World building felt incomplete.
For example, they mentioned the different types of wyvern in Fourth Wing and no one elaborated when they could finally talk freely in Battle Brief and other classes, where you'd think they'd learn about the enemy with whatever information they had but not a single mention of the different wyvern happens until during the final battle. Not to mention they received books on venin from the Viscount and no one read them or mentioned what information was in there.
There were many incomplete ideas. I think this had potential but the execution just didn't hit. I also wish there was more real character development.
