Felt like my memory had been wiped prior to reading this as the first 30% I kept on having to double check who certain characters actually were.
This review is really just an unedited jumbled collection of my thoughts.

This very much felt like the middle book in a series, as the ending just left me with a dozen burning questions, that will (I hope) be answered in the final two books.
Spent a lot of this book waiting for the ball to drop after the ending of book 2. And it definitely heightened my anxiety throughout the story.

“ I can’t. I won’t. I refuse to lose him, for him to lose himself.”
Side note: I always forget their wear flight goggles. Just completely changes my image of them on the back of dragons (although, it does make sense).
Even though I’d just completed my reread of Iron Flame, there were so many characters in leadership, and elsewhere that I felt like I needed another glossary just to keep track.
Once we got into some of the action/ quest it was less focus on politics and I found it more engaging. Whilst Halden isn’t your typical evil character, I think he is one of the most dangerous.
“He did Halden things and caused Halden-style ramifications…”
Continue to love the dynamic between Violet and her dragons. Whilst there were aspects that made me teary, not unlike Violet.
“Relief pricks at my eyes, and my vision wobbles. “Do not dehydrate on my account,” he lectures.”
Wasn’t expecting to fall in love with some of the side characters (Garrick, Dain “Don’t I know it” and Ridoc!)
““I’m going to hurt you.” “Gods, don’t I know it.”
Some other highlighted quotes:
“I will save him.” My throat tightens. “And not just because I can’t fathom living without him. I’m selfish when it comes to loving him, and maybe a little self-destructive lately—”
“I know that’s a shitty thing to say after you lost your mother—” “Pain isn’t a competition,” I assure him. “There’s always enough to go around.”
