Oh! How I loved the book and was so into it throughout. I was excited, thrilled, emotional, tense, hot, angry, happy and so many more. I was feeling a lot of emotions altogether. It was a really nice adventure like I felt like I was there at Basgiath in Violet's place. And I love the transaction between her and Xaden. The tension, God!!! And the nickname!!! I just loved it.

I loved that a main character has a well depicted chronic illness. We see her pain but also see the strength she has developed to bear up under this pain. I cannot say how much I loved this!!!

I wish it were a closed door romance instead of steamy. And I also wish there were no curse words. The plot, world building, and character development carry the book and these elements aren’t needed.

Holy hot garbage, batman! This book may have been good if it had been edited to remove about 66% of the blathering angsty narration, but as is trying to make it through this neverending story felt like trying to wade through thick mud.
