"Neither of you is to blame for what happened," Nesta whispered. "Neither of you failed anyone."
"Neither did you," Emerie said softly.
Yes, thank you, Emerie for saying to Nesta what should have been said to her all book long. Nesta didn't fail anyone. Her book should have spent time focusing on the people who have failed her.
I 100% agree with this !!! It would be cool if she was a truth-teller … but there’s so many other cooler signets she could have !
SPOILERS FOR FOURTH WING AND IRON FLAME
One of the most (if not the most) popular theories about Violet’s second signet is that she is a truth-sayer. I see this everywhere, and so many people are convinced it’s correct.
Although I can absolutely see why people think this—there is so much evidence—I just don’t like the idea of Violet being a truth-sayer for a couple of reasons.
The main reason a lot of people believe in this theory is that Xaden repeatedly says stuff like “I can’t lie to you” to Violet in the books. First of all, he does this at least twice in Fourth Wing, when Violet’s second signet has not yet manifested, which makes this either crap foreshadowing or irrelevant to the second signet.
Related to the whole “I can’t like to you” thing, I really hate the idea that the only reason for this is because Xaden physically can’t lie to her, rather than because he’s in love with her and in a relationship with her and so shouldn’t lie to her in the first place. Personally, I would much rather interpret this as “I am ridiculously in love with you and the idea of deceiving you is so abhorrent I’m incapable of doing it”.
This is my biggest counter argument to this point so if you don’t read the rest of the post, please read this: Xaden being incapable of lying to Violet is just not how the truth-sayer signet works. We have already seen an example of one truth-sayer in the books: Nora, Varrish’s lackey. The way her signet works is that she can detect lies, not prevent them from being told, so Xaden being unable to lie to her is not a side effect of her signet.
This leads me neatly on to my next point: Nora helped Varrish do despicable things to Violet, helped torture information out of her and keep her prisoner under Basgiath. I just detest the idea that Violet would have the same signet as her, and I’m pretty sure Violet would too.
Overall, I don’t like this theory for so many reasons, more than that I just don’t believe in it. Personally, I think there are so many other more convincing theories out there for different second signets.
“Where's Violet now? What is she doing? Is she thinking of me? Is she missing me? Is she getting closer to Aetos? Does she dream about that kiss? How many days until Violet’s—”
