After a SLOW start (and I mean especially compared to Fourth Wing, this start was SO slow), Yarros pulled it back for me at the halfway mark.

Positives… obviously XADEN 🥵… The section relationships continued to grow and develop, I genuinely adore Rhianon, Varrish was a strong villain, I was kept guessing about Andarna. Another obvious one is Tairn, that sassy king 👑 

Negatives… Violet was whiney. So whiney. If I have to read “full disclosure” ever again, it will be too soon. The whole “you have to ask” was a bit overplayed too (but I’m not going to throw any stones at Xaden because he is beautiful and perfect and he has more than enough to deal with right now). Slow start was killing it a bit for me (but oh boy… that finish 🤯)

I am SO ready for Onyx Storm… Yarros, give me what you’ve got, I’m ready to be broken all over again 🔥
