This is not the best book I've read, but it kept me captivated throughout and I am going to read the next one as soon as possible! Lots of cliches.

Okay okay, I know this is classed as romantasy which is not normally my bag, but dammit I am a sucker for a magic school, especially when bonding to dragons is involved. I thought the author did a good job with writing the main characters and building the tension between them

even when we know how it's going to end up eyebrows eyebrows

. There were twists and reveals that I was genuinely not expecting and the plot felt pretty solid. Yes, there were spicy scenes but not overwhelmingly so that I felt it detracted from the main plot, though I felt the main male character could have been a *touch* less horny

especially when Violet has just woken up from what is essentially a week long coma

. All in all I raced through this book and immediately got a copy of the next. A fun read for those who like magic, dragons, and war college.
