3rd time reading this and still loving it. We’re just about to read about Violet and Xaden sparring for the first time 👀

I love how this book gives you everything you need. Yes the romance and tension is hot but the storyline between friends and cadets also keeps you interested and committed to this world. Throughout this book I love scenes like this. So far, there’s no Xaden and Violet interactions, it’s just about the squad and how they work together.

“Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?” XADEN!!!!

I knew he would be one of the first to properly acknowledge she’s more than what gossip suggests. She’s feisty not frail, and he sees her for what she is. AHHHH

Violet is constantly reminded how brittle she is. How fragile and breakable she is. I didn’t realise it the first time I read FW, but wow, she has to deal with a lot of noise from people voicing their concerns. She is so headstrong to keep pushing through. Just having the confidence to believe in her own ability makes her so much stronger than anyone could fathom. She never cracks.
