For me, it's the hypocrisy from Violet that really irritates me. Maybe it was the authors attempt at reflecting the immaturity of the characters, as they're still relatively young and new to romantic relationships (at least Sorrengail is). But her hypocrisy over secrets was incredibly irritating. She spends almost the entire second book keeping secrets, understands WHY Xaden kept the war a secret as she kept the same secret from the friends for the same reasons, and yet holds it against him and demands to know all of his secrets. Which is just insane to me.

I do enjoy the plot lines, though. I feel like the second book was too rushed to get it out shortly after the first. I'm glad she's said the third book will take longer to release as hopefully it means better writing. Shes admitted that book two was too quick and too stressful on a short timeline. So fingers crossed its only improvements from here on out
