xaden: *proceeds to keep even more secrets from her*
β
I know, I know, many of you hated the romance drama here but before I am a Romantasy or Fantasy girlie, I am a Romance girlie and lemme tell you, I LIVED for this
Xaden and Violet still love eachother so much and I know in my heart that they'll make it but I could still understand all their fights and disagreements and I could also understand Violet's perspective (even if many here seem to not π). And their making up scenes were the best hihi
What I absolutely hated was the OW drama π π»ββ sooo unnecessary
I would've loved some more action from the start! Violet finds out there's a revolution, oh my god π and then she...goes back to school? And then they all join the revolution! Fun! π₯³ And then...they have more school? Yeah, that's a thing readers have often complained about when books are set in a school but maybe there was a reason the school part wasn't always present π It got boring so quickly. I still found it quite comforting (yeah I know, kinda weird) for some reason, just like book 1, but it was also boring (those things CAN coexist).
But once we get into the action and all the gryphon riders get important, too, I was so ready for it! Violet leaving Basgiath also sees her entering a whole new dimension of this war and the way it's going to impact the whole continent.
I still don't really understand the whole Darkwielder/Venin thing and its details but going by that ending we'll soon find out more π
The ending part before the ending (y'know) got a bit too messy for me and didn't have the emotional punch for me that it obviously had for Violet. Just couldn't feel that connection!
A connection I *could* feel was Mira & Violet <3 absolute highlight π₯Ή (Brennan's a bit annoying though ngl)
No matter my few criticisms, I spent every minute I had listening to this book and I'm soo excited for the next one ππ»
