Let’s saddle up- she’s a hot author and while I did genuinely love fourth wing, per my history working with AI prompts, I don’t 100% trust the writing provided here. This book could have been done with 450 less pages in which that middle meat we gained no closeness with her side characters, played through an endless loop of violet having the same argument over and over again with disjointed smut scenes, and an extremely disconnected ending (which I’m sure was done under a shroud of mystery for the bit). There are so many other talented authors who are bringing the heat and the talent and I do hope that Yarros spiked their interest, to break out and read anything else after
this.
