I finally read it! Was it overhyped? Maybe. Did I text all of my friends who read it, listen to two podcasts on theories almost immediately after finishing, and preorder the next book? Yes. 

 

I’ve mentioned before that my love for reading started with the Eragon series. So it was almost a guarantee that I would love this book for the dragons. Well here I am loving it for the bonds with said dragons, the magical-military school, smoldering sexual tension, representation that didn’t feel forced, detailed world building, and the twists and turns along the way. Plus, it definitely straddled the line between young adult and new adult, which made the characters more relatable. 

 

Here’s to binging the sequel!
