WARNING — minor spoilers ahead!! You have been warned.

If I hadn’t wanted to know which one she’d kill, I would’ve stopped reading halfway through. Isla gets very annoying at times with her I love him, I hate him game. I get that she’s dealing with her trauma the best she knows how, but it felt like the author had a word quota to fill and was just using filler to met that quota.

The ending really saved the book for me. The cliffhanger (which I will NOT give away!) makes me believe that this isn’t just a trilogy and that there must be more books. Will I read them? Yes. Will Isla still drive me nuts? Also yes. lol

I’d heard several people say this was a good book and that was an understatement! It’s an amazing book! Well written and thoroughly researched, the reader feels like they are there with the characters. I’ve only learned bits and pieces about the Vietnam war in school (I was born in 1977) so this book was very eye opening. If you enjoy historical books, you will love this one!

Honestly, I only decided to read this book because it was written by Rebecca Yarros and I love Fourth Wing/Iron Flame. But I’m so glad I did!! It’s not fantasy, but rather a World War II/Modern Romance mashup.

The story hooked me from the very beginning and I grew to love the MCs. And to hate her mother and ex-husband. The storyline moves along at a very good pace.

And the twist she put in there I NEVER saw coming!! I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. The narrators are very good too.

The first book was good and this was great! Reminded me of when I first read Iron Flame…including not being okay at the end. I’m looking forward to the next book!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book and it surprised me at every turn. Made me question things — some I already had, some were new to me. I highly recommend this book to anyone who questions whether or not they’re doing the right thing or even what the meaning of life is. Just be prepared to question everything.

Book 1 was amazing, so book 2 had some very big shoes to fill. It did NOT disappoint!! It’s a crazy ride, but so worth it. And the narrator is spot on!

Another great installment in the wonderful world that Sarah J Maas is creating for us. The last few pages will have you screaming (I know I was!!) So, so good!!!

I loved the sound of Harry’s voice for his audiobook. It’s a captivating and heartbreaking all at the same time. Definitely worth the credit.

I loved the characters and the storyline. Seeing the characters grow and develop was thoroughly enjoyable. I’d love a follow up novel where we see Wei find her true love. ☺️

I enjoyed the content of the book and it definitely made me think about the things that happen in my life and how I’m responsible for them.

With that being said, I need to address the numerous technical issues with this audio book. While listening on my wireless ear pods, I could hear an echo. When I listened in my car, it sounded like the narrator was in an echo chamber. Lastly, there are long pauses at the end of each chapter to where you think Audible has paused your book for no reason.

I hope Audible will fix these and re-release the audiobook, as I’d like to listen to it again but I’m not sure I can stomach it the way it currently is.
