This book is 1. far too long, and 2. relentlessly heterosexual. I found a pdf and skimmed it because I couldn't stand hearing any more about the damn obstacle course up the cliff. I do appreciate the classic our-psychic-dragon-bond-makes-us-horny thing, but since I am not particularly invested in the main pair, I also skipped the sex scenes. It takes the author sooo long to get to the inevitable reveal that this entire country is actually the bad guys. Look: there are better dragon rider fantasies out there, and there are better romance novels out there, and I'm sure there are better military school adventures out there, somewhere. That said, I do find it charming that this author gave her main character Ehlers-Danlos because she has it. "This is my self-insert and she has the biggest, coolest dragon and a hot dangerous boyfriend and lightning powers, fuck off." It's not something I'm interested in personally but it makes complete sense to me that the TikTok girlies like it.
