Will adapting to a changing world make one young woman lose touch with where she came from?Far from the kingdom of Torvald, on the Western Isles near the coast, Sea Dragons rule the skies. Lila is the daughter of the Raider leader, destined to take his place one day aboard their plundering ships. Her people value only what shiny trinkets they can get their hands on, but she aspires to much more than that: Lila wants the Raiders to become Dragon Mercenaries, dragon riders who help protect merchant fleets and navies from attack. Her father Kasian is skeptical, but a young monk named Danu-with a quest of his own-comes bearing a prophecy claiming that Lila is the lost heir of Roskilde, a born Dragon Rider.With Danu's guidance, Lila finds the unruly dragon she's destined to bond with-but the mismatched pair soon learn that much more than just their futures is at stake.

If you enjoy the stereotypical YA troupe of "a nobody discovers she isn't who she thought she was" then you might appreciate it more than I did. It's not even really the troupe, if done right those books can be awesome. It's more the entire story was boring and predicable. Like a copy and paste over done plot.
The main character was a spoiled arrogant brat, maybe it was supposed to be self assured confidence but it came of as me, me, me. It seemed like an adult wrote a YA book how adults view YA characters, not how YA characters view themselves. Her parents were jarring personalities, and a lot of the facts felt forced. The character growth was choppy at best so when it did happen it was a blink and they were a new rediscovered person. There were so many story issues for me, I just couldn't get into the book.
One of the saving features was that there wasn't any romance, thank goodness the two MCs didn't go that direction. (
