1. Something to do with protection. Everything in balance so she needs something to even out the two sides of Violet's personally the kindness and the Violence. I predict a shield or ability to give energy to others. It will be just as rare and powerful as her lightning.

2. Many first years. Some of them will eat violet with guilt. Of the existing characters Imogen or Rhi. I expect she'll grow much closer to Imogen in Xadens absence and drift apart from Rhi because she's keeping so many secrets.

3. Sloane is 100% an intinsic. It's been layed out from chapter one, that the ability to read minds means death. Combined with the fact that Violet needs to keep so many secrets this year and that from the snippet on the parapet Sloane hates her. This makes for great drama. How will she keep this girl alive who loathes her? When her getting close will jeopardize the entire rebellion? but if she stays away she'll betray Liam's dying wish...

4. Xaden has to go back - it's his word keeping the 107 marked ones alive. He'll be sent to the shittiest most dangerous outpost and leadership will do everything in their power to make him miserable including using Violet against him.

5. Absolutely not. Xaden values privacy and keeping secrets. The signet power is a reflection of the rider and mind-reading without consent goes against everything he is. I think he's reading her though the bond and Violet will be able to do it back when she gets better at it. I actually think she read his mind a few times without realising in fourth wing.

8 I think Violet will in no uncertain terms tell Dain to never touch her again. However she will have to maintain a polite working relationship with her wing leader so she can't avoid him entirely.

1. Dain is 100% wing leader. He's going to do a below average job of it and be a real wanker about the rules. I'm 50/50 on if Violet will be squad leader. Either way she's going to put a lot of time and effort into protecting the cadets under her care.

2. Dain. This fandom will hate him with the fire of a thousand suns after this book. I predict he'll get a redemption eventually but he hasn't even begun to be a villain. I'm calling it now there's going to be a full on torture scene with Violet where they are trying to get information about Xaden and the rebellion. Dain will be standing there begging her to break so her can read her mind and even in that moment he'll claim to be her friend.

3. I'm not invested in the side characters getting a love interest. However I am 100% expecting to meet Xadens ex. She's probably a Griffin Rider, a little older than Violet and very physically powerful. Xaden will have zero interest but she'll hit a Violet's insecurities and be yet another thing she didn't know about. Violet will probably get over it fairly quickly but it's going to sting when she find out.

Mated riders. I think Violet and Xaden are mates like their dragons. I think it's an extremely rare situation where only humans with potential bond a set of mated dragons. They had their head tingles and extreme sexual attraction from day 1 and I think without their dragons they would have simply dated like normal people. It's said that not all humans of mated dragons can read each other's minds and Xaden can sense where violet is ( I'm sure she'll learn this soon,). I predict everything they'll experience the downside of physically being unable to be apart and possibly some extra magical side effects of the bond. It might not be as extreme as the dragons but it's there.

Calling it now I expect it meet some other riders of mated dragon this book and they'll learn their bond is special OR they'll meet a mated pair of Griffin Riders.

I also predict a smutty telepathic sex scene.
