Ok, so I love this series, I really do. And when I finished this one, I was all "OMG THIS WAS THE BEST!" because like most, I was on that book high and the ending was insane. But now that I've settled down and had some time to think it over, I actually realized I did have a few issues with this one that I just can't seem to shake.

But first, let's talk about what I loved:

The dragons - I will always crave more of Tairn, Andarna, and all the dragons. I love how we are seeing ...more

All I can say is OMGosh, this book was so incredibly awesome. The cliffhanger has me dying that the next book won't be out any time soon. How is Rebecca Yarros going to do this to us.

Not only is Xaden and Violet my favorite fantasy couple but every one of the rest of the characters are just amazing. There is nothing quite like the snarkiness of Ridoc and Sawyer but now we added Cat to the mix and it's even more fun. Of course the dragons in this book are top notch. I've never read a book with d ...more

I love these books so much. I preordered this book back in April 2024. I was so excited all day expecting that the hardcover book would be waiting for me when I got home from work on release day and then Amazon failed me so I had no choice (NO CHOICE) but to also buy the kindle version so that I could start reading the book on release day. I love these characters. I love the story. I'm in love with tall, dark, broody, sexy Xaden. I didn't want to read the book in one day. I wanted to savor it an ...more

Violet Sorrengail & Xaden Riorson

At this point all I'm going to say is that I loved every minute. We got our beloved dragons, action, and romance.

Keep them coming Rebecca Yarros. ...more
