The OFFICIAL...no I'm just kidding lmao. My chapter twenty-seven (Xaden's POV) community discussion post. Spoilers below the cut ✨

🌟 Ok let's start with the biggest glaring inconsistency—Xaden implying that he and Liam were taken in and trained by Lewellen.

EXCUSE ME? Rebecca????? You said they were taken in by Duke Lindell, that's what you told me! You mean I slaved away over a map creating a whole backstory and character for this fucking guy and now he doesn't even exist?? I'm????

This changes the whole game as far as I'm concerned, like there's a big difference between them being raised by some random loyalist we've never heard of and the guy who took their duchy or whatever and is now in charge of the whole kingdom? I don't know how to take this seriously either because like...that's very much not away from prying eyes, how is this guy, who's a political figure training them while also maintaining his supposed loyal status to the kingdom?

ALSO, I have a damn map, Lewellen is WAY far from Aretia, so how on earth were they going there? I'd assumed maybe Lindell was living somewhere closer, but if we're saying it's Lewellen now...what the fuck, Rebecca?

🌟 Ok. Next topic. LIAM 😭😭😭 I can't, I can't handle the pair of them on a page together. He's exactly how we fanon'd him in Xaden's presence alone an I need a moment. "Was it us?!" I'm ???? I cry. 😭 I might actually write some angsty Violiaden after that.

🌟 Next order of business. HE LOVES HER. Why is he saying he loves her so many times? I love simp Xaden, but he's so sure of himself, but he refuses to fucking tell her for another year? What the FUCK Xaden???? 🤯😭 I do not like this for him. For her. For me. Nope. Love him though, truly, fr.

🌟 The Imogen dagger delivery is exactly what we all hypothesised but in this instance it does feel very retconned. Like I'm fine with it but also an 'Imogen's unwell' line in the original novel wouldn't have gone astray, so personally I'm not sold this was planned all along but I'll roll with it. I feel like the info about how the wards work and how someone had to have taken them down from within the keep also supports this being a retcon/something forgotten about or not fleshed out yet from the original book. Again though, it's fine.

🌟 Let's talk about DAIN. Why are we saying someone helped the fliers from the inside and took down the wards and then saying Dain is suspiciously out of breath and slower than normal? Why are we doing that? Rebecca???? 👁👄👁

🌟 Xaden: Violet's going to bolt, I don't know how I'll ever stop her even though I'm 6ft tall and I picked her up and carried her five seconds ago. Oh, I know! I'll kiss her!

🌟 Sgaeyl!!!! I love her so much my sassy queen! And did she basically say she loves Tairn? Yes, she did 😭 They're the best, your honour!

Hi, my friends.

Capitalism works hard but the fangirls work harder. You can find chapter 27 Xaden pov here.

It's on Tik Tok, so you'll have to stop the video to read the pages but it's as good as it gets in the meantime. 😊

If this extra chapter didn’t just confirm that Xaden is going to kill Mira .. idk what will

SPOILERS BELOW FOR THE NEW CHAPTER

The amount of times Xaden mentioned killing Mira is actually crazy ….

Like I understand him being protective over Violet and stuff .. but actually thinking about killing her sibling is crazy. And even he says in Iron Flame “I would never want someone you love dead”

Like what happened to that ..???

And now that he’s Venin, we have no idea if he’ll be able to control his new powers, and if he will remain somewhat good. I think this really solidifies my theory of him dying soon … maybe even in Onyx Storm … cause Violet would never forgive him for that

And

WHEN WILL WE GET IMOGEN AND GARRICK'S LOVE STORY

Reading Chapter 27 POV has confirmed that, in an alternate universe When Dain kissed Violet, Xaden left the flight field, drew the blinds closed, sat in his room and listened to “Good Luck, Babe” by Chappell Roan for two days until Garrick dragged him out into the sunlight to prove that Violet really wasn’t that into Dain.

Yes, the song isn’t about their hetero relationship but I feel it in my bones this emotional monster of a man would be screaming “I told you so” under his blankets between tears that the rest of the dorms thinks it’s the ghosts of the former parapet cadets lolol

OH MY GOD YES !!! PERFECT !!!

I canceled my preorder cause there was just …. No point ….

INTERNATIONAL GIRLIES (AND GUYS) REJOICE!

You too can now share in the fun and read the mind-bending, action-packed, elusive chapter twenty-seven from Xaden's POV! Screenshots below the cut. Thanks to @chocogigi for sharing and the TT user who originally posted a video. My thoughts to follow 😌
