This book gives me such Russian Revolution with dragon vibes, but maybe that's just me. I can also understand how this is a better version of Fourth Wing. The bigger focus on actual dragon riding/fighting was really cool to see, the actual impact of the war and the horrors they have to commit was deeply gripping, and the struggle of our two main characters and whether they can accept and move on after what their families have experienced? Captivating. Definitely had some "hands to mouth" moments which is always fun and very excited to start the second book immediately. Will say that the beginning is a little hard to get through, but you'll be hooked after 15%.
