Synopsis

After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there’s no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty. Because the battle has truly begun, and with enemies closing in from outside their walls and within their ranks, it’s impossible to know who to trust.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves—her dragons, her family, her home, and him.

Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find—the truth. But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

Review

This book was one I was waiting for since I read Iron Flame. Where some wanted the romantasy that is found in the previous book, after the cliff hanger we found last book I knew we would get more epic fantasy rather than "romantasy". This book is filled with what I call political reading. It is full of more world-building with us getting familiar with other isles and new areas on the map. (Even if, some isles were not on the actual map on the front).

We met a few new characters which took awhile to get used to, but I was very happy to have what some may call a "filler" book. The adventure of looking for Adarna's Kind/Family, A Death and new signets that have come out to play. We finally now know that Violet's second signet is a Dream Walker which is a death sentence in their world. She can watch and control herself in other's dreams. Xaden on the other hand is trying to control himself whilst turning slowly venin.

We still ended on another cliffhanger with Violet forgetting what happened in her last 12 hours and how she came about to becoming MRS Xaden Riorson (I Too want to know what the F... Happened!) Hoping the next book will give us insight to what happened during those hours.

She is now the Duchess of Tyrrendor which makes me wonder what happened to Bodhi. Another character, Dain So many questions with Dain - The last few chapters makes you wonder how he has so much power.

This book is five stars as I am here with so many questions to Rebecca because yet again not only has this book become the fastest selling book in 20 years selling 2.7million copies but has also given us readers to question so many things that has happened whilst reading this yet amazing instalment of this book. I am also going to reread Fourth Wing! I want to go back and see her EASTER EGGS she might have left in every single book which i'm sure she has done as she mentioned we should have already known she was a dream walker from previous books.

I am very protective of these characters, there are so many questions and we have no idea when the next book is out - Rebecca has two more books in this series and I feel that someone we love will die in the fourth book. CAN we also mention BROCCOLI, the kitten?! We need more of her in the next books along with Ridoc and his funny character with his dragon Aotrom - These two are teenagers who are funny and honestly they are such a fun time to read about.

May I also add, I would love a series on the parent's time in Bagsiath? I want to know all about her dad's time looking for cures and his time venturing around the isles.

✨
Overall, YOU NEED TO READ THIS SERIES!
