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.

Although the book is paced in a way that could be engaging, I found it re-used some of the worst tropes from other dragon rider books in a way that they were criticized for in the past and didn’t do anything new. I was nearly a did not finish because i couldn’t connect with the story, but people told me it got better. I am not sure if it did get better, it just got more!
