Well that was an absolute vibe.
Unique world and storyline complete with all of those addictive tropes. Was the mind to mind communication, segregated career school, shadow-wielding powers, and tattooed bodies among other things unoriginal? Absolutely, but they all make sense to the world in a way that is acceptable to me. The dragon abilities and banter are unexpectedly awesome. Love the chronic illness representation. There were and are a lot of kept secrets and hidden clues that made this so fun to read and set up a lot of excitement for the rest of this series. This will be a fun one to theorize about. Pre-ordered the next book even before finishing.
