violet is stronger than me because the first time dane would've mentioned he found a way for me to go back to the scribe squadrant i would've been GONE 🏃🏻‍♀🏃🏻‍♀🏃🏻‍♀

i feel like all the criticisms have already been said so here's my sparknotes:

  • violet is so op 😭😭 first time i wished for a chosen one bc why is she getting all this power
  • least safe school since hogwarts, i though u wanted dragon riders??
  • ik i just argued the opposite for "powerless" but sorry victoria aveyard called she wants her mc back

nevertheless, even as i thought i was gonna be able to be pretentious and hate this, i loved it!

violet is such a good mc and as someone who's also chronically ill, i loved that she was, too! she's such a sweetheart (at least at first 🤭) and i could really feel for her!

xaden...the man u are. shadow daddy. morally grey. hot. has daggers. kills people for violet. what more could u want???

the worldbuilding is so obvious but ik yarros was trying to be sly 😭 gotta appreciate the effort and also it made me grin so

the plot isn't revolutionary (pun intended) but honestly i'm mainly here for xaden (so is violet)

didn't predict the ending!! so excited!!!
