Finished reading this last night before going to bed and I enjoyed reading about how threshing day went for different characters. It was interesting to see that particular day through the eyes of different characters and how they dealt with it. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike reading everything through Violet’s point of view (or Tairn’s and Andarna’s). I enjoyed seeing things from the point of view from other characters and see how they handled Threshing on their own…..it’s almost like we get this small glimpse into this person’s life (for a little bit, at least).
{Note: I would definitely recommend reading Fourth Wing, Iron Flame and Onyx Storm before reading this book. You might find some spoilers if you don’t. Also, this series is recommended for adults.}
Synopsis: Welcome to Threshing Day, the brutal, high-stakes trial where would-be riders at Basgiath War College fight to earn the bond of a dragon or die trying. Amid ruthless competition and dragon fire, these thirteen cadets must survive a battlefield where desperate rivals will do anything to gain an advantage and dragons decide one’s ultimate fate―and where a single choice can forge a rider…or destroy them.
Xaden Riorson, the powerful leader. Rhiannon Matthias, the clever friend. Dain Aetos, the dutiful rule-follower. Liam Mairi, the kindhearted protector. Ridoc Gamlyn, the jokester. Sawyer Henrick, the underdog. Garrick Tavis, the dependable aide. Imogen Cardulo, the impulsive fighter. Bodhi Durran, the second-in-command. Mira Sorrengail, the fearless rider. Brennan Sorrengail, the brilliant tactician. Aaric Graycastle, the restless royal. Sloane Mairi, the determined sister.
On Threshing Day, there’s only one rule: don’t die.
{Note: Though Threshing Day can be enjoyed as an introduction to the series, due to contained spoilers, it is best read after Onyx Storm.}
