I adored this book! It reminded me a lot of Divergent but in the best way: I enjoyed watching Violet's growth into a fearless and strong rider, and was actually in tears when 

bonded to not only one but two dragons

! The relationships between each character were fleshed out and had me giggling and sobbing at times, but in particular Xaden and Violet's relationship was breathtaking to observe too. The worldbuilding was explained brilliantly, and the writing had a way of making me feel like I was also training and fighting to survive in the college too. What a cliffhanger though!! I can't wait for the next book.
