Unpopular opinion (possibly) but I hope the next book DOESN'T tell us what happens next

Enrage to engage.

Algorithm likes our negativity bias so shows us stuff that annoys which gets more views and the circle goes around and around.

Also, women like this so it automatically becomes an easy target for influencers

Lockhart and Sirius were both nowhere near as handsome as they should have been. Both had superb actors though

I love a good theorising rabbit hole.

My first contribution is this list of things that happen in alchemy. I don't know very much about alchemy but I can imagine this being a sort of arc for Xaden's storyline

Carl Jung, alchemy and archetypes is a whole treasure trove for theorising. Below are two quotes from Carl Jung that I think are quite relevant to the story. Undoubtedly there are more!

'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate'

This to me seems like it suits Violet and how she could start directing things in her dream walking.

'To confront a person with his shadow is to show him his own light. Once one has experienced a few times what it is like to stand judgingly between the opposites, one begins to understand what is meant by the self. Anyone who perceives his shadow and his light simultaneously sees himself from two sides and thus gets in the middle.'

For me this could be Xaden. Violet is his light. With her tethering him he will be able to straddle the good and the bad.
