Second in a trilogy so it's obviously not going to end on a high note. There is victory as well as loss. Looking forward to the next book hoping for answers that were left somewhat unfinished here. Made me cry, tho, so definitely moving. Character growth is really relationship growth.

What a trip this book was…first and foremost: I didn’t love it as much as the first one but it’s still an amazing book nonetheless. Most annoying was def the interactions and the drama between Violet and Xaden…most if the time I didn’t even understand why she was mad or what her point was and it seemed as though she didn’t either. The whole „ask me“-thing annoyed me as hell! Like just tell her ?! Why make a „game“ out of it? I often also felt that the author made the reader miss out on a lot of their interactions and I felt like I missed out on much of the two of them together. This book was much more focused on Violet and her development as a character and a rider as well as her relationship with her friends, which I did like but I just wish there was also more Xaden in it. The fact that we only got one decent sex scene kinda disappointed me tbh but that’s just personal preference hahah. One thing I especially liked was Andarnas development and sassiness! I felt like she wasn’t as important in the first book but in this book she def was! And I love her so much! In conclusion I suppose we can all agree that the ending was heartbreaking and it def made me tear up but I don’t think all hope is lost. I‘m sure Violet will find some way as she always does.

Are you absolutely, all the way kidding me. That was amazing. I am freakin speechless right now. I can’t even think right now. My brain is everywhere and nowhere all at once. Am I real? Is this book real? Is this author for freaking real?! What!! Incredible.
