What happened?!? Fourth Wing was one of the best books I’ve ever read. This…. This was sloppily written, the sex scenes were random, and Violet and Xaden (who I would have died for in book 1) ruined the entire book by being dishonest and secretive with each other. They now have an extremely toxic relationship somehow. And it’s mostly Violets fault, though Xaden sure kept too many secrets he shouldn’t have. Violet was badass but is now whiny and childish. They’re both childish. It was awful. The middle had good parts but ugh… over halfway through I had to find a synopsis so I didn’t have to read anymore. I’ll try to read the third book because the first was impeccable, but Iron Flame was a big fuck up in my book.
