This book is my most anticipated book of 2025 and I honestly feel like Rebecca Yarros delivered with this installment to this series!! 

I read this book in 3 sittings and then had to go back and re-read the last three chapters today because I needed to grasp what the heck happened at the end of this book!!! I honestly have so many questions in the best way possible! 

I felt like this book had a good balance of school setting, political stuff, and battle scenes. I was terrified of Xaden for 80% of this book but the slow burn and tension is real in this book and I feel like the few spicy scenes we got were worth it...Violet and Xaden's relationship is toxic as all hell but somehow it still works for me! 

I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed with keeping all of the characters in this story straight and I feel like I need a master list of who is who and where they belong within the world. I know there is something at the front of the book but it wasn't everyone and I still found myself lost with some reveals. 

I definetly enjoyed my time reading this book and I will most likely be doing more than one re-read of this book like I have with the others in the series! This series is quickly becoming a favorite series of all time for me and I cannot wait for the next installment in a few years (hopefully). Can't wait for some answers!
