So much happens, I almost wish it was two books or maybe a book and a novella… still enjoyed it a lot. But definitely felt the 6 month release gap. Still really enjoyed it though!

This follow-up to "Fourth Wing" did not disappoint. It continued with non-stop action, twists and turns, and romance to make for terrific storytelling. It'll be hard to wait another year for the next book.

Good plot and a twisty ending, not as addicting as the first book.

I hated that ending (but in the best way), and now I’m mad at Rebecca Yarros. She better give us a better resolution in book 3.

If Rebecca doesn’t give us a cure for Xaden being venin in book 3, I’ll never read one of her books ever again. I’m so angry at last few pages of this book!
