I was originally excited at the page count, thinking I’d enjoy it as much as the first and have more to read. Unfortunately, there seemed to be more filler than I had hoped, primarily in the form of Violet and Xaden’s arguments. Or rather, argument, as it was the same thing over and over… and over. It got to the point that their arguments were putting me to sleep and I had to switch over to audiobook format just to get through them. Personally, I read for escapism, and reading their arguments left me with the awkward feeling of being at a friend’s house while they fight with their significant other. I still enjoyed the relationship between Violet and her dragons, my favorite parts of the book are the scenes with Andarna. Violet’s other relationships definitely suffered in this book though. Her tantrums and responses to the valid feelings of others are childish and strangely out of character for her. Maybe I don’t remember her youthful mentality from the first book, but she came across quite a bit younger this time around than she originally did to me. I wish there had been just a bit more development in the relationship between General Sorrengail and her children, I feel that her sacrifice would have been more meaningful to me. But as such, it didn’t hold as much weight as it could have. The cliffhanger did catch me off guard, I’ll admit, and definitely has me speculating as to how the story will pan out. As I said, I still enjoyed the story overall and I am looking forward to the next book to see where this cliffhanger leads. I feel that had more time been taken, this book could have been much better. For me, the book was way overhyped but unfortunately did not deliver. I am hoping that the author takes her time with the subsequent books to allow the best possible telling of this story....more
