FBAA book 4, how could she do that?

First I need to say I read the series out of order. I already kind of felt like the Draken were written in as back characters and already felt conflicted that Poppy wasn't getting to know them enough and asking them important questions. Then most of them die, wth, how could they do this to Nektas, he just dies off as a random Draken, he deserves so much better, as do the others. 😢

Maybe I'm not far enough in yet, but damn Jennifer Armentrout did them dirty.
