[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chapter 43 and I think a lot of the criticism about the "War College" in book one got to Yarros. 
[/quote]Don’t think I saw that. What was the criticism? [/quote]

That 75% of recruits are either murdered by other recruits or killed in training accidents and that's not how a war college works. That a good military redirects people from areas they can't be successful at to ones where they will be.

Yarros wrote a military academy where something like 20% of the incoming students die immediately. [/quote]

Yes! This is what killed me (no pun intended). What a stupid, pointless, unrealistic setting.

- Annapolis grad[/quote]Justice for Dylan! That poor guy died on day one. [/quote]

It's too expensive to just kill students off.[/quote]

Its a fantasy world where each cadet has to match with a Dragon. The Dragons can kill them on the spot if they find them unworthy. Sure each cadet who "fails" could go to infantry but based on the descpription of infantry, that is not better odds.

Its simple easy reading with enjoyable characters and Dragons. I did like Fourth Wing more than Iron Flame and they need to edit more/take longer. The reason I was excited to read the 2nd book is because of the 1st. Now the quality of book 2 does not mean the same for book 3. 6 more months of editing while she started on book 3 would have been better. [/quote]

Fantasy worlds still have to make sense.[/quote]
