I loved the first 2 books!!!! On the 3rd book I am only in Chap 6 and there are so many new characters introduced as if we should know them, feels inauthentic … like somehow I skipped a book or someone else wrote this book without reading the first two … and the whole political meeting needs another chapter to explain WHY all of a sudden these politicos are at the school doing these meetings and WHY the flyers are mad, didn’t we leave them in book 2 and all were on board?? I have listened to the first 6 chapters twice and none of these things are answered. And in Book 2 didn’t Siegel know Xaden is venin, how could she not know with the tight dragon bond and all, that seems silly … not liking this 3rd book at all. It feels like the author just wants to get to the end of the story but fast, and who cares about the readers …
I'm sorry you're not into it! I can understand feeling lost at the beginning. I thought that was kinda on purpose. With General Sorrengail's death, the new people in power barged in and took over. I just assumed it was like when a new president from the opposing party comes in and smashes everything up. Since its from Violet's POV, she's also kinda like WTF is happening. I'm curious if you stick with it if you like the rest of the book. There are a lot more characters introduced as the story goes on. At least there's some Broccoli for you to look forward to...
Lovely review!! I also wrote a review for OS! Love these amazing side characters like Ridoc, Andarna. Dain has been fully redeemed and I would love to see more of him and Sloane!! I love seeing side romances💕 Drake and Mira are enemies to lovers! And if there aren’t a family of three (with Broccoli)? I would be very mad!!
Just when I thought I couldn’t love Xaden more, we see a different him in this book, when it comes to his condition, he is the pessimist and hopeless one. Oh and Professor Riorson and the Duke of Tyrrendor? Well, we shouldn’t like someone because of their titles? Right?
Stuff I liked: the banter and getting to see the other rider/dragon relationships. Stuff I didn’t like: there was too much foreshadowing. Something that will be important later doesn’t necessarily move the plot along now
Agreed the foreshadowing wasn’t super. 1. There were two signets revealed at the end and I was, oh Violence, I thought you were smart. (Don’t want to spoil it for the others by saying which ones). 2. When done with a heavy hand, it does stall the pacing (and can even feel like the dreaded info-dump).
