Although the book is paced in a way that could be engaging, I found it re-used some of the worst tropes from other dragon rider books in a way that they were criticized for in the past and didn’t do anything new. I was nearly a did not finish because i couldn’t connect with the story, but people told me it got better. I am not sure if it did get better, it just got more!Graphic: Bullying, Gaslighting, Sexual assault, Chronic illness, Ableism, Adult/minor relationship, and Sexual content
