**Spoilers for Fourth Wing below**
In this highly anticipated sequel to the buzzy Fourth Wing, Violet Sorrengail is grappling with the many revelations of the past few months: that dark wizard venin actually exist, and that the government her mother is so intrinsically tied to is actively denying that fact while leaving civilians as defenseless fodder; that her long-dead brother Brennan is actually alive and a leader in the secret rebellion against the government; and that Xaden, the man who she finally learned to trust as much as she loves, knew about all of this and didn't tell her. And while she comes to term with all of it, she has to keep moving and learning, because the threats from both the venin and the government aren't stopping anytime soon, leaving Violet with little notion of who to trust, how much, and with what information.
A lot of times, there's a bit of a sophomore slump in these series, but Yarros does an excellent job of keeping up the pace and the interest in this book without making the twists seem contrived. Of course it had to end on a cliffhanger, so I know I'm not the only one who's looking forward to the next installment in this series.
