I basically wanted to see what the hype was all about and was quite surprised to actually like the book. It is quite loooooong tho.

Despite a slow and not great start
The book sex is not intrusive it maintains the usually pretty cringe aspects of most writing about sex, without being more than about 20 pages in total. I'm not sure why it has a big reputation as a smutty book tbh.
Plot wise, a few nice twists and clearly set up for the next in the series, but nothing revolutionary. A good winter comfort read with tea and biscuits. Don't expect something dazzling.

Curious as to how they are going to explain Andarna's change in physicality since humans don't seem to know that feather tails are babies and they think that they are a totally different breed.
Why can't unbonded dragons fight alone or in unbonded riots?
How and when did Violet become the best knife thrower? When did she practice this while training to become a scribe and while she only had 6 months to prep for being a rider?
If marked ones aren't allowed to meet or gather in groups of 3+ how did Xaden manage to get a full squad of marked ones together for War Games?? That alone should have been a tip off/red flag that something was going wrong, that higher ups allowed that.
Plot twists were easy to spot, easy to tell which characters had 'plot armor'. Narrators were fantastic for the audiobook, though I'm confused WHY we needed two of them when the POV switch is literally in the last couple of chapters and doesn't last long...
