Loved the pacing and dragons, everything else was bad. Bad worldbuilding, barely has a plot, huge sagging middle issue, things happen just because the author wants them to, MC is super special for no (good) reason, school is dangerous for no (good) reason, I could go on. Ignoring technical issues, this book is the Frankenstein's monster of all the dystopian fantasy YA/NA bad Hunger Games clones from ten years ago. If you want more of the same, you will love this. If you don't wanna read the same book for the twenty-third time but with more sex and less logic, skip this. It's a global phenomenom all right...just in how phenomenal it is that this book is so popular and has such a high average star rating.
