"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.

Rated 5 starsExcellent sci-fi fantasy series!
Loving this series. I’m almost at the end of the second book and have pre-ordered the third. These books are pretty big, but I have hardly noticed because I’m getting through them in no time and I’m not a super fast reader. Super apresh the dragon presence in this series.

Rated 5 starsFantastic!
I read the first book in this series which is Fourth Wing. I couldn't put it down. So HAD to get the second book which is this one to find out what happened next. I really enjoy this series.

Rated 5 starsThe obsession continues
My only complaint is the cliff hanger with no release date of the third book!!! This is a slower read than fourth wing but still so good! Definitely need to be read in order to get the impact!

Rated 5 starsIf you read Fourth Wing, you know.
The only complaint is that the ending leaves you craving sooo much more. I want to live in a world where this story is complete because it is so good.
