Don’t worry I won’t hit publish straight away at the crack of dawn. That can wait til after coffee.

Notes on 37:

The last chapter was utterly devastating. Surely more survive than die?

Also how did they know this base was going to be the next target and why? Are they in league?

Well she used everything she had. Good on her. I mean a bit risky but sometimes it’s got to be done. Now what was the poison they used?

Notes on 38:

Goldilocks is so pure.

I hope they work out the poison for antidotes.

Where are they taking her?

Notes on 39

Oh no. The author did the thing where they suddenly start swapping perspectives. Is she actually going to die?

Oh god he’s memorialising her alive.

Oh she’s awake.

Also Melgren… no wonder he made the no more than 3 rule and also creepy much.

She doesn’t trust him. Well I wouldn’t either but still. It’s easily broken and can take lifetimes to recover.

He’s alive!!! He’s alive!!!! Whaaaaat???!!!!

Bonus content chapter notes. 9:

Oh their first fight on the mat. Ok.

Oooo he’s worked out she’s attracted to him.

I like it.

Notes on 16:

Dain should have been infantry, all he does is follow orders.

He’s doing well not to punch Dain. I want to.

Oh he knew exactly what he was doing exposing Dain like that.

It’s nice to see Sgaeyl is a match in Tairn for conversation.

Glad Xaden saw Violets “eww” moment after kissing Dain. I’m sure a lot of us had that moment.

Yes please!

I have a question.

So now Violet’s life is tied to his almost. Is her mother still going to force Xaden to die with the deal they made if a rebels kid decides to.. you know rebel? I have the vibe her mother was the one who forced that deal so like, is she really going to enforce it ?

I mean her whole career is her life but her kids? I dunno.

I assume we know about the deal because someone will rebel at some point.

Anyway.

Notes for 31:

She wants him to open up so badly.

Note from dad subtly confirms it’s not just folklore it’s fact. Why do they never see what we do? That’s the point I know.

Ok he’s just as stubborn as he is and refusing to catch feels doesn’t work. Not like that. Not when the chemistry is like that.

At least she’s sensible. Glad she returned the ouch though. She didn’t need to carry that one. By gods do these two flirt even when saying “hey you don’t want me to catch feels back off”.

I’m glad she stuck up for her own feelings though.

Why is the king really visiting?

Does Liam know they can talk to each other brain to brain?

Who gave Dain permission to speak ?

Party time! What is going on with Dain ? Why so nice? What is he up to?

Notes for 32:

Oh she’s at last admitting her complete feels.

Yes!!!! That’s what we like to see a good old romantic speach/conversation.

Not much conversation beyond that 😉

What interruption??? Dude…

Notes for 33:

People died? I swear if this book makes me cry I’ll be pissed.

Nope it’s a war game.

Tairn up to his tricks got me chuckling out loud.

Look at Xaden pulling ranks and picking top tier teams.

Who the hell keeps giving Dain the pain permission to speak!!!!

Oh Dain finally clicked they’re a thing.

Ok I feel there’s something incredibly dodgy going on with where they are sending Xaden. I think Dain might have knowledge or inkling. I think it’s trash he gets a beyond the wards spot. I think something is afoot and I don’t like the spidey senses I’m getting.

Well I can’t stop now.

Notes for 34:

Ok so the lake seems nice. I don’t know why it gives danger vibes though. Like menacing when this is just an “exercise” y type thing.

Are they really gonna do it by a lake?

What is Xaden doing????!!!!!?????

Ok I can just about fit one more chapter in because I can’t stop this addiction now… notes for 35:

I knew venin were real.

Oh boy I hope she gives Xaden a hard time.

Oof even the dragons lied. God I feel sad for her.

Can this book stop hitting me in the feels and the guts. This is brutal.

Dain knew that Violet going would be a suicide mission. How do you empty an outpost that valuable just to kill a bunch of kids?

Dain is such C U Next Tuesday. Reading her memories without her consent. Ergh mind grapy vibes.

Fine you twisted my arm. One more chapter. Notes on 36:

Well this is a nasty twist of fate if the Benin are there. How is it an accident? It’s a set up surely?

Oooo no there’s wyvern. That village is so fucked.

