sarahbythebook's review against another edition
I really hate how Vhalla is treating Daniel and that whole setup, and I just don't want to read about it stretched out through three more books.

Why? Just why?
Da hatte ich mich gerade gefreut und dann das… Ich frage mich wirklich, was dem dem Kaiser geschehen ist, dass er zu so einem Monster geworden ist. Warum hat er die Fesseln benutzt und woher hat Egmun die überhaupt? Ich habe so langsam das Gefühl, dass er der wahre Feind ist. Und warum, WARUM hat er Vhalla und Aldrik getrennt? Wiiesoo? Was für ein mieser Cliffhanger! ><

Leave it to emperor Solaris to fuck everything up. EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL, BUT NOW IM PUMPED AF FOR THE NEXT BOOK. Vhalla on her own with the AXE, Aldrik will obviously be looking for herrr. excited to see what the crystals and crystal axe means for miss lady yarl.
Daniel needs to chill bro, he's so obsessed.
ALDRIK still the loml. The watch he made vhalla OMGGG.
I love the stuff with projections in this book, and the strategies for planning on beating the north!
Also the beginning with him injured and what not Aldrik ily. He's everything we all need in a dark haired brooding prince.

Più vado avanti con la serie più mi piace.
Il punto forte della scrittrice sono i dialoghi e ancora una volta ce ne regala di bellissimi, soprattutto quelli tra Vhalla e Aldrik. La coppia mi fa letteralmente impazzire, non mi capitava da tempo di appassionarmi così a dei personaggi.
Andando avanti con i libri sia la storia che le relazioni stanno diventando più mature, facendo nettamente vedere la differenza tra questo e il primo romanzo. La scena finale dimostra come si stanno evolvendo le cose e mi ha spezzato il cuore.
Come ho detto nelle altre recensioni il punto debole della scrittrice è l'azione, ma si sta vedendo come sta pian piano migliorando. Ci sono ancora alcune scene confuse, ma ce ne è stata una davvero magnifica che ha cancellato dalla mia memoria tutte le altre.

This sequel was unexpected in its intensity, especially toward the end, and it shows just how far Vhalla has come as not only a sorceress, but as a woman: brave, strong, and unrelenting.
As this is a sequel, there may be spoilers.
This book destroyed me. My emotions felt like they were just on a roller coaster that wouldn’t stick on a straight path most of the way through. Oh man.
As far as the plot went, I really enjoy how it keeps advancing to a common goal and a main purpose of Vhalla having to fight for the crown and to hopefully win her freedom. Throughout the events that happen in this book, that never changed, but it was always met with one challenging opposition or another. I’m rooting for Aldrik and Vhalla, and to see their love grow and blossom, only to be torn down, hurts. Challenge after challenge got in their way, and even though they both fought for each other in their own ways to strive toward an end together, things became so rocky in the end that I could feel my heart pounding as I read it all unfolding before me.
I found that there were secrets and many twists and turns in this novel. Vhalla is becoming a much stronger individual even in the face of death surrounding her. She doesn’t give up and she strives to protect the prince she loves. I think that although that is her primary driving force, she does so with so much passion that it’s hard not to root for her and to hopefully see her through to the end. She’s much more bold in the presence of the Emperor (whom I wouldn’t mind seeing NOT in a place of power, thanks), never backing down and asserting her intelligence among people who would otherwise belittle her.
I thought that Vhalla was a force to be reckoned with in this book as we saw her use her magic many, many times than in the previous two books, and how far her training has brought her. She’s unafraid to hurt and kill if the need be, which is extremely useful in a solider. I loved being able to see her use her strength and power to her advantage because it really shows how far she’s grown from a meek library apprentice, to a stubborn, strong headed, Windwalker.
Aldrik was also someone that I worried about at the beginning, but once he recovered from injuries at the beginning, I was glad to see his protective and loving nature over Vhalla come back right away. At times I thought he was too overprotective, much in the same way he was in the previous books, but I saw that his love came from somewhere deep inside of him and he wanted to express that. We also got to see more of his epic fire wielding skills as he fought alongside Vhalla and WOW, those two are incredible together. I thought that mentioning how they fight stronger and better together was an important aspect of the book, for sure, because they bounced off of each other so naturally.
As for some of the other characters and side things going on, I thought that Daniel was a good constant companion, though I could see something brewing between them momentarily, Vhalla seemed to quickly shut it down. Elecia and Fritz are in this as much as I would have wanted, but still seeing their presence there, and the interactions they have with Vhalla, really comforted me that friendships weren’t just cast to the side in way of the romance.
Speaking of the romance, OH MAN. Things got hot and heavy up in here and I was just like, “YES. FINALLY.” Yup, no shame.
But let me just say: that ending, man. I am a ball of angry emotions because WHY CAN’T THEY CATCH A BREAK. WHY. I mean, I knew the Emperor would find some way to twist and turn everything around and make things miserable for them, but ARGH. I’m so mad. I mean, that’s not an entirely bad thing, but wow, so many emotions. I need the fourth book now, thanks.
There were a few problems I did have with the novel, though, and they mainly had to do with the formatting of the book. I don’t know what happened, but on the Kindle it read weirdly and didn’t separate paragraphs at times or separated them in chunks. It was strange and distracted from reading because I oftentimes didn’t know who was speaking when sentences would run into each other in the same paragraph.
Also, there were a lot of typos that I noticed, too, as with the other books. That became distracting, too, but I easily chugged forward.
Other than that, I really enjoyed this sequel. It was heart pounding, action based, very romantic, and a whirlwind of emotions (see what I did there?). I’m definitely excited for the next book and I can’t wait to read it.
Overall, I thought this was a solid sequel and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s read the first two novels.

This is one of the books where you love the side characters more than the MCs
I want her to end up with Danielle, he's my favorite but i know it can't happen
