Steady on it’s time to run head first into chapter 20 notes:

The little snippet of letter at the top is so in love. It’s adorable that they’re both idiots.

Graduation requirements could prove to be tricky if she can’t perform a running landing. Tairn is trying his best.

Why the kiss?

Mira and Xaden in the same outpost. One way to wipe out both the people she loves.

At least some bonding time.

Oh she’s gonna learn some more about the wards. Super. If only Mira believed her. But maybe she did and is steering the direction to protect her?

Holy cow Xaden and Violet aren’t fighting for once.

Why is he so hard to block out with these shields? Is he a mind reader?

Notes on 21:

Ok what is going on with Nolon the healer. Looks like a longer waitlist than trying to get a dentist these days.

Another assassination of a resson survivor. Ummm anyone gonna connect some dots?

Woah the class Devera is leading… I hope someone’s brain actually connects the dots. Again.

Oh no she’s stood next to Dairn. Please tell me he doesn’t say or do anything stupid.

Fuck sake. He did the stupid thing.

Violet is such a hypocrite. How sanctimonious she is about how Xaden’s been keeping secrets.

Oh at least Rhi is smart. Sharp as a button.

Cam/Aaric or whatever his name is seems nice. The light to the dark of Xaden

Chapter 22 notes:

Something tells me that was not a dream. Not a normal one. It’s a different kind.

How can Xaden read varrish’s intentions so clearly.

Notes on 23:

Don’t eat the food you idiots. I bet it will silence bonds.

It’s the drink. Explains the very dry biscuits.

As long as they don’t drink toilet water it’s ok. It’s only a torture sequence.

At least she is able to keep her sarcasm going.

Ooof Varish. Why always Varish.

Notes on 24:

Damn that’s why the healer is so drawn out. Mending what Dain breaks.

Extending interrogation. Does the general have no idea what is happening in her school?

So Violets knives can’t remove wards as much as they can kill things??? I want some cool knives like that.

I can’t help it. I need more and don’t have long to read.

Notes on 17

I wonder what was ignored entirely during the establishing of the wards.

Imogen is actually becoming solidly decent… take it she might be on the death roll soon.

Xaden’s not a letter writing kind of guy but he does it for her.

Imogen actually gives solid advice. She’s growing on me.

Oh that notice is dodgy. I don’t doubt it. Who did it though?

What is going on at Montserrat?

That notice suggests people fleeing the venin.

Devera most likely knows. Maybe even disagrees.

Propaganda. Hypocrisy is strong in that one.

Why the hell is she running to the scribes.

Notes on 18:

He seems so surprised to be called beautiful. Bless Xaden’s cute flirts with her.

Ooh at least she’s being forthright about why she’s reading those books even if it doesn’t look like she’s getting further.

Fighting mentally with each other in front of people isn’t exactly a good look.

Why does him saying he’s an incredible judge of character raise a suspicion that it’s not an accident he says that.

Bodhi’s been telling on Violet a lot.

The healer Nolon had been tortured I’d bet on it for all information on Violet.

I’m glad jesinia is a decent character. She needs someone right now who can fill in the blanks.

Xaden is just digging himself a hole.

Notes on 19:

Always with Varish. Ergh. His dragon seems unhinged. Like completely unhinged just like him.

Tairn… oh my god.

Varish will make her pay for Tairn humiliating him so badly.

I’m glad she opens up to Rhi even if it was briefly

I am addicted!!!

Notes on 12:

Going to Xadens out post. Would be a good time for another assassination attempt really if you think about it. Far from school.

Fighting for time off quite literally.

Hmmm. I still want to know who the girl is Bhodi mentioned. Why?

Ok so they can kiss but they can’t fix the damage. Hmm.

Ok nice lesson on how and why the venin daggers but why all this background info. Where is it leading to?

Why don’t I trust her brother?

