this one was better than iron flame but didn’t get interesting until 2/3 of the way through. i enjoyed the politics but got bogged down by all the new characters and places. i started reading this series for the romance but honestly (and this is a hot take) violet and xadens intensity is kind of annoying to me and i think the whole book would benefit by taking out their spicy scenes (also so it’s shorter) and just focusing on the plot. there’s nothing wrong with xaden, but i really enjoyed the scenes of violet by herself or solving problems with her friends/dragons more than i enjoyed scenes with them together. she could be such a strong fmc and she was so much better in this book but xaden really bogged her down.
