You know how some people wait for an entire series to be released before they commit to reading it? Well, good for them, I have envy because now I have to wait who knows how long before the next one.

There's a lot going on here, which I expected being that the sequel is a lot longer, and the pacing gets a bit clunky at times but I'm glad we are at least going places outside of Basgiath. It's still a hell of a rollercoaster the whole time. I had several audible reaction to many scenes while reading.

I still love Xaden and some of the best swoon-eorthy dialogue happens but Violet got a annoyingly bratty at times. The dragons are still a hoot. The squad group is delightful.

Now give me Book 3, please and thank you.

Screaming. Crying. Throwing up. Why did I finish this in 3 days? The first third of the book is slow but then it takes off from there. This book doesn’t cover a whole school year like last time so I’m curious how much time the next three books will cover. Prepare to be thrilled, heartbroken, baffled, and more.
