I much preferred Fourth Wing, even if the volume is good too! The main storyline is a little slow (in my opinion) and some editing errors really put me out of my reading, unfortunately.

An excellent sequel to Fourth Wing. It’s nice to see the world-building and plot twists continue (Rebecca Yarros is a master of cliffhangers I didn’t see coming). I enjoyed watching Violet, her friends, and Xaden continue to live their lives together. I don’t see how Yarros can keep this up for three more books, but I’m very much looking forward to the next one!

pphoebbss's review against another edition

3.5

I had very high expectations for this book as I enjoyed fourth wing so much, so I think it was inevitable I wouldn’t enjoy it quite as much. Really enjoyed the first half and then kinda lost interest through the middle but continued and enjoyed overall. Really sick of the exact same conversation they had though this whole thing.

really hope with the ending the story goes down a different route, i’ve read a few books where something similar happens to the main love interest and kind of not wanting that whole storyline as was enjoying this book being a little bit of something different

What was this book? I feel like I was hit by a high speed dragon after finishing it.

I love this world and I love these characters. All of them. Even the villains... they are perfect, cruel, merciless...

The only reason this read isn't 5 stars is because the book has a lot of unnecessary stuff. The beginning is slow (but it was the same with 'Fourth Wing') but then the story gains the right momentum. I feel this book is unnecessary long: if they just talked - they share a mental bond, GOD, just mentally talk or whatever - many of the problems would be solved; and I think that are a lot of little details that were left without explanation.

But I don't want to judge too much, maybe all the explanations are in the next book! Yes, because after this ending I expect perfection for the third book. Everything MUST be ok.
