I can't hardly wait to post this review. I think this book is criminally underrated.
Annie and Lee were just children when a brutal revolution changed their world, giving everyone--even the lowborn--a chance to test into the governing class of dragonriders.
Now they are both rising stars in the new regime, despite backgrounds that couldn't be more different. Annie's lowborn family was executed by dragonfire, while Lee's aristocratic family was murdered by revolutionaries. Growing up in the same orphanage forged their friendship, and seven years of training have made them rivals for the top position in the dragonriding fleet.
But everything changes when survivors from the old regime surface, bent on reclaiming the city.
This book caught me by surprise, really, way exceeding my expectation. It restore my faith to YA books after a series of dissapointment I experience with YA books lately.
The way Rosaria wrote the dynamic relationship between Lee and Annie didn't even start as romantic one, but platonic love instead. Friends-to-lovers trope even my least favorite trope, but I feel like Rosaria wrote Lee and Annie's story JUST FOR ME. I could feel the emotions of both characters, my heart
