A fantasy like you've never read before."?Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away … because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Holy Father and holy spirit! I have no idea what to read next... I'm afraid nothing can top this. I think I'm being thrown in a reading slump BC I will not find something like this until the next book comes!

Ik ben net begonnen en ik ga mijn review aanvullen, maar klinkt de voorlezer super verkouden en beetje benauwd of ligt dat aan mij? 😅Ps. Kon er niet meer tegen, heb je fysieke boek gekocht. Schrijfstijl is matig, verhaal is vermakelijk.

a bad combination of Hunger Games, how to train your dragon and one of those overly romantic books. The characters are rediculous and the killing of adolescents is romanticized. I wanted to quit, but then I had to admit that it was a easy past time. Something like eating French fries. You know it is bad, still tastes good though. I liked the last few sentences, though utterly unlikely.

Goede fantasy page turner! Een van de beste die ik de afgelopen jaren heb gelezen. Manier van omschrijven en de voortgang van het verhaal was super, al wel op één moment errggg expliciet (voor mij net té). Ik moest mij wel even over de toon van de voorlezer heen zetten, deze klonk voor mij een beetje verkouden. Al met al zeker een aanrader!

Leuk op het begin, maar vind de voorlezer na de helft van het boek gênant intens voorlezen.

Heb dit boek in 3 dagen uitgelezen (ja, dat is gemiddeld meer dan 6 uur per dag) omdat ik het niet weg kon leggen! Echt top boek en goed voorgelezen!
