Resumen del Editor

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.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Almost as good as Fourth Wing

Anyone else sob listening to Chapter 10, when Liam came on? Pretty sure I’m traumatized by Fourth Wing.

So glad they kept same voices, I was worried they would change VAs, and I am so attached to these voices for the characters that it wouldn’t be the same without them.

My only negative about the whole thing is a few of my favorite lines are missing, most notably ““I’ll kiss you whenever you want because my self-control is shit where you’re involved—” “Whenever I want?” My brows shoot up. What the hell is happening right now? “Yes, whenever you want, because I’ll live with my mouth attached to yours if I do it whenever I want.””

Cannot wait for part 2!

Story excellent, delivery fell short this time around

Previously read the book and was so looking forward to the dramatised audio. Unfortunately was a bit let down compared to fourth wing performance. I felt like the delivery was lacking the right intonations and pace especially for Xaden compared to the delivery in book 1, it wasn’t giving the same calm arrogance and ruthless delivery consistently. For example the emotional speech between Xaden and Violet at the end of part 1 was spoken too fast and didn’t have the level of emotion expected to match how significant the words spoken were. Also did the voice actor for Bodhi change - this was another note able change vs book 1 that felt off. For new actors really enjoyed Varrish. Still really looking forward to part 2 but please consider for book 3 thanks!

Why Vy For Something More?

This is going to contain middling spoilers. This review is written before part 2 came out and I have no clue what's going to happen in part 2 of this book. Violet is useless. She faints. She breaks. She faints some more. She breaks. She lies. She's mad at boy for lying but lies. She breaks. She faints. She breaks again. Faints. Realizes friendship is KEY and omg she needs her friends. Why? Cause she breaks. She faints. She breaks. She faints some more. She breaks. She wakes up! Oh strong protagonist boyfriend that she is sooooo mad at but wants to save her from... Something. Anything. I'm almost surprised she can find a way to hold a spoon without him. But that I'm not sure because she really only eats when he's around. She's not really a hero in this book. Her character is useless with so many mid tier power ups that when she finally does SOMETHING or ANYTHING without breaking or fainting you just have to root for her. People die in this part that you don't remember and it finishes with how it started. With her hurt. Over... I don't know... Something stupid she couldn't overcome herself.

Binged all day!

Just finished listening and now I have to wait til the second part comes out. I don’t understand why I do this to myself! So amazing yet again!

Wow

The book itself is amazing but with the graphic audio !!!! This came alive !! Need the second part to come out SOON PLEASE

Incredible, I will only buy dramatized audiobooks from now on.

The sound effects the hidden aspect to the environment that you just don’t create in your mind as your reading is portrayed here. In unbelievable uniqueness that adds to the experience that put you in the story even deeper than you could imagine.

This is the place where you can feel the heat coming off of the flames protruding from the dragons as they torch somebody. No spoilers!

All the best to your next book. May be this one!

Xaden’s Voice Has Grown on Me

Loved it! I think it’s funny I recognize all the ACOTAR voice actors lol Tairn’s voice is still my favorite! I wasn’t a fan of Xaden in book 1 because I couldn’t stop imagining Lucien but I love him as Xaden now!

Love it!

Can’t wait for part 2!! Wish it comes sooner! The voices are perfect! Tairns voice is my favorite! The sound effects are amazing!

A must listen

Another amazing adaptation, great story that kept me jumping or out right yelling at work whilst listening. kept me on the edge of my seat and never stop guessing what was going to happen. NEED THIS SEREIS TO BE A SHOW!

Painful listen

I couldn’t get past the 2nd chapter. Too painful to listen to. Wish I hadn’t of wasted a credit on this!
