Thoughts 💭
What a series so far! I am genuinely struggling with having to wait for Onyx Storm, January is too far away!
Part 1 of this book was full of the characters experiencing some of the craziest antics ever. As readers we witness Vi rise to some of the worst experiences with strength and loyalty unlike what she's shown throughout the series thus far. The end of Part 1 gutted me. It brought me to my knees and had me in a state of utter emotional distress.
Part 2’s pace was slower and more leveled out. The part of me that took the previous part so deeply was extremely thankful that I could have that break to decompress. Vi and Xaden show so much growth together as well as individually. THAT scene was perfect for highlighting the choice Xaden was making, and Vi realizing she is deserving of it all.
The battle scenes are written in such a way that it feels like you're watching a movie play out in your head. The ending was a mix of ‘HOLY CRAP’ & ‘WHY!?’, makes it very frustrating knowing I have to wait months to get my hands on the next installment of the series!