There’s something that doesn’t sit right with a lot going on. I know Violet trusts Bhodi but I can’t put my finger on why I don’t.

Notes on 13:

What is this above the chapter heading about punishments there for? Not a fun omen.

What is the brig?

Also varrish is a twat. Just a reminder.

Burn out results in a sunburn like feeling… where does her power pull from?

Sloane is too stubborn. It’s bordering on stupid.

Why is a bag over her head??????

Notes on 14:

So a navigation exercise with no dragon connection.

Ahhh a bonding experience for them. With the regular squaddies in infantry.

Oh that was awkward i guess. Maybe a set up for the next chapter?

Notes on 15:

Well they failed that. Did no one consider overlapping the maps at all? Maybe they were halves of a map whole.

Oh well not my circus not my monkeys.

I just hope Violet finds a way to talk to Rhi, something tells me she’d believe her.

Notes on 16:

Thank god she’s talking to someone. Even in half truths. But at least she trusts someone.

What does Jesinia want in return?

I wonder what’s going on with healer Nolan. He keeps getting mentioned.

Sloane’s fight. That girl is stubborn as a mule. Finally. She gives in under duress though. But who cares.

Varish is popping up too much like a bad smell. Ergh. I bet he put something in her bag.

And so we continue…

Chapter 9 notes: looks like a long chapter.

I wonder how that burn ointment works.

Imogen actually looks like she could be a decent friend after all.

I am getting on board with the vimogen friendship.

Lesson time. What lies now?

Markham is a bad vibe now for sure.

The propaganda bloody sucks.

Has Rhi realised there’s information missing. Nope it’s about the healers but I bet it’s connected.

At least the assessment on the mats is interesting. Sloane is an idiot. But that won’t change any time soon.

Eww jacks mini me that’s not mini. He killed Nadine because he thought she was Violet.

10 notes:

Dain’s dad sent an assassin for her. Fuck. Thank goodness she actually learnt from the last year.

Rah. Obviously she was going to survive. But still.

Oof looks like training sequence for Sloane coming up.

Oooo glad Xaden is back. Late.

Better late than never.

They didn’t talk enough. I want more.

Well at least he wrote a letter but I’d bet it’s tiny.

She does have an obsession with full disclosure and truth. I relate but it’s not exactly comforting to relate to being a bulldog.

Notes on 11:

She seems happy with the letter. Content.

Oh her scribe friend. I wonder what an ancient king has to do with it.

Oh a heavily redacted letter from Mira.

I hope varrish dies painfully.

I hope we get to know Bhodi more and this one doesn’t die.

Ergh varrish needs to die. He’s got such a bad vibe.

It’s not just Violet with assassination attempts it seems which is kind of reassuring but I would rather they don’t succeed.

Yes I hate Dain.

Chapter 6 notes:

The riders make their own rules.

Did Aetos the old seriously threaten Violet and basically anyone she loves.

Well that’s an interesting way to say goodbye after receiving a death threat.

Glad Rhi got some recognition and a promotion.

C7 notes:

Ok so I don’t think that’s how Nadine hurt herself at all. Ssomething doesn’t sit right.

Ooo so the dragons are reluctant to bond to battle the venin however what secrets they are hiding I am curious.

RSC class doesn’t sound like it will be a bundle of laughs.

Ooooo hunting for the reasons for the wards locations and how they work I imagine.

That’s a lot of faith in heavily doctored history.

C8 notes:

Outrageous that Dain even approached her.

Well that’s an awkward parapet group.

I wonder what the deal is with fake name boy. Green eyes. Familiar to them. Why?

Ohhhh he’s the kings third son.

Liam’s sister. Awwwwwwww

Woah I take it back. She’s likely to try killing Violet.

Why did Dain pull someone who hates Violet into her section unless he wants to control or kill ?

Ewww Dain is not exactly mr charisma or inspiration.

The new majors dragon is problematic.

Yes Tairn!!!!! My favourite dragon.
