The way the ending of this book had me wanting to scream in the car when I listened to it. I know there was a lot of mixed reviews of this book but I absolutely loved it so much. I really loved seeing how Violet's realtionship with her fellow cadets and her relationship with Xaden developed. After the events of the last book I was so interested to see how this was going to develop. I thought that Rebecca Yarros did push a lot into this book but I found that it was pretty easy to follow. It makes me interested to see what the other books will have in store.
I found this to be a satisfying sequel to a book that I really loved. I am so interested to see what is going to happen in the next book.

Nevertheless I will probably read the next one when it comes out so now I will write a recap for myself:
Violet continues to be an absolute idiot when it comes to relationships and is really lacking self confidence to the degree that I really don’t understand Xaiden’s continued interest. I suppose I will just chalk it up to them being in their early 20s because I guess I didn’t recognize red flag either at that age.
Andarna finally grows up and is revealed to be a seventh type of mysterious dragon - purple! Whatever that means. Apparently she’s been sitting around for a hundred years just waiting for the right human to come along and be her best friend? I still don’t understand why dragons continue to give ANY shits about humans when they seem to be far superior. Although Taryn said that dragons befriended humans because humans can do magic? Or have thumbs? One of those reasons. But if that’s the case then how did the seven dragons put up the wards? Clearly they can also do magic.
Violets mom died which, as a reader, I couldn’t care less about but I assume some emotional growth will come from it. And on the same night Xaiden becomes a venin. So it will be interesting to see how long it takes for Violet to kill him, I assume it will be the entirety of book 3. I don’t know how the dragons haven’t already done this. I assume they know something is up with him, especially Sigail.
