-I'm taking this too seriously?Need I remind you this book is 544 pages?That is a long book, so after editing, Yarros said "no this is essential to my book".If she wants me to pay the same, if not more money for this book as I have paid for books that lifted my heart with joy, then I will treat this book to the same standard. How about you stop reminding me about better books and actually commit to a charachter arc

Xaden - "Yes". SHES DONE IT AGAIN

...with such a UNIQUE NAME??? "hmm what should a call my rip-off of spice from Dune for my new book onyx storm? Aw well, my main charachter is called violet, and violet is a shade of purple! Haha! I'm so smart and clever". NO, ITS STUPID AND DUMB. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS

some people would say this is an homage, and to them I say you're wrong. This book has NO cross over with Dune. And to those that say...

...that she'd forget what inspiration meant and just reduce one of the most whacky and bonkers but developed out features of Dune, to what is entirely an aesthetic. Like, literally just changed names "it's a mineral called violodrite" and it makes their eyes turn purple from excessive use. They have it on EVERYTHING on the isle. VIOLEDRITE???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? how could she have possibly come up...

Onyx storm ripping off the spice melange from dune was not in my bingo card.

Yarros wants Frank Herbert's nachos so bad.

I BET you, she was writing this section for the wisdom island, and had no clue how to distinguish it, so decided to go to the movies to try and get some inspiration.

But when she rocked up and presumably saw Dune Part 1 or 2, she just forgot what inspiration meant and decided...SEE NeXT POST
