Sequel to Fourth Wing where we follow Violet and Xaden's first year apart has he is stationed after graduation and she is in her second year at school. They get to see each other every week since their dragons are bonded, but the villians do everything to keep the two of them apart. Violet is determined to learn more about the revolution since Xaden is still keeping secrets from her, which is causing a strain in their relationship. Violet focuses on figuring out how the wards were put in place to protect the land south of the current wards where the revolution is making camp. Along the way she encounter Xaden's ex - a Griffon rider from beyond the wards. The smut was great and the ending literally ripped my heart out. Didn't give a full 5 stars because the writing wasn't as good as the first, and this is definitely a set up book for the books to come. High hopes for the rest of this series. I think about the characters in this every day.
