I devoured the first book for the tension and the dragons. I read the second book because I needed to know if Violet Sorrengail would survive her own heart. Spoiler alert: She doesn’t make it easy. Demir Alev 2 picks up exactly where Fourth Wing left off. And by "picks up," I mean it throws you directly into the emotional wreckage of that betrayal.
But it is also unputdownable .

Rebecca Yarros proves that she isn't just riding the "romantasy" wave; she is steering the ship. This book asks the hard question: What happens after the happily ever after gets interrupted by war?
If you thought the first year at Basgiath War College was brutal, grab your dragon-scale armor and a box of tissues. Rebecca Yarros has done it again.
However, be prepared for . This book ends on a cliffhanger that makes the ending of Fourth Wing look like a gentle lullaby. I stared at the wall for twenty minutes after finishing it. The Final Verdict Demir Alev 2 is not a comfortable read. It is long. It is messy. Violet makes frustrating decisions, and the plot sometimes moves at a breakneck pace that leaves you dizzy.
Turkish readers, get ready for a hero who is frustratingly noble and infuriatingly secretive. The "I need you to trust me without me telling you anything" trope usually makes me roll my eyes, but Yarros walks a tightrope here. You will want to shake Xaden. You will want to hug him. And by the end, you will understand why he is the way he is.
