A fantasy like you've never read before."?Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away … because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Very predictable underdog beats the odds and even more predictable enemies to lovers plot line. The whole story was obvious already from the first 3 chapters, and I kept hoping for some unexpected twists, but never got them. Still the writing style kept interested enough to finish the book. This is for those who like romantic ya, not for the friends of high fantasy

Mielestäni hidastempoinen, ennalta-arvattava ja liian pitkä. En missään vaiheessa kokenut samaistuvani hahmoihin ja jätin kesken kun jäljellä olisi ollut noin 15%, ei vain jaksanut kiinnostaa loppu. En ymmärrä hypeä, kielikin on kliseistä. Olisi mielestäni kaivannut editointia ja tiivistämistä. Hyvää on mielenkiintoinen tarina, kirjoittamisen tyyli ja tarinan runko ei vain itselle napannut yrittämisestä huolimatta

Overhyped. The narrator was not the best, even a bit annoying to listen to. The book itself is ridiculous, every death is meaningless and theres a lot of it. "I'm not like other girls", main character is everyrhing but relatable and has been made "so special" in every way that it's not even fun. I'm still trying to give a chance for the Graphic Audio version, if it changes anything.

Works really well as an audio book. BIG thumps up for readers. And although there were some not so surprising twists in the plot, the story moves really well and the world the writer has created is splendid.

Mitä pidemmälle kirja eteni, sitä huonommaksi se muuttui. Alkupuolisko oli hyvä, minkä takia kuuntelin melkein loppuun, mutta lopulta hyvin ennalta-arvattava enkä kuunnellut viimeistä paria tuntia. Ja sitä paitsi huonointa smutia mitä olen ikinä kuullut, oli pakko hypätä kuuntelussa eteen päin koska nämä osat oli aivan älyttömän cringeä. Jotkut valitti arvosteluissa, että päähenkilöllä on parempia kykyjä kuin muilla/ että hän on erityinen, mutta itse pystyn katsomaan asian ohi (kyseessähän on päähenkilö, toimenkuvaan yleensä kuuluu että hän on spessu). Mutta hän on lisäksi aivan mielettömän ärsyttävä, mitä on vaikeampi sietää. Jos todella ällöttävä smut ja huono tarina on sun juttu, eiku kuuntelemaan.
