About this listen

“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity." Xaden Riorson

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.

Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.

Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.

But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

Sadly Disappointing

I was so excited for this book to be disappointed. For me, the book felt rushed. First part felt like the same thing just different chapter. Yes, there was some good part but overall it was slow with retelling of information we already know from book one or just been told a chapteror two before. I struggled to pay attention and debated about DNFing as there are other books released on the same day that I alsl wanted to read. In part two, it was a lot better, making up for the first part one. In the end I would rate this book 3.5. I wanted more of the dragons

Loved Violets voice actor- she her execution was masterful! The voice actor for Zayden was awful.

Brilliant story! I absolutely loved the first book and loved this one too- I just tired of violets incessant self depreciation given what a strong character she was. The voice actor for Violet took these novels to another level- honestly one of the best I have listened to.

Excellent Read

This is one I'll be re reading whenever I've got nothing else to read. Now one of my top 5 stories.
The reader did a great job for the character, if anything, in the action highlights she was a little loud.

Who doesn't crave that love!

The connections the bonds it's just so 👌 you feel everything they feel I was wanting to yell at charaters while listening to this and she always ended up saying exactly how you felt the writer really know how to drag it out and satisfy the mind with perfect balance.

Very enjoyable - just a bit too much sex

Gripping, exciting story. Interesting and compellingly constructed world. A few too many and overly long sex scenes that didn’t add to the narrative or character building. But overall, I greatly enjoyed the book, the world and the characters. Looking forward to the next instalment … a lot.

Worthy sequel

Was worried the second wouldn’t live up to the first book but it did. If anything I enjoyed this one more.
