This book proved what everyone always says, the sequel is never as good as the original. Don't get me wrong, this book is good but not as Fourth Wing. The story was really freaking good at some parts and other felt so repetitive and dragged for so long that finishing felt almost eternal.
I felt that the ongoing battle between Violet and Xaden was exhausting and it didn't hold my interest. The addition of Cat, the ex, was so unnecessary, you can add drama without needing to use the tiring storyline of the ex and the insecurities/jealousy.
On the other side, I loved to see the growth of some minor characters. I love the friendship between Violet, Rhi, Ridoc and Sawyer and love the addition of Sloane to the group. I freaking love Andarna, I loved her as a baby, now an an adolescent and can't wait to see more of her in the next one.
And finally, THAT ENDING!!! 😱 I truly did not see that coming!! Can't wait to start the next one!
