Description

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general―also known as her tough-as-talons mother―has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away… because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter―like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda―because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

Em contraste com a romantasia lida antes dessa, a trilogia do vilão, essa me envolveu completamente no mundo, além de eu gostar MUITO mais quando a narraçao com POV é feita em primeira pessoa, eu me senti muitas vezes na pele da Violet, ficava aliviada em todas as provas que ela passava, como se fosse comigo. E principalmente: desenvolvi uma relação parassocial com Tairn e Andarna, esses dragões são MEUS!!

Apesar do meu envolvimento, é perceptível que o livro parece um grande “quebra-cabeça” de várias fantasias já conhecidas. Além disso, senti falta de um desenvolvimento mais aprofundado dos personagens secundários, muitos deles parecem estar ali apenas para sustentar a jornada da Violet e do Xaden.
E sobre o casal principal: fiquei apaixonada, mas também senti que faltou um pouco mais de construção emocional. Talvez mais cenas e diálogos que fortalecessem a conexão entre eles, em vez de depender tanto do vínculo criado pelos dragões.

Apesar dos meus contras, eu gostei da história, principalmente por fugir um pouco da temática de fantasia que leio, trazendo dragões. Ansiosa pra continuar a história e espero me arrepender das reclamações que pontuei nesse.

It didn't match the hype for me.. I expected something different I guess... I do love Harry Potter and Hunger Games and it felt like such a mix of the two but something just didn't draw me in fully. The end shocked me though and I may see what the rest of the series is like... Possibly.
