What a cliffhanger to finish on - my brain is exploding a little bit 🤯

After book 1 was slow to start- book 2 was action packed start to finish.

✨ Multiple (and new) POVs
✨ Further development of our badass FMCs
✨ Slow burn romance- to the point of being painful but I’m loving it
✨ Epic battles
✨ New and interesting side characters
✨ Ongoing exploration of the waning lands
✨ Multiple story threads weaving together into one

Felt like throwing my kindle at the end of this book- I’m so invested in the characters and their stories and their frustrating decisions. As I have said the slow burn is excruciating but I am a sucker for punishment. Will be reading the next book the day it’s released. 10/10 recommend- you will hate the authors but in a good way.

🚨SPOILER 🚨 

I knew something was off with Harlon he’s giving Dain Aetos in books 1-2 of the Fourth Wing series with his “I know better” and “I’m doing this for your own good” and “I’m protecting you” BS… Everest is a warrior and deserves better than you hauling her off the battlefield and telling her she doesn’t know what she’s doing. So glad she’s wised up to him- that’s my girl right there 😌
