I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book Fourth Wing, but it was likeable enough. DRAGONS ! Violet and Xaden have serious trust issues as Xaden keeps things from her. Parts of the book are slow, and others breathtakingly fast, so the pacing for me was a bit off. But Dragon's and particularly the ones bonded to Violet Tairn and my favourite Andarna now a fabulous teenager. I will read the next book in the series when it comes out (I've started, so I'll finish), but there are more questions arising from the cliffhanger ending. Excellent stuff, but I hope the next book has more Fourth Wing vibes...

So in this sequel, Violet and Xaden are preparing to set up their rebel base and start their new year training. Violet struggles to control her signet and emotions following Xadens new assignment. After the trauma in Fourth Wing, Violet struggles to cope with Liams death and the revelation of her brother. To start on a positive note, I love that this was more like a spy novel with all the sneaking around and secrets. The increase in communication between Violet and Xaden is so needed and well handled. Onto the negatives, giving Xaden a crazy ex is so incredibly unnecessary emotionally that it makes me mad. This has almost no combat or actual training in it despite being a book set in a war college where soldiers train to fight. The lack of raw emotion that emanated from the first book is also pretty disappointing. I just feel like this was good conceptually but so rushed and under edited it loses all the charm that was present in book 1. Overall it was fine and I will read the next book but for me this is trending towards From Blood and Ash (great first book and terrible sequels).
