this second book is in this addicting fantasy series and starts with two parts and a wonderful quote in the blurb  you get sucked back into the romantasy with violet and xaden as they navigate basgiath war college as dragon riders i appreciate the warning about the content at the beginning of the book violet is still mystified by the surprise in the last book  the parts back at the war college are very political but also heartbreaking as they go from lovers back to friends and from forced proximity to enforced separation the second year for violet is just as volatile as the first  her relationship and experience are complicated this second year with xaden she is not there and still has targets on her back  the backandforth banter and fated relationship pull this story along as they are separated this year violet is much more robust and xaden is more truthful but they still cant get over the secrets between them this story does get steamy this storys antagonist is major varrish but i must discover all the whys what is with bringing back previous characters like violet needs one more challenge their missions seem to always land them on the wrong side of the school authority but with every risk comes a great reward or a nearcertain punishment this book gets very dark toward the end violet is looking bleak and i am waiting for xaden to rescue her part one of this book ends with a new chapter in their lives part two this book is more rebellious than the last but you still get violet and xaden however the vibes in the storyline are very different they are still fighting for survival but in a different formthis second year has a lot more juvenile interactions with jealousy anger and miscommunication in the relationship between xaden and violet the first book was primarily concerned with their survival and this book is more about all the emotions it reads very young adults in maturity but new adults in interactions their interactions with the viscount are twisted once again putting violet in danger the love triangle goes back again in this story as an ongoing trope i love xaden alphas protective side and his excellent care in gentle interactions he isnt in this story as much as it is mostly violet the end of this story is an epic fantasy riddled with intense action heroic moments and amazing powers omg this book ends with one heck of a twist
