I admit, it’s book 10, I was getting kind of tired of this series and ready to move on. But damn son, this one got good! Now I can’t wait for book 11 to come out in January! Go Dani and go Ryodan! I love you both
Sooooooo I think most of my disappointed started with the fact that I thought this was Mac’s story not Dani’s; I’m not a huge Dani fan. Anyways, I thought this book was pretty boring for the most part. I just felt like nothing exciting was happening and I started skimming pages until I got to the second half of the book. I still have trouble not picturing Dani as a 14 year old but can I say that I really like her relationship with Ryodan? This is what really saved the book for me. I feel like their relationship is healthier? He’s so open with her, and when he calls her stardust!!!!!!!!!! The rock!!!!!! That part was brilliant. I think they deserved more time together in this book. I almost might prefer their relationship over Mac and Barrons *shoulder shrug* I feel like if Dani wanted a pink Christmas tree Ryodan would get the biggest one he could find!!!!! And put it on display for everyone to see!!!! I’m excited for them, I hope they spoil the heck out of each other.

What happened to Ryodan's character? Seems like a pointless plot line. Could have been done better. Such a disappointment
Holy hell, Batman!
Originally, I found Dani utterly irritating. It took me years to read Iced since I expected to hate it. But learning more about her and getting a thorough backstory helped a lot in turning my opinion of her since I was able to understand her character a lot more. Then we get Jada was I was like what the fuck I just started liking Dani and now we got this whole new character, essentially. High Voltage, again, helped my understand the origins of Jada and why she was needed in completely rounding out Dani's character development and bringing her story full circle.
And that ending, though!!
Also, Christian needs a book of his own. For realz!

I have to say, this by far is my favorite in the series! There’s no possible way for me to wait until January 2021!
I love the fever series. At least the first 6 books. Yes, 6 not 5. Dani made the 6th book awesome.
While I didn’t hate Dani in the first 5 books, I was always disgusted by the amount of “too old for a 14 yo” things. However, she, as a character, was always adorable and a total badass. Iced was good because of her. I loved reading from this girl’s POV. She was so fun and wild. However, this book was more of a romance and less of the usual addicting action-packed book, what fever series is known for the most (and started to lose after Iced).
If you like philosophical things in romance books, this book is for you. If you expect an action-packed book, a page turner, and a badass Ryodan, this book isn’t for you. I highly recommend the audio, though. It was well narrated. However, we had Dani and Kat’s POV read by the same narrator using the same tone. It was confusing sometimes because the character’s name wasn’t told.
This book has 3 main problems:
1- TOO MUCH ROMANCE
2- MONOLOGUES
3- BOREDOM
#2: Burned was bad, Feverborn a disaster, feversong a bit more redeeming. The 3 focused on Mac. When I learned that High Voltage will be from Dani’s POV, I was delighted! No more Mac’s ridiculously boring monologues. Turns out I was wrong. Dani’s POVs were a mix of Mac and herself. She never had so many inner dialogues before now. They were tiring and tedious.
#3: I was bored to tears while reading this book. For God’s sake, it took me over a month to finish! I who devoured the first 5 books in less than a week. That should tell you something about the immense cliff this series fell off of. I don’t think I would’ve finished this book without listening to the audiobook. At x2 speed, the book didn’t take much effort anymore. I even skipped a few seconds (only once)!!!!!! When she was analyzing her relationship with Ryo, I skipped because I couldn’t take it anymore. It was torture listening to her overthink everything.
#1: I left one till the end because it’s full of spoilers that will be marked. If you do not want to know anything about this book before reading why would you be reading this review. And if you don’t mind a bit spoilery news, like this is mostly Dani and Ryodan’s book (a fact that any of you could’ve guessed), you’re fine. I’ll try to hide spoilers as best as I can.
I have always shipped Dani with Dancer. I was never a fan of Ryodan. In fact, that’s one of the reasons why I lowered my rating for Iced. However, he grew on me in Feversong. I started seeing him with Dani even with what was going on with Dancer. So yeah, I started liking the manoh sorry sex beaaaast.
Minor Spoilers: Anywho, I expected this book to be Dani and Ryodan’s reunion. What I didn’t expect was the amount of silly dreamy overuse of romance between the two. Where are the total badass characters? When did they become so sweet and vulnerable pouring their hearts’ content to the other? Not only did they bore me, they also made me roll my eyes plenty of times. I understand that Ryodan was caged as a kid just like you, Dani. I promise I get it. I’ve heard it enough times to remember this fact for a long long while. The characters lost their essence and what made them special and so fit for each other. Ryodan became the tormented lover and Dani, well... the person who doesn’t let herself get what she wants like always until it changed toward the mid of the book (after LOTS of monologues). I don’t know how to describe her, she was the same just more open, philosophical, and spiritual. So as a couple, it became full of the romance I always run away from. Mac and Barrons’ relationship never suffered from the abundance of romance (I don’t mind it if it was done well and with some action).
The characters weren’t the same anymore. Especially Ryoden. It was silly how much he changed. Moreover, the book took too long to finish. The main plot point now that I think of it, was left till the end with so little else going on before. I’m glad we saw more of Christian, I’ll always like that guy. But hey this is the fever series, who knows what would happen to him in book 11.
If you’re curious to know the whereabouts of the end:
It was bitterbecause too HEA sweet Dani got some good things at the end for me. Some people deserved what they got but it still felt too unsatisfying. Easy end. And the other twist before the end… don’t get me started. Shazi part was utterly ridiculous in my opinion. The switch between characters was a bit too omg! that's lovely. aka didn't like it at all. felt too perfect.
Briefly, some might like this book and there’s nothing wrong with that. I just wasn’t looking for a romantic book and characters. Some things became too convenient that I doubted I was reading the same series. Dani wasn’t as her usual self. I’m still going to read the last book (and hopefully it’ll be the last), I’m still curious to know where all of this is heading but I’m not expecting anything good.
