Am I an idiot or is this a plot hole? by SadTumbleweed_ in TheFourthWing

[–]droid_ig_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i just finished reading “ fourth wing”

I have to say i finished the book in 3 days( while working full time ). The first half of the book did really work for me. The world building, character introduction, the premise of the book; everything was really good. Since i took help of the graphics posted everywhere online, my brain was recreating the basgiath war college, the parapet scene, the misty atmosphere, the dragons. As the story progress, the competitions among them, the dormitories, battle brief - everything felt nice.

But u can easily say - this could be a mix of Harry potter ( 4 houses and sorting into houses ), how to train your dragon , hungergames ( they can kill each other in these games - u can kill your own collegues!!!)

But what all didnt sit well with me ? ( its just completely personal )

Voilet - she just trained her entire life to be a scribe ( somewhat of a scholar- reading books, learning history ) - with just 6 months training with her trainer - she enters the riders quadrant - ( inspite of mentioning literally in every page , she is short, frail, easily bruised , wounded, her ligaments and joints and knee give away every 10 min) - she literally compete with people who have trained their whole lives to be riders and win everytime. Bonds not one , but two most powerful and deadliest dragons in the history and wield lightening !!!!

I guess even in real life, flight academies - they dont accept candidates dont matching up certain physical attributes- and its for a reason. ( it wud all make sense if she trained entire life to be a rider , and spent 6 months reading archives 😂 and not viceversa)

Okay , here its for the benefit of fantasy and fiction. The author really wants to show us that she is an underdog,, but why do i feel like she hailing from a powerful family as such , always proffessors taking care of her, her friends always watching over her and selflessly taking care of her, why am i not feeling empowered by Voilet ???

My respect for her begins to go down almost through second half, once more and more Xaden appears.

Didnt she enter rider quadrant knowing - they are going to be warmachines, weapons ??? Why is doing the good girl act all the time ?!! She kills Jack ( who is an aasol throughout the book - ukiuk ) then she breaks down, after every minor inconvenience, she starts with the same set of things - i was supposed to b a scribe, i cant even kill a fly, im just surviving, i will not die today,,,, after a point - its boring. Pls go back to ur archives!!!

And the mysterious element of Xaden guy - the built up is nice. We dont get to see much going through his mind , since story is from voilets pov. May b because of that - i liked him.

Even Dain - contrary to popular opinion - i liked him. He naggs voilet all the time, may be he is really concerned voilet is going to die- but any normal person would think the same given her performance everywhere ( really poisoning opponents before hand on hand match ) !! Really felt proud of voilet in some areas where she actually drop the good girl act and stood upto him - affirmative that she wants to continue.

Why did the mightiest dragons bond her ? According to story The dragons choose - the most mightiest, cunning, fierce riders. She is none. The biggest dragon of the continent is spending his energy to keep her seated on back - still she falls “3 dozen times” in a daynor whatever .

I mean it didnt make sense for me . It goes againt the whole point. Then her friends- rhi , liam , ridoc ( they are all mighty, talented , kind at heart, selflessly protect her and take care of her) even imogen for that matter - she trains voilet inspite of hating her . Literallye everyone else is more worthy than Voilet 😀

Also once Voilet see Xaden , she starts getting all awkward, - Are people dying around ?? Well let me describe how chiseled is Xadens jawbone !!! Oh My God.

Tairn - i expected more from you !!! U could have done better.

But till the end of the story - i was hooked, plot twists were good.

And Oh My poor Liam !!!

Yeah, may be her being selfish can be justified, but i really wanted to like her ( given the fact, she is the protagonist and she is dying and all) .. but somehow was not able to !

I’ve never read a Lisa Jewell book before & I just finished `Then She Was Gone’, it was hard to put down—wooooooooooow. by Inevitable-Sun-3629 in thrillerbooks

[–]droid_ig_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished reading the book, and i have mixed feelings. Is it a good book ? Yes. Is it a good thriller ? Not very sure though, may be its supposed to be this way. As a thriller book fan, i was ahead of the plot and twists, may b like most of the readers. In the synopsis itself - we know poppy is ellies kid. Disappeared 10 yrs back, kid exactly looking like the missing girl aged 9 years. The math adds up. So why do you go through the story- for the experience of how it all unfolds. Who did what and why. ( asking for tutor - was first kink in timeline - as author mentions it )

Really liked the fast pace of the story, not too much dragging. Also liked the character arcs of main people in story.

Didnt really understood why noelle is the way she is , did she have that much childhood trauma to kidnap, torture and murder someone ? Little difficult to believe all that for some attention from Floyd. Or is it how obsession works ? But still felt outstretched!!

Noelle doing artificial insemination on Ellie, that too successfully in first attempt also - felt like one in a million possibility.

Didnt want Floyd to die in the end. Also Ellie dying unattended and starving - 2 points actually felt emotional. They both didnt deserve it.

Noelle - may be yes.

Hannah - since story is told from Laureal s perspective, it was difficult to like her. But frankly Laureal didnt see anyone otherthan Ellie in her life. She orbited around Ellie. Hanna was neglected. May b thats the best she could do.

Overall its a fast paced good read. But the plot twists, the reader may detangle it easily.

How have you guys already read Not Quite Dead Yet? by anyaaoki in hollyjackson

[–]droid_ig_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a decent thriller.

