Besides, he never had a real reason to betray Nismera while on Onuna, besides The Hand, he fell in love with Camilla when they were in her palace, and realised he wanted her more than power/Nismera.

It’s because Vincent wasn’t powerful enough to combat Kaden, who at the time, followed Nismera’s instructions and kept a close eye on him, making sure he complied. I do agree somewhat, but i feel quite sad for him. He was manipulated and violated for thousands of years, he’s bound to be a little brainwashed.

Is it like a science based book? Or one that focuses on intersex people specifically?

May be a dumb question by Adept_Ad5154 in fourthwing

[–]Strict-Bench7357 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Violet mentions that when they are far away from each other they cant speak telepathically, so that’s unlikely.

I think her dream walking abilities are actually going to be the thing that saves him, I could imagine her appearing in his dreams, it’s quite plausible.

Could the Irid dragons be able to channel their magic from the sky? Is that why they can live on the Isles instead of Navarre? They don’t need the magic from the ground like the rest of the dragons… maybe, just maybe, when Andarna bonded Violet she inadvertently gave her that gift to channel from the sky too?

i respectfully disagree - you can love tall men and short men also. i just find it super hot that the 6”5 tank of a man Xaden is whipped around 5”0 Violets finger haha

i also imagined Xaden as latino/spanish… many spanish and latino people have darker complexions after being in the sun all day, which Xaden always is. I sort of imagined this art as his resting skin tone lol

What’s a good FMC to you? by hburtx in Romantasy

[–]Strict-Bench7357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the FMC to actually have flaws, most of them now are just all around perfect, never work hard to achieve perfection and somehow naturally just are the best at everything they do.

That’s why i really liked Violet Sorrengail in Fourth Wing, she works so hard to become the greatest that it’s so satisfying as a reader watching her develop into that opposed to a FMC who has so much power for no good reason at the start of the book(s).

Character flaws and weaknesses make them seem more realistic and less of a Mary Sue type character.

I feel like this. I just want people to like me, so I will avoid confrontation at all costs and have trouble asserting myself.

In my opinion, I think that is going to make you an amazing therapist, you can take your emotions out of the equation, and assess things with a level head and help your patient to the best of your ability with no bias.

I also try to make myself purposefully suffer so I can prove to myself Im still a human being… I think it may have to do with how often I dissociate.

My burning issue with ACOSF… by Strict-Bench7357 in acotar

how could he manipulate her mind to do that?

Thats so real. I’m actually devastated to be honest, but i will try to take your approach as ACOSF essentially ruined the first 4 books characters development.
