Repetitive things I did not enjoy:
- mentions of gold flecks
- "good point" "fair point" "s/he has a point" (you could make a dangerous drinking game with this one)
-
- mentions of brows doing things.
- Mentions of "he gave me [such and such look that makes her horny] but noooo we aren't thinking about that right now"
This book is like if someone took Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series, removed the good worldbuilding, added even more racist stereotypes, combined it with the Divergent style revolution (not the well thought out Hunger Games one), got the sex scenes written by a Gena Showalter wannabe, then threw it in the dryer on high to felt. Like yeah I guess it was entertaining but it was kind of like a train wreck. Like others have said, this feels ripped right from wattpad.
I will be reading the next book.

The story follows Violet, daughter of the infamous General Sorrengail, who is forced by her mother to become a dragon rider (and not as she intended a scribe like her father). Forced to go through the cruel and deadly school for dragon riders, Violet's life gets a lot more difficult. But her quick wit and empathy help her make some good friends who'll stand by her side (and she may even make friends she had not expected).
I liked the fact that Violet was not the typical heroin who was caught between two men - she was quite capable of deciding that one of them would suffocate her (despite how much he might like her). Although she could be somewhat annoying in how often she repeated how hot a certain someone was. There was also one scene towards the end where I was expecting a catastrophe, but Violet surprised me again by remaining level-headed (as much as was possible in this situation).
The end throws a curve ball at you and there are SO MANY questions left unanswered. But most of all I would like to know what happened to the rest of Fourth Wing!
