Here’s the protection trope, yet again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of the book, but tbh, I’d like Riftan more if they showed a bit more of the book from his perspective. The book drags on because they don’t have the “climax” discussion. You can still have a plot while letting your main protagonists resolve their issues.
I’m so not on board with his behavior. Ignoring her is like deliberately hurting her. And I dislike that it is being done to “protect her” . It just a bunch of bs. She needs to teach him a lesson and a good one at that. I mean a good scare would be great. I don’t know… maybe leave and don’t tell him or learn to teleport LOL! I need him to suffer. This guy is on my bad side right now and so are the knights. Betcha it’s about Breaton and the duel. Perhaps is coming to war terms between nations and his afraid she might wanna enlist for that too! LOL! Still he hasn ’t learn and I need her to be amazing without anyone holding her back.
Wow these comments are something. 😂 Everyone is reaching their breaking point it seems… That’s what in my book constitutes as a good story. When you drive your readers to madness. 😉 It won’t be too long now before it will all be worth the wait. And for those that are very angry with Riftan, don’t forget the man behind the first book and that extra POV of his. He has his own reasons. Wether right or wrong on some points. But this man unconditionally and irrevocably loves Maxi. This is a story about 2 people who’s love remains constant and unchanged through all the hardships. Hold on to that.
the comments are on point! webnovel is not the best format for this book. the chapters cutting off as they do make Riftan look so negative. at this point it is abusive, i dont know if that is how i view it as an american but to me i wouldnt have been able to keep going with being ignored,lied to and belittled for my choices. that isnt love, she layed it all out and he chose to ignore her smh. He Knows how she was treated prior to marriage and would chose to keep her locked away.
Maxi’s current song for Riftan: You’ losing me by Taylor Swift. 💔 I’m currently so tired of him like seriously thats your wife. You always have to choose her, be with her, and be honest with her no matter how painful and dangerous it is. I’m sick and tired of him always wanting to “protect” Maxi. Guess what buddy? No matter how hard you try to protect her, you always end up hurting her. 🙄
You’re losing me - Taylor Swift You say, "I don't understand, " and I say, "I know you don't" We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? I'm getting tired even for a phoenix Always risin' from the ashes Mendin' all her gashes You might just have dealt the final blow Stop, you're losin' me Stop, you're losin' me Stop, you're losin' me I can't find a pulse My heart won't start anymore For you 'Cause you're losin' me Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'? I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick And the air is thick with loss and indecision I know my pain is such an imposition Now, you're runnin' down the hallway And you know what they all say You don't know what you got until it's gone Stop, you're losin' me Stop, you're losin' me Stop, you're losin' me I can't find a pulse My heart won't start anymore For you 'Cause you're losin' me 'Cause you're losin' me Stop (stop) 'cause you're losin' me My heart won't start anymore ('cause you're losin' me) My heart won't start anymore ('cause you're losin' me) How long could we be a sad song 'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life? I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier Fighting in only your army Frontlines, don't you ignore me I'm the best thing at this party (You're losin' me) And I wouldn't marry me either A pathological people pleaser Who only wanted you to see her And I'm fadin', thinkin' "Do something, babe, say something" (say something) "Lose something, babe, risk something" (you're losin' me) "Choose something, babe, I got nothing (got nothing) To believe Unless you're choosin' me" You're losin' me Stop (stop, stop), you're losin' me Stop (stop, stop), you're losin' me I can't find a pulse My heart won't start anymore
