My Review

I really enjoyed the first two books and was really excited to read this one, luckily a friend at work read it in the first two days it was out and then let me borrow it - she's a legend for sure!
It took me a few minutes to get back into the story, I'd read 15+ other books in the meantime so my head wasn't totally in the world, but I soon found myself back up to speed and remembering who everyone was - or at least the important people.

This book continues to develop both the characters and the world, and it all feels so familiar yet exciting and thrilling at the same time. Violet is trying to find a cure for Xaden as well as searching for the seventh breed of dragon. It seems like an impossible task and with their share of fights and ambushes along the way it keeps you turning the page.

Spoiler **

I was really sad about Andarna's story and felt the loss of her along with Violet when she left, but was all the happier when she came back at the end. I still love Tairn and it was nice to see the group dynamics grow.

I will definitely be re-reading these when the next part eventually comes out, I just hope Yarros doesn't make us wait too long, but rumour says it could be a couple of years :(
