honestly this probably would’ve been four stars had the beginning not been so drawn out and boring.

the last quarter of the book was really good, and so much was happening that there were almost no moments where i was like “um wtf i’m cringing so hard”.

i cant say the same for the first three quarters. so many cringe moments and so much bad dialogue. why are we bringing 2020s slang into a fantasy book??

the criticism i have heard a lot with this book was that it felt rushed, like she didn’t take her time writing it. i actually disagree with this because every possible plot hole was explained away, and the book was SO long. like arguably way longer than it needed to be.

i really enjoyed the last parts of the book, so that made this a better book for me overall than it would’ve been. if the whole book has been like the beginning, this probably would’ve been a two star read for me.

This book was amazing. I laughed at some parts and even cried throughout this 623 page book. I did like it more than the first one and I loved reading about violet and her story at the war college! loved the relationship between violet and xaden.I’m super excited for Onyx Storm. If you like action and some spice this book is definitely for you! I But the way the book ended had me shocked and made me reread the last page. Overall I loved it.
