In the Riders Quadrant, Violet has to train in combat and bond with a dragon to protect the kingdom alongside other riders. The dragons are incredibly detailed, and their unique personalities make the book even better. The author does an excellent job of incorporating a brilliant world-building description.
The characters' development is natural, and Violet is a total badass, pushing through chronic pain to reach her full potential. Her relationship with Xaden, who hates her because of her mother, develops in a well-done enemies-to-lovers manner.
The writing is so good that I was on the edge of my seat during battle scenes and couldn't stop reading until I found out what happened next. The ending is a massive cliffhanger, and I need book two now! Overall, this book is a must-read for fantasy fans.
