This might be the worst book I’ve ever read.

None of this makes sense. She breaks so easily. Suddenly she’s doing all this with this guy and she’s fine? No consistency in this book at all.

So she gets a super rare power that hasn’t been seen in a century (Mary Sue)? But then all she can do about it is COMPLAIN how her power makes her a weapon. As if she isn’t just absolutely giddy about it. I’m so sick of this pick me character.

“I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been”
Hahahahahahahahha

The writing seems to be getting progressively worse. Almost as if she’s rushing to finish the book and cram in a whole lot of meaningless action.

One moment she’s in an office, the next moment she’s in a meadow. PACING. Does this writer not know how to write?

In the middle of an intense conversation and suddenly all hell breaks loose. The safety inspector of Hogwarts would be far more shocked by what Basgiath considers a “field trip”.
Just the sudden shift to “get her out of here and attack is coming”. It felt so random. Terrible writing.

The pacing is so weird. It’s sometimes super quick in mere sentences and sometimes pages and pages are about one scene.
The chapter sectioning is so odd too. Sometimes one scene is cut in half and started on another chapter. Then a whole new scene starts in the middle of the chapter but with a drop cap.

What does she mean by piss-inducing? The sentence is “the piss-inducing parade of cadets before this year’s dragons waiting to bond”.
Does the parade of cadets make you want to pee? Or do the cadets want to pee because the dragons are scary? She’s really gone about it the wrong way.

Someone please clarify.

Girliepop is straight up poisoning people and cheating, right?
