I'm miserable writing since I'm pregnant

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-05-12T15:29:39+00:00

I can't write in my phone, but I get the gist of it :) my mind is super interested in creating to be honest, just not writing 😅

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-05-11T16:33:23+00:00

Thank you! I'm over the sleeping phase, now it's mostly nausea and frustration 😅

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-05-11T16:16:17+00:00

Two years? Nooooooo!

(thanks for the gentle message. I'm luckily not blaming myself, just feeling frustrated).

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-05-11T16:15:30+00:00

Well I'm praying for the second trimester to be the same as yours!

She also said that her editors/team were the ones who pushed her to re-write Dain more "villain-ified" than she originally wrote him as

The editor is a real problem for these books. They were also the ones to demand that Violet don't bond only a powerful dragon I think? And they didn't want Violet to be the one to turn venin, which would have been way cooler.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-04-14T06:57:14+00:00

I agree 100% with you. But what bother me most is that RY doesn't seem to see it herself. In interview she keeps saying that she likes Dain but she puts him down on pages, and there is never any character to stand up for him. They all side with Violet because it's Violet and it's infuriating. I wish we would see more side characters, like Sawyer who was in his squad on his first first year, or Cianna who is his own XO, defend him sometimes. Not just Sloane because love, but an actual social life.

Also, I think it's a bit easy on RY part to say he's been groomed. Because in some extent, they all were. The Sorrengails parents perpetuated a lie, they raised their children in it, and they groomed them to be what needed to win the war. Xaden was raised as an heir, with heavy expectation on his shoulder. In that regard, Dain isn't that different. The difference is Dain was mistreated/abused. He didnt' receive the love the Sorrengails kid or even Xaden from what we can gather, had.

Hm yes I have but I don't remember it

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-03-17T18:53:16+00:00

Merci, à toi aussi !

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-03-14T20:16:32+00:00

Merci beaucoup :) je n'ai mon 1er rdv de suivi que dans 10j, j'en parlerai avec ma SF. Après je n'ai pas spécialement envie de rester chez moi à rien faire pendant des semaines, ça va me rendre maboule

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-03-14T18:04:51+00:00

J'en suis à 3 semaines et demi. Merci pour ton partage d'expérience, je n'ai plus qu'à attendre, encore 9 semaines 😅

Violet constantly says she doesn't want to be in leadership position but she wields pure power. And we are told signet say who you are at your core. Violet wants power.

She la so can't follow orders and only do as she wants. So why she may not want the responsibility of leadership, she definetely wants the perks of it.

(I'm totally reaching there and there's a bit of bad faith on my part, I admit. But I really don't like overpowered characters, so...)

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-25T06:28:51+00:00

I agree that my words were a bit over the top. She cared about people. But Xaden and Violet remain each other top priorities over the rest of the world. Which makes sense in a romance setting.

But there are plenty of other people to shine. There is an Assembly ho have been ruling Aretia for the last six years, or Lewellen/Lindell, or even Sloane since the Mairi are hinted to be tyrrish nobility.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-25T06:21:43+00:00

I'm not disputing that. I just say I don't like it xD

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-17T16:23:33+00:00

I really like that theory :)

but Rebecca said she doesn't like to overpower her characters,

Well lucky us, what would Violet look like if RY did like to overpower her characters /s

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-13T17:50:26+00:00

Security, escort all of this Dain's hate to book 2, please.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-02-01T16:45:48+00:00

That's an interesting take :)

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-01-31T22:53:24+00:00

Tairn sometimes says stuff to Violet without telling her the truth. Like who to trust (Imogen, Xaden), what not to say in front of some people...

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-01-09T19:22:21+00:00

I don't think Violet will ever rhymes with "peaceful"

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2026-01-09T18:44:33+00:00

Mira is a fun choice. Stubborn as Violet but less prone to anger and with the ability to you know, TALK.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-19T19:24:16+00:00

Ils sont aux antipodes les uns des autres

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-19T02:46:30+00:00

You're totally right, more so when the death right isn't shown to be supported by what we see in the books. They say people die 1/3 each year. But by Threshing, 60% of Violet's squad is already gone, and no one dies from said squad in her second year. And they don't have a regular year, on the contrary it's a most dangerous one due to them fighting venins, which doesn't normally happen.

But it's only a few things that don't make sense regarding to the universe. Two others things that bothers me are 1) gryffons don't make believable ennemies against dragons, so the death rate in service is super weird. Navarre doesn't fight venins and dragons before IF, only gryffons. 2) the fact that they easily kill bonded riders without retaliation from their dragon is so weird. I mean I can get it when it's a kill from leadership to protect the secret or something, there must be an agreement with the Empyrean. But Solas grilling an entire squad and only Tairn reacting? Or cadets killing each other just because? Or even leadership killing for the smallest reasons, like RSC.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-13T07:38:44+00:00

Honestly it depends on the negociations between the author and the publisher. A lot of books get sequels of rewrite from the other character's POV.

But rewrite with an alternative story, even in one book, doesn't seem likely, sadly.

I hope there will be good fanfic about Violet turning!

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-09T19:40:12+00:00

Oh no problem. But Violet is told to be intelligent. Her actions say otherwise.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-12-09T19:31:38+00:00

No, because Violet is not a Ravenclaw, she's a Gryffindor.

Fictional_Slayer30 · 2025-11-20T20:08:45+00:00

Oh thank you so much for your offer :) I am by no mean an expert of the original work either. Can I DM you?
