xaden: *proceeds to keep even more secrets from her*
–
I know, I know, many of you hated the romance drama here but before I am a Romantasy or Fantasy girlie, I am a Romance girlie and lemme tell you, I LIVED for this
Xaden and Violet still love eachother so much and I know in my heart that they'll make it but I could still understand all their fights and disagreements and I could also understand Violet's perspective (even if many here seem to not 🙃). And their making up scenes were the best hihi
What I absolutely hated was the OW drama 🙅🏻♀ sooo unnecessary
I would've loved some more action from the start! Violet finds out there's a revolution, oh my god 😍 and then she...goes back to school? And then they all join the revolution! Fun! 🥳 And then...they have more school? Yeah, that's a thing readers have often complained about when books are set in a school but maybe there was a reason the school part wasn't always present 😭 It got boring so quickly. I still found it quite comforting (yeah I know, kinda weird) for some reason, just like book 1, but it was also boring (those things CAN coexist).
But once we get into the action and all the gryphon riders get important, too, I was so ready for it! Violet leaving Basgiath also sees her entering a whole new dimension of this war and the way it's going to impact the whole continent.
I still don't really understand the whole Darkwielder/Venin thing and its details but going by that ending we'll soon find out more 👀
The ending part before the ending (y'know) got a bit too messy for me and didn't have the emotional punch for me that it obviously had for Violet. Just couldn't feel that connection!
A connection I *could* feel was Mira & Violet <3 absolute highlight 🥹 (Brennan's a bit annoying though ngl)
No matter my few criticisms, I spent every minute I had listening to this book and I'm soo excited for the next one 🙏🏻

athenian_frog's review
The main two can’t communicate for shit. Sure she got together with the “leader of a revolution” or whatever but you’re in a serious relationship. Be for real. Violet is understandably feeling very insecure bc everything she knows is turning out to be fake (her image of the world, her brother’s death), she’s annoying but I kinda see why LOL.
The other thing is that the side characters still feel p flat. Most of what they say and do exists to prop Violet up in the eyes of the reader, very transparently. They don’t seem to have much going on in their lives even tho they’re in the same school. I think the only character I really got attached to was Jesinia.
There’s also a lot fo focus on anyone except the protagonists literal formerly dead brother from book one 💀💀💀 he’s been as relevant and explored as a potted plant,,, it’s annoying the hell outta me that we haven’t fleshed him out AT ALL 9 hours into the book. He’s been built up a good amount in book 1.
Anyways I might come back to this but I think I’ll be fine just reading a synopsis.

Typical fourth wing level violence/fast death scenes. A cadet’s neck gets snapped. The cadets, on two occasions, get non consensually drugged with a material that cuts off communication to their dragons.elntastic's review against another edition
