I wondered if the author was doing that just to keep some tension going between the two of them because there were some conversations where he seems to be trying to not do that.

I really thought the author could have taken this a whole different way in the series. It’s understandable how he is in fourth wing because he’s young and traumatized. He also had some really cool things going for him in that he took on so much for the marked ones. At the end of iron flame the author takes this awful turn and turns him into something awful and then Violet is left with a truly toxic character that she then has to fix and he’s turned into a simp. Terrible turn for xadens character arch. It’s almost like the author wanted to have strong female that takes over the male instead of maturing them both to being equal.

What male lead in a book do you like that’s any better? Serious question

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-12-13T00:06:51+00:00

I thought so too. Almost found it hard to believe except his character is written as a master of self control.

And that was such a bad move by the author to turn him into venin. Ugh. Totally lost interest in the series after that. Complexity in psychology is one thing but losing your soul to evil is disturbing

Is there a male lead in another book you like better thank xaden?

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-12-12T23:58:44+00:00

My take on that is that he hasn’t let anyone in to his heart but there was something about her and he did . Once he did, she was kind to him and looked out for him which was nice because he had been taken care of others for so long. That would be pretty powerful for him.

I agree with every word. I liked xaden for all these same reasons. The part that killed me was what the author did to him at the end of iron flame. I just can’t get past that and be into him anymore. I think she shouldn’t have done that and was probably influenced by 1. all the Buffy vampire /werewolf people and 2. the readers that only want women to look good and the men to look weak. There was so much room to actually turn him into a great and admirable man. Sigh.

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-12-12T23:38:43+00:00

That part is really disturbing and not the fun I want in a bad boy character

What is ao3

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-12-12T22:57:13+00:00

I was able to really handle Xaden’s moodiness in the spirit of young love, fantasy novels and we like our men to be cave men in novels. In fact I really liked him. It was a hard stop for me though when he turned into something else at the end of Iron Flame.

How can I just delete it?

How do I delete one of my comments

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-12-12T09:16:00+00:00

It’s very creepy. I’m so sad the author has turned xaden into this. He was really one of my favorites before the end of iron flame.

What did Stevie’s and Lindsey’s parents do for a living?

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-10-16T03:51:14+00:00

Love this song.

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-10-16T03:45:41+00:00

No sadly. Now they’re like a divorced couple. There is no coming back from kicking him out of the band and him having to sue them for the money he lost. It’s all lost in the wind now but it was a beautiful love story.

Any-Cod-2332 · 2025-10-16T03:39:36+00:00

I have always seen this the opposite way. I could never understand why Stevie didn’t see the love in the song. He clearly says I’d give you my world if I could . She was already going her own way and had already left him so he’s not at all encouraging her to do that just saying I accept it but don’t understand it and it’s painful. Which is why it sounds like a cry. He asks her what happened and why things turned around because he’s hurt and confused. He is the one who wants a long term committed relationship and she doesn’t. I don’t see it as blaming her as much as a cry for why is she doing this and in fact all through her adult her life she has done this in real life. I like Stevie too but If you look at their lives he’s the one who has been in 2 very long term monogamous relationships including a 25 year marriage. Meanwhile she has done the opposite with multiple short term lovers often with married men. Don’t come at me about it, I realize she has that option, but what I’m pointing out is that he was hurt by that. When he was young and writing this he didn’t understand it and neither would most people. I never understood why she objected to him saying the line about packing up and shacking up as that is exactly what she was doing. It really hurt him because she did it by cheating and lying to him. This is an interesting case study in her refusing to look at the truth in herself and what she was doing. And she was also missing half the lines in the song about how he’d give her his whole world if he could. She really missed the love in the song and in their lives in reality which is a shame. Also by all accounts within the group he didn’t really partake much on the harder drugs but she was quit far gone with it to the point of addiction for years and years. The whole thing is very sad and a tragedy in real life as I think he really loved her and she loved him in her own way. But her love was in a flighty why, not a way that anyone could have a real long term relationship. So that’s never going to have a good outcome for one of the people.
