This book is huge, and moves slower than fourth wing, but it’s just as dense if not more so. The length and density makes it difficult to binge read, it’s easier to read in smaller chunks. Can’t wait for Onyx Storm!

F*************k 😱 Ok so, starting with what I didn’t like: there was a lot of “waaah I can’t trust him, even though I also keep secrets from my friends who are way more understanding than I am to my bf who could literally die if he tells his secrets”. Call me a Xaden apologist or whatever but Violet was annoying the living hell out of me at some points. The not-like-other girls business got worse in this book, I felt she was more arrogant and even her insecurity felt like a form of narcissism? Or maybe I was just annoyed with her and it was clouding my judgement. I kept getting attached to side characters that just end up dying. I think there were scenes in the book that did little to advance the plot, and it made the story just insanely long without satisfying the need to move things along. I wanted to enjoy the relationship between the main characters, but the arguing and fighting about the same thing over and over was giving more “flashbacks of my ex” than “romance” but hopefully the next book irons that out and develops their relationship in a more healthy direction. Altogether though there was some spice, some action, some twists. The end had me 😱 idk how I will live till Jan
