This was an absolute romp, and I’m shocked by how much I absolutely loved it. Xaden is my favorite kind of problematic hero—bad boy, protective and possessive, falls first (thanks fanfiction versions of Draco Malfoy for installing my buttons).
Violet is clever and entertaining, and I was impressed by the world building for actually making me interested in dragon riders. I have to admit that I kind of tuned out the battle scenes, but I rewinded the sexual tension scenes over and over again, giggling to myself as I enjoyed the development of Violet’s strength and the relationship with Xaden, as well as with her siblings, friends, rivals, and the “Marked Ones.” The ending was shocking, and I can’t wait to read the next book. Have to time it right so I can continue to enjoy the series as it is published. I’ve heard about a great fanfiction from Xaden’s perspective, so I may start with that.
