Incredibly bored.
I don't understand what their relationship is meant to be. They aren't friends, they aren't enemies, they aren't even frenemies. The insta-lust was pretty much instantaneous, so they are stuck in this weird courting limbo where they flirt heavily but never do anything about it. And that would be fine if it didn't feel so fruitless, considering all they do is mentally fuck eachother all day but there is no tension to speak of.
This is so long and for what? If this is what it's gonna be like for the rest of the book, then Imma go ahead and listen to the wise words TJ had said to me:
"I'd recommend finishing it to most people but prob not you"...more

I put this book down one night and never had the energy to pick it up again, so this is me quitting.
The pacing was done so poorly. We went from constant adrenaline rushes in fourth wing, to endless info dumpy politics of Iron Flame. Maybe all those info dumps were important (I'm saying 'maybe' because I literally forgot them all) but they sure were boring.
The romance went downhill too. Violet crying half the book about Xaden lying killed all the chemistry I felt for them. By the time they were back together I was flipping right over those sex scenes. The funniest part is you'd think her self-reghteous ass would understand why lying was necessary once she herself was put in the same position. She knows what's at stake here. Maybe get over yourself?
tbh I think the only reason I got this far is because I was waiting for Andarna to wake tf up...more

I take it back. I hope kent never writes russian characters again. She probably thinks if we don't bathe in vodka two times a day our bodies would simply combust into a million siberian snow flakes...more

This book wasn't necessarily bad. I actually don't have any strong feelings about it. It's the type of story you have to read in one go, because the moment you put it down, you won't care enough to pick it back up. Precisely why I'm dnfing. I know what drama unfolds anyway, and it isn't giving me any motivation to continue either...more
