Un troisième tome de malade! Moments très badass (Chez Courtlyn, à cause de Halden, comment Violet dead ça, comment elle dead ça sur tout le reste des îles), Téophanie bon un peu relou cette histoire et du coup vu qu'elle meurt pleins de réponses ne seront pas là, IDEM pour Xaden on a trop de questions, surtout QUE S'EST-IL PASSE PENDANT LES 12 HEURES? Mon hypothèse : le "brother" qui est devenu venin, c'est Garrick, pq? parce que "it's yours now" refers to X's soul, not Tyrrendor (reffered as she), que RY essaye de nous duper sur ce point là + Garrick/Imogen à creuser donc je vois bien un parallel entre Xaden et Violet et eux se former plus tard. Par contre Andarna j'ai tellement pleuré quand elle est partie! And now after 12 hours she's back, je pense aussi que elle a brisé le lien Sgeal/Tairn pour que Xaden puisse aller loin. RESUME : Violet is a horcrux.

This book was

This book ruined me. I was sobbing. I love everyone. Dain is okay. He’s a good friend. The scene with the woman who thought Xaden was Dain was really funny. Do all of the rebels have 2 signets? I love Brennan and Mira. I love Imogen. She is zo brave. She is sometimes a little grumpy but I like her. I hope we get more of her point of view in the next book. I loved seeing her with Garrick. I was crying when Quinn died. Like can nobody live. We didn’t get much of Quinn but her death was really sad. I really like Garrick and I think he has a lot of potential. I was laughing when Ridoc said ‘Stop the flirting, just f*ck.’ Okay Ridoc. Ridoc ‘And I *punch* hate *punch* sewing’ Gamlyn. And ‘Good that I f*ck like a third year.’ Ridoc is so funny and I love him. If he dies I’m coming for Rebecca. I like Sawyer. I love Rhiannon. She is just a girl boss. I hope we get more of Sloane and Aaric in the next books. I really liked Aaric and I hated Halden. Lynx is a shadow wielder?! I don’t like it. The other first years and the third year fliers didn’t get a lot of attention. I like Cat and Maren. Cat finally found love with Trager and then he died. Let the characters be happy for one second. I liked the missions when they were with her friends. When Xaden said to Ridoc ‘Firstly, I trust Violet. Secondly, the strike wasn’t big enough’ Jaw dropped. I hate Theophine. I loved Tairn. He’s still a grumpy old man and we love him. I love Andarna. Her second signet?! Dreamwalker?! It is a really cool signet. I was sobbing when Andarna left. I get it but it was so sad. It’s valid that she didn’t do anything for 3 days. Xaden took care of her. I love Xaden. He didn’t want to hurt her. It’s so sad. Why did he turn! I just love him so deaply. Our favorite shadow daddy. Protective Xaden is so hot. Professor Riorson. I love Violet too. She is so strong and her lightning is so cool. She is getting better at it. When Xaden pushed Halden ‘So you pushed him into a wall’ ‘I told you I would do it’ The end?! Why?! What happened?! Like Xaden?! Where is he and what is he doing. You can’t turn! I was sobbing There were tears in my book. This book was devastating. When is book 4 coming?

That ending, I have no words. I'm literally speechless. So much happened and I loved reading every second of it. Andarna returning made me so happy! Her leaving broke my heart, but I understand why it needed to happen. Xaden turning Venin was bound to happen and I'm not happy about it, but I'm glad that it sounded like Sgaeyl and Xaden have a plan? And it includes Xaden marrying Violet? The fact that she can't remember it thanks to Imogen is insane. I'm curious to see what's going on with the whole Dunne plot and Aaric. I also need to give a special thanks To Ridoc for giving me to comedy relief I needed throughout the whole book.
