At first I was like "Wow another typical tiny, weak and independent girl falls in love with the big strong bad guy", but I couldn't put it down after reaching the 100 pages mark. There are a lot of things that I find cringe or cliche, like the unrealistic "I'm to weak for a sword but I'm super fast with daggers" or people keeping swords strapped to their backs, but I can look past that and into the strong bonds and friendships in the story.
Sold out but wanted!

Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . . 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. [payot.ch]
