Are you absolutely, all the way kidding me. That was amazing. I am freakin speechless right now. I can’t even think right now. My brain is everywhere and nowhere all at once. Am I real? Is this book real? Is this author for freaking real?! What!! Incredible.

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.

3.5

I can see why a lot of people would rate this 5 stars. I give 3.5 because I hate war and this was very heavy on the action. But it’s about a war college and it was expected. 

Also I was recovering from surgery when I started the book and there was a ton of emphasis on detailed injuries

for the torture-heal-torture cycle that

and I had to take a break from reading for a few weeks. Probably would have rated it higher if I wasn’t! Probably the worst part of this book! 

First book was better but I hated this ending. I’m so mad but overall enjoyed the journey. Will still read the third book!
