I think pitching a book as quidditch meets how to train your dragon is gutsy and sets the bar pretty high. And the potential was there. I was really interested in this idea of a game designed around dragons that was known about in the "normal" world. I really, really wanted to love this book as it has all sorts of things that I like. Unfortunately, this book suffered from a lack of clarity around world building and the beginning of the book happening incredibly quickly with a lot of info-dumping, little character building, and an overt amount of pop-culture references. I feel like had more time been spent on world building in the beginning, and the pacing in the beginning of the book had been a little slower or more focused, this book would have been stronger. If you are newer to YA fantasy and are not as focused on strong world building, you will probably really like this book.
