The plot was interesting and went places I didn’t expect, so that’s good!
Some annoying parts:
- I think this book could be condensed if Violet’s internal monologue was reduced as well as some unnecessary events were taken out. As it was the book dragged a lot.
- Violet feels guilty for EVERYTHING all the time and always feels the need to protect everyone from everything even though she’s the weakest and doesn’t know how to aim her lightning
- Speaking of that, why can’t Violet figure out how to aim her lightning?? It’s taking FOREVER
- THE END?? Like WHAT THE HECK??  Not okay. It’s so not okay that I’m not sure if I want to read the third book. Like Xaden might as well be dead if you ask me, since apparently there’s no cure. So Rebecca? Make a cure. I don’t care what the rules are, there’s a cure now.
