Book description
October 12, 2023
I'm still thinking about Violet Sorrengail's voice in my ears, even hours after the audiobook ended. You know that moment when you're listening to a story and the narrator gets it-their tone, the pauses, the way they make you feel Violet's exhaustion, her fury, her quiet, unbreakable resolve? That's this audiobook. The narrator doesn't just read it; they live it with her, especially during those raw, late-night moments where Violet's whispering to herself, "I am not weak." You hear the grit in her voice, the way it cracks but never breaks.
Rebecca Yarros didn't just write a sequel-she forged a fire. Violet's journey through Basgiath War College isn't just about surviving brutal training (though the scenes with that new Vice Commandant? Pure, slow-burn tension). It's about realizing she's been underestimated her whole life, and now? She's not just surviving. She's claiming her power. The line about "dragon riders making their own rules" isn't just a phrase-it's the heartbeat of the story, and the audiobook makes it echo in your bones.
What I loved most? The way the narrator leans into Violet's intelligence. You don't just hear her fight; you hear her think. When she's mapping out strategies in her head during grueling drills, or when she's confronting that secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath, the audio makes you lean in, heart pounding. It's not loud, dramatic heroics-it's quiet, fierce knowing that she's seen what others haven't. And the stakes? They're crushing. You feel that ache in your chest when she realizes nothing-nothing-may save them in the end.
The audiobook's magic is in its intimacy. It's not a grand, sweeping epic; it's a whispered promise to Violet, and to us, that even when the world tries to break you, your will is the fire that outlasts the cold. I kept pressing play on my commute, not because I had to, but because I needed to hear her voice, her resolve, her refusal to let anyone define her worth. It's a reminder that the strongest things often start small, like a spark in the dark. And honestly? I'm already counting the days until the next chapter. You'll feel it too. Just press play.
