For Twenty yr old Violet Sorrengail, the life that she was supposed to have - entering the quiet peaceful life of the Scribe Quadrant - is not where is currently is. Her tough as nails general mother has ordered her into the death elite Dragon Rider quadrant following the path of her older brother who died and her older sister. Her whole life she's struggled - she's smaller than everyone and her body is brittle - so this new struggle isn't anything new. But Dragons don't bond with fragile humans and the Rider's quadrant isn't just fraught with them - other cadets want to kill you too for the chance and Violet has the biggest bullseye on her back just being the generals daughter. It's a cut throat quadrant. But what others see as weaknesses in Violet, is actually her greatest strength and there are a few that see that strength in her too.
This was actually a pretty good novel. I enjoyed the obstacles that Violet had to overcome within herself and the premise. The book had the right amount of politics, romance, character growth and world building. It's not the next greatest novel but for a series beginner it did itself justice and I would recommend.
