This is an adult fantasy with a romance sub genre set at a war college, Basgiath, but still very academic based. The end goal of the 3 year’s at this college is to survive, as the things they will go through are designed to weed out the weak. The story is from Violet’s POV. She is “voluntold” by her mother, a general, to compete to become a rider who is one of the elite.
Violet being very small and “fragile” is not the typical dragon rider so everyone assumes she is not going to be successful, however she is extremely intelligent and witty.
Here enters Xaden- something…or I guess someone… else Violet is going to have to work around to survive. But the man is tall, dark, handsome and dangerous. Don’t get your hopes up for some enemies to lovers shenanigans though, I never would have predicted the way this would go.
The romance is very low in the book, maybe a 1/10 total, but the small amount had me losing it like a love struck fool.
The dragons are somehow my favorite part. Being able to know each of their personalities and listen to Violet get absolutely roasted at any chance is just delightful.
The ending of this book shook me to my core and I had to dive right into Iron Flame. I don’t know how anyone was able to handle waiting for a sequel to this. I’m not sure how i’m gonna handle waiting for book 3 to come out at this point.

I liked this one too. Still waiting for Iron Flame to become available at my library. Guess it’s popular or something? 😁
