This review summed up my feelings on the Nox situation perfectly (and one of the exact reasons I’m DNFing): https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5329431314

A dragon?! Scratches my Fourth Wing itch..
That ending is rough, glad the next book is already out for me to immediately start. I expect that there’s more to the story than I think because there is too much unresolved with Nox for him to die.

The rest of the bonds get completed here, though one is with... very very questionable consent (on both sides). Consent is kind of implied, but bonding also happens under pressure for one of the participants. I'm not a fan of this... even if it works out in the end. But part of the story is that this coupling is messed up for reasons that predate the events in the books.
The small comments about body size are happening again (in all the books, and I dislike them a lot), and the more we learn about bonds the more they are all hetero somehow? Like... where are the central bonds that are bonded to people of different genders? Why is this all so straight? I feel like that's wasted potential in this universe.
Am already reading the next one and will finish the series, but these basic problems run throughout (occasional fuzzy consent, heteronormativity (even if yes, there is a token gay character), body image). The plot itself is interesting and I'm enjoying the twists, though. Also, the spice is pretty good, would give a 4/5 (esp recommend if you like multiple participants, I just wish they would also interact with each other, not just the MFC, because again, wasted potential...)
