The main two can’t communicate for shit. Sure she got together with the “leader of a revolution” or whatever but you’re in a serious relationship. Be for real. Violet is understandably feeling very insecure bc everything she knows is turning out to be fake (her image of the world, her brother’s death), she’s annoying but I kinda see why LOL.
The other thing is that the side characters still feel p flat. Most of what they say and do exists to prop Violet up in the eyes of the reader, very transparently. They don’t seem to have much going on in their lives even tho they’re in the same school. I think the only character I really got attached to was Jesinia.
There’s also a lot fo focus on anyone except the protagonists literal formerly dead brother from book one 💀💀💀 he’s been as relevant and explored as a potted plant,,, it’s annoying the hell outta me that we haven’t fleshed him out AT ALL 9 hours into the book. He’s been built up a good amount in book 1.
Anyways I might come back to this but I think I’ll be fine just reading a synopsis.

Typical fourth wing level violence/fast death scenes. A cadet’s neck gets snapped. The cadets, on two occasions, get non consensually drugged with a material that cuts off communication to their dragons.emilycfox's review against another edition

A few things that brought it down from 5 stars for me: Violet and Xaden’s relationship dynamic gets pretty repetitive and frustrating, but I’m hoping that it was intentional and we’ll see growth from them moving forward. I also didn’t like how many times the story jumped forward to the next day or several days / weeks later because I felt like I was missing things (like, did they talk about xyz but we didn’t see it or have they not even discussed it?). I just want to know what happens every minute of every day!! Even the “boring” day-to-day stuff because that’s when we get to see Violet’s friends and learn more about the world :( but I also get that it’s already a long book. Similar to FW, the writing is simply fine — not so bad it ruins the story but also not fantastic (I swear to god everything is measured in heartbeats as if this world does not have any other unit to measure time)
