I am utterly confused about the whole Jack Barlowe bullshit fuckery. I have SO MANY questions. Mostly "WHY?!" When did they know he'd turned? If they knew, why did they spend so much time and effort healing him? Were they testing to see if Venin can be mended? I don't understand. And it all seems very convenient. And, of course, Violet was the one who figured out there was a traitor. Also, the way it was done... WTF.

Ok, so the Gryphon fliers academy do things the NORMAL way, not the death-colledge way. Good. At least some people in this world aren't insane murderers.

Also, I want the story retold from the Gryphon side. There aren't enough "gryphon rider" stories. I love dragons, but "bonded to a dragon" is quite overdone.

Why? Why spend months mending one particular rider? Especially Jack Barlowe? Other than to fuck with Violet specifically?

Huh, spoke too soon. Girl CAN learn.

This idiot keeps eating and drinking whatever they put in front of her DURING AN ASSESSMENT. How often does she have to be drugged and unable to reach her dragons before she learns?!
