Awful. My wish is to have someone take this concept, plot it out, and rewrite it so it actually has some substance—which it very well could have had. 🫠

Yarros does such a great job in building a world where everything makes sense. She'll leave hints along the way that resolve later on in ways you don't expect. I love having the referenced materials starting chapters (also happens in the first book) as it's a smart way to contribute to the world building and give the reader additional context or even a clue of what might come in the upcoming chapter.

Absolutely blew me away.

I personally could have done without the 100 pages of detailed sex scenes but, I acknowledge again I am not the target audience in that department. But otherwise, past those skipped pages was an absolutely gripping story that left me reeling by the end. I had previously been slacking a bit in my reading, but during my time with this and Iron Flame I was reading in about every spare moment I got, it was that good. I could not wait to see what comes next- and still can't!

Thankfully I only have to wait one more month before the next book, because I am now absolutely craving something I didn't even know about a month ago.

I started this book right after the first one and I was really hiped, but I think that  some things could had been handled better. First of all some scenes could be shorter and still reassume everything perfectly, the FL is too dumb, which is really strange because in the first book she was the smartest ( now I understand the plot exigence but that is too much), Xaden is the most coherent character ( he makes a choice and just goes with it),  the side characters are too marginal and poorly developed. The author, in my opinion, dedicated too much space to Xaden and Violet's arguement.
Last but not least Tairn and Andarna best characters, change my mind.

P.s. it might seem that I didn't like the book but I actually did, in my opinion somethings could have been written better.
