A fantasy like you've never read before." ―1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros 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.

    • Totally Captivating!!
Wow! It has been a LONG time since I have actually felt tension while reading a book. I can read the biggest action scenes at the end of various books and the majority of the time they just don't affect me at all - because I don't care that much about the characters. But THIS - this was different. I felt the tension. And it was real. Plus the author is very willing to kill characters so there is some uncertainty there as well. And the battle at the end of this most excellent book - it was hot and raging. Plus the enemy leaked danger as well. True menace. Very rarely does some enemy in a book impress me at all but this one most certainly did.. Right from the description I just KNEW there was something different about these mages called venin. They seemed impressive too. And very memorable. I wanted to draw them based off of the description. Very rarely do I get that urge. But what a battle at the end! It was touch and go. What would happen? Would the heroes win or lose? I didn't know. And I felt concern. This book has made me feel things. Earlier it had made me cry - tears of joy. And the book has surprised me too. The plot twists! I guess I should have seen it coming but I didn't so I was quite surprised. But it certainly makes the story way more interesting! And I am certainly eager to read the sequel too! This is a massive book and worth reading every word! And rarely do I feel that way. But its exciting and the characters face so many challenges. And there is death too. In fact there is a lot of death in here. Its a very violent world, a tough world of dragons and griffins and things that are supposed to be only legends to scare kids to eat their vegetables... But what I love the most in here in the main character Violet. She has a connective tissue disorder. I have one too (its called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - EDS - and I am pretty confident that Violet actually has EDS). I have never run across a character in a book before that has EDS. And certainly not one that is bold enough to be in a fantasy world where she rides a dragon. How cool is that? So yes I certainly can relate to her very well! And so much of the stuff in here is quite accurate too. Exercise is the best way to protect the joints (and personally I find diet matters a ton too). And yes it certainly can make many things way harder. The joints are all wonky and they naturally hyper-extend so doing things - even just balancing - is way harder. But riding a dragon!!! I remember when I was much younger I used to read this other very popular fantasy series that included dragons and I used to try to imagine what it would be like to ride a dragon. Of course I never thought about the issues of staying ON said dragon... But since I ride horses these days I have a better idea of some of the issues. But wow this book is totally AMAZING! it totally captivated my attention. The first evening I started it I got 50% through. And I certainly would have powered through the second half yesterday but unfortunately I have packing to do as I am moving at the end of the month. If I could I would rate it 6 stars! The characters are just so real. And they go through character arcs too. They change. They face obstacles and have to find solutions. And there is certainly a bit of romance in here too. The story moved so smoothly. Never a dull moment at all. None. And I just loved the first person writing in here from Violet's viewpoint. But the story is about a young woman named Violet who has been forced by her very powerful mother to become a dragon rider. That is a warrior. But her body is weak and ill suited for it. So she was training to be a scribe (but all of that writing would be a huge strain on her too - in fact I cannot write very long at all by hand anymore without pain + numbness going down my arm and I get horrid shoulder pain) but that changed - she had to go be a dragon rider or die trying. But its not that easy in fact its very dangerous. Most people who try to become a rider end up dead. And you can be killed by your own classmates! Yes, its a very brutal school. And after all of these difficult obstacles - which Violet is ill suited to pass - she has to hope that a dragon will pick her. But what dragon will pick someone with a body that doesn't work right due to genetic mutations? And all of that is near the beginning of the book! For a huge mysterious and dangerous problem is brewing in the Kingdom! And poor Violet will run smack into it - err - fly into it. If she can stay on the dragon that is... You definitely should read this! ... show more

    • Let me just say this is my first fantasy book EVER & it did NOT disappoint
Let me just say this is my first fantasy book EVER & it did NOT disappoint. I can’t explain how much I love this book. You know when you’re reading and you get literally lost in a book and you envision the entire thing perfectly? That was this book THE ENTIRE TIME. Like I was in it. This lived up to the hype and more! Where to even start

First of all, everything about this story—the foundation, the storyline, the action, the battles, the strategy—was flawless! I was captivated by the world building from the beginning! We went through blood, sweat, and tears with Violet in this book, and I loved every minute of it! I adore how nothing about the tale was rushed! I adore the lore and historical context that the book explores—the TWISTS! The conclusion! I was captivated from beginning to end! 
The dragons were amazing! I enjoyed how unique and detailed they were—not just tacked on to make the novel more exciting—and how much personality they have, along with the magic system including being joined and signets, etc. Andarna truly has my undying love 🫶🏼 But…. XADEN RIORSON?💗 I apologize, but he ranks in my top three book boyfriends right now. He's giving Rhysand, but in all honesty—don't shoot me—I like Xaden. ¨ All the little things he did for Violet throughout the book were so sweet and endearing! The tension, angst, slow burn, flirting—I loved it all! He was so charming and attractive, with the ideal balance of arrogance and confidence but also something kind and misinterpreted about him! (Xaden just has that impact on me; at times, it was literally like kicking my feet.)

If we had been given Xaden's point of view, we would have had even more depth and understanding, particularly with the friends he spent more time with, such as Garrick, Bodhi, Imogen, and so on. Yes. Yes, it would have because those characters lacked depth, but I don't evaluate my novels on enjoyment, so it didn't lessen how much I like this one. Perhaps Xaden's perspective will be explored in more detail in book two or three. I am genuinely amazed by the last 10% of this book and can't wait for the second one to be out. It has made me realize that I should read more fantasy because, when done well, nothing compares 🙌🏼.
