At no point during the reading of this book did I know or anticipate what was going to happen until it was actually happening! Rebecca Yarros had twists and turns weaved into this sequel from the very beginning! It almost felt like two different stories from the first half to the second half as the characters transitioned to a new location. Towards the end of the story is where things got interesting and the ending was just insane! I had no idea it would be so mind boggling and now it has me wondering what the third book will bring! And we will have to wait so long for its release!!!! AHH. The only thing I did not like about this book was the tension/arguing between Violet and Xaden. The arguing was straight out of a bad romance novel and there was no reason for the miscommunication and conflict they were having other than to bring another plot point into the story. It was painful to read their dumb arguments, but I still give this book a 5 stars because of how blown away I am!!!
