This story is quite exhilarating so far, and I like the way it’s action-packed. The beginning chapter is a good precursor to what happens with Isabelle, and how that drives the character of Alex forward for motivation and desire for revenge and violence in the story. It also makes me wonder what will happen next, and the writing keeps me hooked so far.
The world of wyverns has always had a very strict social pyramid, and for centuries Alex Conrad's family has been at the top in England. They even founded a school so they could keep their children away from humans and wyverns deemed to be less worthy. But ever since Alex was a kid, the pyramid has been slowly crumbling, and now for the first time, their doors will be open to wyverns from all social backgrounds. Plenty of upper-class families are less than thrilled with the Conrads' decision, and almost all of the new students harbour hostility toward the ones who have looked down on them for so long. Especially Alex's new flatmate, a boy named Matthew Montoya, who is determined to prove a point by making Alex's life as miserable as he can manage. Things take a turn when the tension on campus claims a student's life and the two have to decide if they're going to let the tragedy bring them together or rip them further apart.
