I've said before that I love the excerpts at the top of the chapters, and I do, but some of them just give away what will be happening in the chapter.
Pretty much every public encounter with Xaden makes me feel second-hand embarrassment and awkwardness. In reality it's about the classes and being a dragon rider, not about the intimate relationship that breaks rank. Their random meetings are way too convenient. Practically every chapter I anticipate an encounter.
The paragraph of Tairn explaining the energy is very well written. I enjoyed it a good bit.
The way Yarros uses the word 'fuck' just feels so forced. She's trying to make the story more adult. This is not a useful tactic. Writing a novel with mature wording and language is the way to convene it as an adult novel.
While Xaden is taking her through grounding to block out Tairn's emotions, I find it annoying how quickly she was mentally capable. He even says most other riders take weeks to figure it out, and she accomplished it in minutes. It would have been more believable if it was hours instead.
