I don’t think this book is for me

Well she’s basically blamed therapist then teachers now onto parents

First “wait a minute moment” of the book. Author is citing stories from teachers about how teens are unable to do for themselves and throwing fits, she points out they are on meds but isn’t this a parenting issue.

Interesting and thought provoking

I’m not sure if I’m going to finish this

I feel like Sarah took the main plot from Frozen and Moana.

Started slow and I thought there was no way I would finish but it’s piqued my interest

If this becomes a movie and they don’t select an actress who is pale skinned and weak like a baby deer…. They have selected the wrong character for Violets portrayal based on the descriptors Yarros has given

Please for the love of all that is good in this world. Take 18 months to realize the third book, fire your current editing team and get a new one. I volunteer to do it for free. There is so much potential here!!!

The portrayal of General Sorrengail does not give me the impression that she would have allowed Violet to snap at her.

Editing Frustration: I think they flipped 5 pages and then picked a word googled the word and thesaurus, picked one that sounded interesting.

There is a great deal of potential but the editing was truly missing. I’m torn between the idea that Yarros was actually pitching a new TV series and there are just loads of ideas thrown up in a sequential order OR the entire editing team and Yarros subscribe to the theory of done is better than perfect. So much potential here but really think it needs a better editing team to smooth things out.
