    The white in Violet's hair

    Is it ever explained why violet has a white streak in her hair? It even says that she tried to cut it but it just moved further up her hair. So what does this mean? Did I miss something?

    Thoughts from 3% (page 24)

    Chapters 1 and 2

    This is my second attempt at this series (I've read the rest of the maasverse multiple times) and I just am really struggling with the urban-fantasy. I've started mentally comparing it to the Mortal Instruments series to convince myself I will like it since I remember really enjoying those??

    It's been a huge info dump with no context to really attach anything to so I'm hoping once things pick up a bit I will be able to recall pertinent details.

    Anyway, some thoughts, reactions, and I guess predictions? (Taking notes as I read so generally just cherry picking from those)

    Phillip Briggs - I know they're saying he's the worst (giving Charlie Manson sets off a car bomb and all) but also why is no one like 'idk maybe humans SHOULD have a seat at the table too??'

    Danika being able to talk in wolf form is sending me, I keep trying to imagine what that looks like.

    WHAT DO YOU MEAN PUBLIC CRUCIFIXION!!!

    Guns and cell phones, dawg idk.

    These gates seem verrry important.

    Alot of curiosity about the drop. I am currently predicting that Bryce is actually going to also conveniently have an insane amount of power.

    Danika's mom sounds like the worst and I would not be surprised if she became a primary big bad.

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    It felt like a lot of filler while a lot of the challenges were either skipped over or only very briefly mentioned. Characters made dumb choices that didnt make sense sometimes. They main girl just had plot armor and don't think it made sense for her to survive so long.

    The concept was good though just executed poorly but the ending was pretty good.
