The pacing felt odd. It was all gas, no breaks. Made setting and characters feel less real compared to first book. Also as a reader the back to back cliff hangers are frustrating and feel like a lack of effort on behalf of the author.

This was fine. I only read it because I was sick with the flu and Libby had the audiobook available for immediate borrow. It definitely did not need to be this long. I was a bit shocked at the twists at the end

we all knew Jack was shady and not gonna change, but rip xaden for taking one for the team

and the world building got a bit more interesting but if the next book is more than 500 pages, I'm gonna give it a miss (from the library)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!! The story is full of drama, interesting characters, and continues seamlessly from Fourth Wing (dare I say it’s way better than Fourth Wing). 

I love when Cat is introduced and my favorite part of the story is when Cat challenges Violet on the mat. I literally wanted to be Violet in the ring. Also the reveal with Andarna is SHOCKING. I’m so excited to read the next book when it comes out and figure out how everything is resolved.
