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.

Interesting world and story. Well written but with a very cliche and predictable love story that takes up too much time and is the least interesting part of the book.

Boken var bra, men hade kunnat vara ännu bättre. 1. Personligen tror jag boken hade tjänat på ett tredje handsperspektiv från flera olika håll. Världen och dess uppbyggnad var otrolig och intressant; då var det synd att begränsas till endast Violets perspektiv.2. Språket var konstigt modernt med alldeles för många och onödiga ”fuck” till höger och vänster. Tyckte det störde mer än det tillförde något.3. Romansen tog upp för mycket plats på slutet och sexscenerna var sjukt långa och obekväma.4. Violet blev alldeles för speciell/kraftfull/fantastiskt, vilket känns tröttsamt och lite tråkigt.Vill jag läsa nästa del? Ja, absolut.

Oh My GodThis book is everything you want, not a single boring chapter. Action, politics, romance, dragons, true friendships, childhood traumas, magic - you name it. 10/10 storytelling, can’t wait for the second one

Börjar habilt som helt ok ungdomsfantasy - för att mot slutet bli ungdomserotik. Gillar man det - kör på! För min del blev kasten för tvära. Fantasydelen var dock bra - och borde ha fått fortsätta vara huvudstory.

I get it and I agree!Everyone said this will be the best book of the year and they were not wrong.Violet is an amazing character with a big heart. Thanks to her father she’s avoided to be jaded and sees good instead of judging. The story starts off from page one and it’s a ride you don’t want to get off until the whole book is done. And if I hade the second book, I would start it immediately. There’s not one moment of boredom and it’s just masterfully written. The characters are older (20-23 years old) but the only thing that makes me think of this as an NA is the spice. It still feels a lot like an upper YA book. There is spice but not much at all. It did feel a little bit weird since it felt like a YA book. But it was still done really good. If you wonder, I would not at all classify this as a dark fantasy. This will definitely be one of the greatest books of 2023 so read it!

 Om de hade lagt ner lika mycket tid på storyn som de gör på sex i boken så hade det kanske varit bra

Mary Sue and Gary Stu went on a horny romp through Fantasylandia in a shameless cash grab, regurgitating toxic romance misconceptions.