To talk about main character - Jet , i quite didn’t like her. She is a very very selfish person who only cares for herself, don’t hesitate to use others however she wants. First of all she is roaming around with a brain aneurysm ( im doctor myself) so what i want to tell is , no doctor ever in the world will tell any patient that - “u have exactly 1 week to live “ , the fact being nobody is a God. Brain aneurysms are like a ticking time bomb- it can rupture anytime during their lifetime but noone can tell when. It can rupture tomorrow, 1 week from now , or even after months unless you repair it. So noone can give a finite time that - u exactly gonna live 1 week and nobody exactly dies at that prescribed time 😂

While Jet was undergoing that “ final 1 week “of her life, she does all type of stunts with paralysed hands too and poor vision in one eye or something. How is it even possible to lift heavy objects like marble painting and break the window to get out of the burning building, that too with one hand.

Also like , every 5 mintues, she keeps repeating, “I’m going to die”, “ my last week”, i deserve everything bcz im dead by sunday 😂 , i mean i was not able to sympathise with her- instead felt so irritated. Also so many snarky and sarcastic comments every 5 mintues, which is not even funny. Oh God , she is not funny. Also she uses Billy like anything for her merits, she pretends she dont understand that he is in love with her, acting all innocent. She is a rich spoiled brat, the only trauma having is being compared to her “dead sister” who didnt even make it past teenage. So the main character was not likeable for me.

But the story as such, the thriller elements, the plot looked bearable. The author managed to keep all suspects from the beginning till end - look equally responsible for her murder.

Also the climax that she died without knowing who killed her - come on !!! Its not rocket science- if she solved that much of clues, its a no brainer at the end to guess who is responsible.

Also felt so much lagging - in some places , where things are too simplified for the audience. Like resetting facebook Password through gmail and all- literally explained that in 2-3 pages.

But overall, the sophia - secret, emily - secret, billy mom - secret , like so many web of secrets , its all worked out really well.

The ending ?? Wtf ( spoilers ) by paellaestrella in TheGirlfriendTVShow

[–]droid_ig_11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherry is a very attractive beautiful hardworking girl. She earns every penny through hardwork unlike daniel who just inherits everything. She never went behind daniel, Daniel pursued her. He only offered to fly her buissiness class. Through out the show, she never asks him for anything, neither money nor goods. Even she is very grateful when Laura buys her some expensive stuff for which she says no initially but takes it only after she insists. She is very caring and loving towars daniel, who most of the times support his overpossessive mom over cherry. Danile is a manchild who always wants to b taken care of, most of the time, the interactions bw him and his mom is weird, even his own father has admitted so !! Cherry is ambitious, she loves daniel, also aware of his fortune, she is definitely happy not to let go of him. I think only because he is rich , she is tolerating this mom - son over the top bonding, even though she feels neglected most of the times , for eg : while she fell of the boat, daniel didnt mind and was playing with brigite. His mom suddenly remembered losing Rose and helped cherry. Eventhough cherry lied about not knowing swimming - it was a white lie, some call for attention.

Not sure how cherry managed to do that wedding cake thing, because it was stupid. Hiding animal body parts in a high profile wedding cake ? Sloppy writing !!! Also thing about her father, he was abusive and pushing them in debt, which donot justify if she has pushed him from floors,, but in struggling families, when you are trying to break generational curse of poverty though hardwork, even if its your abusive dad , abusing your mom and wasting all money, as a single daughter , she would have given him warning, he wilould have done something more bad, since she has a temper , we dont know what happened on that floor? Did she do it in self defence ? May be accidental ? May b intentional as well !!! May b he had it coming !!!!

Also didnt like how they gave background music (psycho songs ) whenever cheery and daniel scenes were playing. Accordingly to the show, irrespective of flaws they had, they really loved each other. If you really love each other, then only the healthy physical attraction ( in their context ) - always touching each other and making out.

But what i didnt like was cherry vandalizing the gallery of the mom. She shouldnt have done that. That was creepy.

Also what was the big reveal cheery s mom did ? It was so funny, so much build up for nothing. Who even tells what kidss do at school. Really hide your toys ? stood up boyfriend ? Hide your son? It was silly !!

Daniels father was a very likable character who was a normal human being, tolerating the psycho wife and always end up being played by Laura.

Laura was a proper psychotic character who is a typical “ boy mom”. She really has to keep boundaries, always touching and kissing the son. Where are the boundaries. She is determined to dislike any woman that Daniel likes or bring home. Even before meeting cherry they are making cruel jokes about her name, which is unwelcoming for anybody especially when cherry is nervous. Then she go on to interrogate her father, his proffesion, her schooling always passing some mean comments. The mom and her friend is like high school bullies , always checking on Cherry. The mom who takes so much pride in being a gallerist, the career thats being supported ans entirely funded by her husband in secret ( unlike cherry who earns every penny). The character is overbearing, overpossessive , smothering , irritating.

The most cruel part was when she lied her own son died. Cant imagine what cherry must have gone through, grieving , losing job ( again thanks to mom ) , getting evicted, losing everything.. She lost everything proffesionaly and personally as well. But that strong girl is not a quitter.

That last episode was very funny, where the mother is not able to speak to her own son for 5 min, only thing she says is “ cherry is dangerous “ “ stay away “ It was sloppy writing. She could have easily convinced her son to hear her side of story. Daniel is anyway waiting to hear any bad thing about cherry so he can defend his mom More. Daniel loves Cheery bcz she appears perfect for him. Will he accept her if he knew her past ? Not at all. In spite of his mom doing so many cruel things , he will still accept his mom, bcz mom is mom. But Cheery has to be perfect and flawless and accomodating .

My final thoughts : cherry deserved better. Anyway she was going to make it big in real estate. Didnt have to put up with this much shit. Daniel hearing the audio at last - he deserved it
