Okay, this book. This book has just crowned Xaden as my number one book boyfriend. That burn the world trope has got me good.

I have to say I think the tension in their relationship is being stretched *just* a little bit beyond believable because we know this man is a good guy and I do struggle to maintain believable when Vi whines about him keeping secrets. I do have a small eye roll at the self sacrifice stuff because, let's face it, you're both cray cray for eachother so just do the trust thing.

However, none of that matters because this book STRUNG ME OUT. The STRESS. It crawled along a bit at the start and I was missing my fix of shadow daddy but the second half ramped it up seriously and from halfway onwards it was all good.

Leaving the relationship aside (I know, how dare I) I am loving travelling further out into the world and seeing some life outside Navarre. It's still kind of single minded and we don't get enough of life in general but the plot is plotting, the dragons are delightful as always and there were some great characters introduced here and some of them actually survive until the end!

Come on Onyx Storm that ending had me wanting I hurl this book across the room.
