🇳🇱: jeetje was een dik boek. Toen ik begon aan dit boek voelde ik meteen weer de vibes waar ik fourth wing mee geëindigd ben. Naarmate ik verder kwam in het boek werd dit minder. Het boek is in mijn mening gehaast geschreven, het bevat veel actie die slecht uitgewerkt is. Er komt heel veel op je af in de 600 pagina's maar veel had beter uitgewerkt kunnen worden. Ook waren er veel nieuwe (soms onbelangrijke) namen die je in de war brachten. Het einde maakte een hele hoop goed, maar die had wat uitgebreidere gemogen. Beter uitgewerkte actie in het boek had beter op zijn plaats geweest dan de hoeveelheid korte actie. Ook was dit boek zoals wordt gezegt veel meer gefocust op informatie over de wereld en de manier van besturen en magie. Dit is niet voor iedereen weggelegt, vooral als je niet zo veel fantasie leest. Al met al een goed vervolg, maar hij had beter uitgewerkt kunnen worden. Door het einde ben ik enorm benieuwd naar deel 3.

🇬🇧: wow, that was a big book. When I started this book I immediately felt the vibes that I ended Fourth Wing with. As I got further into the book this became less. In my opinion, the book was written in a hurry, it contains a lot of action that is poorly developed. There is a lot to deal with in the 600 pages, but much could have been developed better. There were also a lot of new (sometimes unimportant) names that confused you. The ending made up for a lot, but it could have been a bit more elaborate. Better developed action in the book would have been more appropriate than the amount of short action. Also, as stated, this book was much more focused on information about the world and the way of governing and magic. This isn't for everyone, especially if you don't read much fantasy. All in all a good sequel, but it could have been developed better. The ending makes me very curious about part 3.

This is an amazing book! The characters continued to evolve (I loved them even more in this book!), even with new surprises and mysteries along the way. The world continued to expand, but not in a way that made it feel too exhausting to catch up with. I would say that I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book, but that was partially because of the skipping I had to do (

*see content warnings*

). Aside from that, Empyrean is definitely becoming one of my all-time favorite series. Rebecca Yarros is truly a fantastic writer!

I'm just waiting for Catriona and Violet to become besties and everything will be swell. Also, I can't wait to find out Violet's second signet!!

What a trip this book was…first and foremost: I didn’t love it as much as the first one but it’s still an amazing book nonetheless. Most annoying was def the interactions and the drama between Violet and Xaden…most if the time I didn’t even understand why she was mad or what her point was and it seemed as though she didn’t either. The whole „ask me“-thing annoyed me as hell! Like just tell her ?! Why make a „game“ out of it? I often also felt that the author made the reader miss out on a lot of their interactions and I felt like I missed out on much of the two of them together. This book was much more focused on Violet and her development as a character and a rider as well as her relationship with her friends, which I did like but I just wish there was also more Xaden in it. The fact that we only got one decent sex scene kinda disappointed me tbh but that’s just personal preference hahah. One thing I especially liked was Andarnas development and sassiness! I felt like she wasn’t as important in the first book but in this book she def was! And I love her so much! In conclusion I suppose we can all agree that the ending was heartbreaking and it def made me tear up but I don’t think all hope is lost. I‘m sure Violet will find some way as she always does.
