REREAD 1/9/25
This was so good. It was even better the 2nd time around. I had forgotten about the Venon and the Wyvern. The end and the death was still soul crushing and worse because I knew it was coming.
I don't understand why there is so much hate for this book when it's so amazing (at least to me)
I needed this book. I was in a terrible slump and this book pulled me out of it. I figured early on who Violet was going to fall for but it's okay by me.

Violet Sorrengail & Xaden Riorson
This book was an experience. I was on the edge of my seat throughout, there wasn't a boring moment. I went in thinking adult, but it felt semi-YA, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment.
I knew from the moment Xaden's name was mentioned there was going to be some sort of connection between him and Violet, more than what she was led to believe.
Why would a mother be so cold as to send her daughter, who is or seems to be a bit fragile to join the Riders Quadra ...more

I loved it. Sure there are other books out there with better worldbuilding but I fell in love with the characters and the plot. The dragons are awesome, Xaden and Vi together...explosive, that ending...Shook. I saw it coming but damn, it still punched me in the gut. I'm glad i came late to this book so i have only a couple of days wait for the 2nd in the series.

I could see a lot of things coming, but still had a lot of fun getting there.

Some parts were really good but others were almost torture. It started out slow. I almost made it a DNF after chapter 3 but I had read such good reviews I had to keep going.
There were way to many lines of her wanting to kiss him and I admit I skimmed through the long drawn out love fest that seemed to go on forever.
I don’t know if I’ll read the next book if it’s another 500 pager.

Wow. I need Book 2 right now. There were some things that annoyed me in here, or caused an eye roll, so 4.5 is the official rating. But the speed at which I read this, and the need to pick it up the second I could overpowered the minor annoyances.
This reminded me so much of Divergent and I loved that book so much. This gave me all those feels, but had dragons in the mix. Oh how I loved the dragons. I have more to say. It will formulate thoughts later.

This book has been getting so much hype. The story itself is a super generic YA fantasy. It was incredibly predictable. However, I LOVED the disability representation. The accommodations and how she's treated took this book from a 3 to a 4 star for me.
