Reread: My heart was shattered just as hard the 2nd time as the first. 

My one complaint is that this book is LONG, a behemoth. A lot of worldbuilding and history and explaining. It makes the world more permanent and makes readers invested in this entirely different place. Also, Violet and Xaden are intolerable the entire book, but their makeups are HOT. 

The ending of this one just KILLS me, but I’m so ready to start Onyx Storm now.
