Sawyer got in his seat and flew with the group, they made it to Aretia, Brennan came back and told Violet he had been working woth Xaden on curing him and he received a letter from Xaden the day prior about him wanting to try something new to help cure him. Then, Xaden shows up in Aretia early and expressing hope in him having control and an event occurred. (you know what I mean)

There’s another shadow wielder?!?! Ugh. Literally it’s one disappointment after the other. Nothing good is happening, I’m really pissed. First it was the irids. Then Xaden’s secret getting out. Cities are being destroyed by just 12 venin. I really hope something happens soon because this sucks.

So Trager is dead. They made it to the isle Zihnal is worshiped at, but the “gifts” they were given were not helpful and resulted in Trager dying. They’re going to burry him and his griffon at an inhabited isle then continue on their quest. This resulted in their alliance but at this high cost.

They made it to the castle, and there are people who have silver tipped hair like Violet. They changed the challenge to 3v3, and Xaden Dain and Violet all fought the three warriors. Dain lost, Xaden almost did but Violet saved him with a dagger and beat her opponent. (Who happened to be queen) During the match she wielded, but I have no idea how. They won’t fight with them because they want dragons in return.

A lot has happened. They’re on a quest to Eistol, and Violet brought Garrick because the flecks in Xaden’s eyes never fully turned back to gold after his situation on the last quest. They’re about to speak to the queen regarding finding Andarna’s kind, and half of the group had to stay behind. We’ll see what happens next.

Ok in that last chapter we found out that Halden was Violet’s first love and she opened her dad’s journal. I’m glad more is happening, but im kind of getting tired of waiting for them to actually leave to go find more out about Andarna.

I’m slightly disappointed that there wasn’t a more interesting fight scene between Violet and Xaden. Maybe there will be one closer to the end of the book, which is what I’m assuming is being foreshadowed here. Also, I’m curious as to whether or not Violet was right to trust Dain in getting her father’s journal from his dad’s quarters.

It always feels good when a character does something to beat the bad guy that you weren’t expecting. I hate Jack Barlow and I’m so happy that Violet and Imogen got the “final word” in a sense by Imogen taking his memories. I also am hopeful that there will be a “cure” of some sorts.

Ugh I’m so nervous about how this is gonna play out now that Xaden is venin. He got his title of Duke of Tyrendor back, and now IM scared for what he’s going to do if Violet can’t find a cure.

Ok I really hope that they can find this cure for Xaden. And I’m super curious as to what this other plan is that Violet is referencing but never specifies. I know it involves the Viscount but I don’t know anything else.