This girl and her dragon sass.

Gryphons and dragons can chat!

Not Liam.

Not Liam.

Revenge.

Just trying to fit in a quick chapter to read.

Notes for chapter 30:

Where were we.. oh yeah she kissed him… now what?

What is with everyone telling her what she wants?

Woah finally both admitting without a mask that they want each other.

I do not have the poker face I need to be reading this.

They broke furniture!! At least the bed survived lol. Priorities.

Wait so if one single one of those 107 kids rebels he’s a dead man? How the ???

Lightning lessons fun. Oh point blank being told to keep it professional because if they find Xaden and her loyalty is to each other their combined power will make them a target.

Tairn behave yourself. lol.

At least she will work on her aim I guess.

Ok I really fancy chicken wings, like the kind that makes me ill, from a chicken shop not the big brand name one, a family run one.

Ok that aside she stole a map and now I’m thought noting chapter 26:

Before we begin I really hate that Jack is still alive and isn’t dead yet I feel it’s going to be a massive loss in order for them to kill him off like he has to do something obscene.

Do not run off to see your family Rhiannon it will end in tears.

Omg her sister!!!! Some genuine advice for her to get her signet that isn’t a waste of time.

Oh and now Xaden pops up out of nowhere this will be fun.

I’m surprised they weren’t more caught than Xaden turning up.

Notes for 27:

I see not everyone is happy for Xaden to arrive. Hmmm.

Omg they can talk through their dragons mating bond… ohhhh no that’s not good he might hear her thoughts about … things.

Omg it’s turned into a Xaden and Dain pissing contest. lol

I like the sister putting Dain in his place. It’s good to see more people calling out his sanctimonious bullshit.

I like seeing Mira get to know him and settle her own worries a bit in this chapter.

Why did the wards drop? Why now?

No are they about to loose the keep???

Notes on 28:

At least Xaden brought her coffee. Don’t see Dain making that kind of effort.

Oh I bet he’d ruin her 😉

Romance ninja…

Yes!!!! No losses!!! No one died in the raid.

Yay Goldilocks cuddles!

Ahh she’s making a decent effort to get to know Xaden.

I’m going to bet that her mother gave him those scars.

War games… it must be weird seeing people randomly talking to dragons in their heads.

Ahhhh look at Tairn doing something to make Violets life easier. A saddle… not sure it is consistently going to be convenient.

I do have a soft spot for Tairn. Ahhh Goldilocks is joining in.

Nooo they can’t kill Liam!!! Bloody knew Jack would be an absolute nightmare and do something like that.

She better seek vengeance.

Yes!!! Go for it! Lightening girl!!! Thor but frail.

Well I can’t stop there 29:::

Oh there is going to be a toll to that power.

Gods Dain is a stifling shit.

Wait Xaden is shadow and she’s lightening… haha cutesy.

I’m surprised Tairns been quiet in another Dain vs Xaden spat.

Oh she’s got to keep the secret.

Ohhhh Xaden is in her room. Will they finally sort it out? I like that they’re talking, really talking. Although I’m guessing they will go further next chapter.

Keeping on with these notes. 24:

Well looks like her family have her pegged as unable to take a death blow.

At least Xaden was there when she woke up. Saved by an orange. Ha!

Oh are they finally gonna talk about the kiss?

Oh he’s taking over her … training… in a professional incentive?

Training banter… ooo tell me they have a moment please!

He’s giving her a dagger. Kinda romantic. In a not trying to be romantic way. Ok training doesn’t seem to be very professional. Just saying.

Xaden constantly pulling her out of class is obviously going to piss of Dain the pain and his rules obsession.

God what is wrong with her mother. Strange way to interact with your own child you’ve not seen for months. She liked kids enough to have 3 but because this one is a bit funky she’s not interested?

Still at least she’s flying today. Yay Goldilocks.

Oh I do like Tairn.

Notes for 25:

Oh does this challenge have anything to do with the battle briefs?

Omg breaking into her mother’s office!!! Girls playing with fire!!!

They stole a map. Ha! Inventive.

Really genuinely enjoyed this chapter of mischief and how the map works in their favour. Perfect. I bet there’s consequences to it though.
