supposed to be. I started it and then I lost a lot of my interest. May just be a reading slump. The book isn't bad, but it's not keeping me on an edge either. Thus, dnf ing it for a while.

SANDERSON NEVER DISAPPOINTS.
This was so good. I finished Starsight before Yule and jumped into Defiant last week. Having spent days in this universe in a short amount of time, I am so in love with it. The characters, the snails, the worldbuilding, the story. This series had me from book one (nearly lost me at book 2), but got me back and held me for book 3 and 4. I even started watching star wars because of it, and they feel similar in many ways (loving both)!!
I am an extremely picky scifi reader. I don't read scifi bc I think machines and scary and dumb, and don't particularly like ships, but Sanderson gave them all so much personality and empathy and... It just BLEW ME AWAY.
YES to this book.
