I saw a theory saying Cat might save Xaden by sacrificing herself to amplify Darth Xader’s love for Violet…at first, ijbol, but then…I thought maybe that could be iconic 🤔 and why does she have that damn red ruby if not to make her power more powerful
Before you say he has rune daggers 🛑 Rhiannon can simply take them off his person
Thoughts?
Not a single pile of stinking shit was given
How many people he kill 👺🥊
I would have paid 1,000,000 gems for them to psychoanalyze Darth Xader right in front of his face
I think Tecarus wanted Sgaeyl in Cordyn more than he wanted Xaden in Cordyn and that is a big reason why Xaden didn’t agree to stay there to use the luminary. It was Tecarus’s hope that Sgaeyl would have eggs there eventually and I think he wanted a hatching ground in Krovla for some reason.
The Krovlan rebels were trying to steal tailfeathers during their Uprising to give to their island allies, but maybe they wanted dragons to return to Krovla as well. Blue dragons are native to Cordyn, that’s what Violet said in Onyx Storm. The Krovlan uprising was ended in a single night by “Poromiel”, I was wondering if “Poromiel” was being lead by venin at that point and the cause of the Uprising? It’s been a while since I read onyx storm the whole way through so I could be kind of off with this whole thing but I think dragons returning to Poromiel is a thing that Tecarus and possibly Fen wanted? They wouldn’t have known that Xaden would eventually bond a blue dragon when they were discussing the alliance, but he did, and Tecarus maybe saw it as an opportunity to bring dragons back to Krovla. the different breeds are likelier to hatch in their native hatching grounds, aren’t they? that is why rare black dragons starting popping up again when a Riot arrived in Aretia. Maybe Tecarus was hoping for an eventual riot of blue dragons idk
I have a rant, sorry. Trager and Cat could have been cute, it was cute conceptually. But our first glances of it, Trager is saying “HE DOESN’T WANT YOU BUT I DO. YOU SHOULDN’T LOVE HIM. ARE YOU EVER GOING TO GET OVER HIM” and it’s obviously Rebecca talking to Cat through Trager. Their relationship could’ve developed without stupid condescending dialogue, I’m sorry. Cat having feelings for an untitled soldier from her country could have been adorable. I wouldn’t have blinked if she was making out with Trager in the infirmary on page 2 of onyx storm. I wouldn’t have been like “wait a damn minute! Someone needs to tell Cat that she’s stupid for wanting Xaden first! How will she know how stupid she is if a man doesn’t tell her!”
I don’t think Cat needed to be talked down to about feeling some way about Xaden for a few hundred pages before getting into a relationship with Trager. I found it so unnecessary and unromantic and silly and I wasn’t moved by his loss because he was just kind of a ridiculous character to me at some point and he didn’t seem to represent love, he seemed to represent something stupid. The Trager/Cat thing didn’t seem to be some sweet feminist story about a woman putting her own feelings first, about Cat escaping Talia’s fate, it seemed more like a wishlist item for Violet to cross off. “My boyfriend’s ex gets told that my man doesn’t want her but somebody else does so she can stop looking at my man.” Check 😍✅✅✅** **
Now I don’t want Cat to have a romance in this series unless it’s Maren. The vibes are just tainted and rancid now
I have a theory that Xaden is a bald and soulless venin now because he incurred the wrath of Zihnal when he disrespected Zihnal’s noble beast
I was thinking about how ASS the alliance between fliers and riders is because none of them are really shown to be friends and fliers are mostly just accessories for drama like Cat standing around on Unnbriel just to get told that her presence means that Violet’s quest squad is accepting or Cat standing before the point of Aura’s sword to show that Violet is comparably more accepting of fliers. I wish the fliers had something to do besides stand there and react to their friends and family being threatened or killed and wait to get rescued by some tolerable riders. The Syrena and Mira understanding that we got glimpses of was kind of cute and for once a flier and a rider seemed like equals and like they could be genuine friends. The whole Mira and Drake dynamic is just not enjoyable by comparison. Mira is being a snob about being a rider and kicking Drake in the balls for taking weapons for his country to survive the attacks and it’s just kind of gross and dumb imo and I was sick of it pretty fast.
The fliers are not a believable threat which makes the hostility toward them seem so ridiculous. Even the marked ones don’t seem to get on with them. Xaden calls Poromiel “enemy territory” and says he doesn’t trust Syrena. Imogen here for example has inexplicable beef with fliers. Does anyone feel like this “alliance” just kind of sucks and needs to be developed more or something
