Reread for Onyx Storm release with hardcover & audiobook:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/6.
🌶️🌶️.5/5.
Well I wasn’t expecting my rating to be the same as my first time reading this because I had some revelations this time around.
Xander carried this book for me 100%. Vi is a hypocrite in some ways plus she gets angry when she ends up doing the same thing that she is accusing him of doing but what took the cake for me was that Xander was always the voice of reason in this relationship and what I mean by this is that he demanded communication from her because she always assume stuff or was afraid to know the truth even when the wanted to know. Collecting contradictions this one.
With that said she wasn’t that bad. She frustrated me a lot when it came to that stuff but with the other stuff like strategies and the reckless behavior that ends up leading us to misery but I kind of like it because it was born from a place of grief and love for her people.
Also with that said, I can’t ignore that because she likes to sacrifice herself to save everyone every time, she caused a chain reaction that lead Xander to accept „the offer“ and her mother to die (good riddance to her tbh) which left a sour taste in my mouth because I know she is gonna struggle with this new Xander and I don’t look forward to that.
I really HOPE she matches Xander‘s maturity in Onyx Storm otherwise it’s gonna be a struggle. She needs to step up her game in the feelings department and maybe her temper a bit too 😅.

Well Vi was frustrating in this one with the whole ‘ I can’t love him when he keeps secrets’ whereas Xaden was the adult in the relationship and he decided to work on the communication issue and he did well while Vi struggled with it.
Dain is still alive and well and I guess I don’t mind it now.
The whole thing with Vi’s mom was the redemption she needed imo.
The ending was somewhat unexpected but also not something I’m worried about. I wanna know what Tairn think about it.
The dragons were fun as always!
I’m excited for Onyx Storm.
