Violet doesn’t exist in a fully fleshed out world- the world suddenly exists as Violet needs to interact with it

I thought the multiple mentions of his eye color in this book was because Violet was constantly checking if they were turning red. It shows the nervousness and her need for him to stay human. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The characters have absolutely devolved. I loved Fourth Wing. Iron Flame and Onyx Storm were a chore I did in hopes of being amazed at the ending. I’m not amazed, I’m bored.

💯 for the devolved characters. What happened to everything Xaden gave to protect the rebels? Now all that matters is Vi. That’s not romance, that’s obsession

Idk why but it bugged me how many different characters replied with the singular word “Same”.

people are always explaining away world building criticism and confusing explanations with “we only know what violet knows” and it’s just soooo lazy to me

“My stomach lurches into my throat” “my stomach drops” phrases like this are used almost every other page in all of these books

My main issue was overuse of microtropes

I think it would have been so much better as multi-pov that way we could 1. Learn and care about different characters 2. We wouldn’t be stuck in Violet’s head (less rep) 3. Would give a more epic weig

Thank youuuu. It’s repetitive and duplicative

I also didn't love how all of a sudden she would count down between actions in battle, it just felt too choppy and took away from the immersive aspects that Fourth Wing had

I could barely finish fourth wing, hate read Iron flame, didnt even touch onyx storm and now I’m honestly loving all these reviews it’s getting.

If I read desiccates at the end of the book when they were fighting venin one more time, I was gonna lose it

Is it weird that I literally agree with all of your points and yet I still ate this book up? 😭 Like, is something wrong with me? 😂

same problem happened w/SJMs final CC book. I think these authors get so big and editors just tell them yes its good or they just ignore editors alltogether/rush to publish for $ sacrificing quality

Mom on the Move :
I think the thing I missed the most is she didn’t use information the settle her the same way she did especially in fourth wing. It’s like a pivotal factor in her character that kinda got left behind

I have such mixed feelings about this book. I think maybe it was too rushed.

I liked the world building in this one but I wish the map was updated. I kept flipping back to the map to reference and half the book wasn’t there
