I have a lot to say, having read so little. I decided to DNF after reading the third chapter because I can't get over how completely terrible the worldbuilding is. I went into this knowing it was a fantasy romance and it wouldn't be the most epic or thoughtful setting imaginable, but even then, I can't look past the utter stupidity of the world.

There is a nation at war and they have set up a military school to train their recruits. Fine, I can accept this. What I cannot accept is that a nation at war would let hundreds of recruits die each year trying to go over a glorified balance beam to get a chance at becoming a dragon rider. I'm sorry, it's just too stupid. Why wouldn't they line up all the recruits, let the dragons pick who they want, and then put the rest of them in the infantry? YOU NEED THE BODIES.

Not the mention that apparently this nation allows traitors and their children to become high-ranking officers in their ranks? And allows the recruits to literally kill one another? This is supposed to be a military academy! The one job of a military academy above all else to is foster a bond between recruits so that they want to fight with each other and, subsequently, are willing to die for their country. Letting recruits kill each other does not do that. Letting traitors into your ranks does not do that.

If you had a great time reading this, I'm happy for your. But if you are like me and at least need your worlds to make sense, skip this one.
