“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity." Xaden Riorson Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end. The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order. Book #1 Fourth Wing Book #2 Iron Flame

I loved it. It's a very entertaining fantasy novel. The ending is unexpected. Definitely not expected. But I had a great time with this book. More than the story the characters are amazing. Worth it.

Steer clear of this one. Could have read the entire plot in 5 minutes and would have saved almost 29 hours of utter drivel. No world building, jumping off from characters to characters, creating fake arguments from thin air. At least Fourth Wing had some novelty and a little mystery to it. The sequel had potential but missed to make a mark.

She overdid this book. Too much going on in too little time!
