Shut the fuck up. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
I have so many questions for myself right now and it all revolves around why WHYYY in the name of hell I waited so fucking long?!??? WHYYY was I so afraid of reading this series?!?
I mean it’s Rebecca freaking Yarros, why did I even bother doubting for a second my one and only queen of writing? She’s never EVER disappointed me, and I’ve already read 4 of her contemporary books, each of them a solid +4.5 stars. I should’ve known that her fantasy books would be just as good if not even better than the contemporary ones, dammit. I just wasn’t expecting this.
I’m obsessed, so fucking obsessed with everything about this book, the characters?? I think it’s safe to say that Xaden passed EASILY the test of book boyfriend of all times, I’m not even ready to acknowledge the amount of feelings that that man right there has lighted up in me. And Violet?!? I mean, I’m a freaking 4' 11" 27 y/o woman so it’s absolutely 100% safe to say that I connected with her from the very first line in the first page of this glorious book.
So yes, characters? A 10. Now, side characters? I think I’ve never cared so much about a side character in my life and here? I cared about every single side character around Violet, Rhiannon? Best fucking pal. Ridoc? Man he was so fun. Sawyer? Well, he was doing just fine there. And Liam? Yeah I’m not ready to talk about him to be honest, safe to say it destroyed me, period.
The plot? I should’ve known, I just should’ve known that Rebecca would excelled at it. It’s so damn addictive I’m going to have a hard time getting past this book if I ever get to do it.
The pace is fan-fucking-tastic. Like, for real. I had zero trouble with the pace at all.
The chemistry is so fucking hot to be honest with y’all, I died (a lot of times).
And the writing, well obviously since we’re talking about Rebecca Yarros the writing is as ALWAYS nothing but perfection. She’s a storyteller, and that’s just wonderful. I can’t begin to tell you how afraid I was of fantasy books before because I was actually afraid that my poor little brain wouldn’t be able to catch up with a whole world of idk creatures, magic, dragons, rules, you name it.. but Rebecca, my dear Rebecca here just described the whole thing in a way that I felt like I was already living in it. And that? I just gonna say that that’s how’s supposed to be with books.
I now make an honest and public apology to all of my friends who tried so many times to get me through fantasy books and had to accept my refusal over and over again. I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you guys sooner, you were right. I love this.
Already excited to continue with this series, and so fucking glad that I don’t have to wait months or years to read what’s next 😂🤭 sorry for those who suffered, you did it for me
