Nah cause if I was Puddleshine I would've thrown the biggest fit ever about Mothwing strolling into ShadowClan and getting Shadowsight demoted. Keeping peace with RiverClan be damned, saying my apprentice doesn't know what he's doing and can't do anything right is implying that I taught him wrong and I am not standing for that bullshit. You're demoting my apprentice over my dead body

Simon and Betty from AT but instead it's Marcus and Maiven from the Unwanteds 🫶

Dragon Fury Review (Spoilers, obviously)

What I Liked:

- “THIS IS FOR THE ALEX.” Everything about this was just amazing. Going into the book I had been hoping one of the Stowes would kill the Revinir, but honestly, this was better. Spike is amazing, and I think it’s really fitting that Alex’s creation is the one who killed the Revinir.

- That moment between Aaron and Samheed was great. They very clearly don’t like each other, but I’m glad they were able to get over their differences.

- Drock becoming the Dragon Ruler! He’s clearly earned it, and I’m happy something finally went right for him.

- Dev and Asha being siblings and descended from Ashguard. I definitely saw it coming, but I still liked that Dev has family.

- Maiven Taveer being a badass queen while also being an old lady. Everything about her is awesome.

- Simber. Just being Simber. 

- The afterlife. Especially the Alex and Aaron moments. They have one of the most complicated relationships in the books, and I’m so happy about what it came to. I’m also glad it ended with Alex and Aaron vs Fifer and Thisbe. Seeing the dead characters was great (Meghan!!!!), and Aaron’s being forgiven by Eva and Marcus was beautifully written.

What I Didn’t Like:

- Fifer x Dev. Why, why, why. Fifer was very clearly touch repulsed and aroace-coded, and then all of a sudden she just… kisses Dev. Dev x Seth would have made way more sense.

- Rohbe. Maiven, who is Thisbe’s biological grandmother, adopted Rohan, so… incest. They’re also just… ugh. Rohan has no personality besides loving Thisbe, so while she is a great character, he’s pretty one-dimensional.

- The treatment of gay characters. There are two gay couples in the series: Henry x Thatcher and Clementi x Asha (both of which I absolutely love). Only Henry gets a POV that is ridiculously short, especially since he was a main character in the original series. Neither couple gets any moments together, and Clementi and Thatcher each have like two lines of dialogue. They were completely sidelines, and Lisa clearly only included them so she could say that she has LGBT+ representation.

- Seth x Prindi? WHY? There was no point to this unnecessary het couple. Prindi barely has a role in the story, and we haven’t seen her and Seth interact once. Like I said in my point about Fifer and Dev, Seth and Dev would have made way more sense as a couple than either of these.

- Why does everyone need a love interest? In both The Unwanteds and The Unwanteds Quests, every major character gets a love interest, who is usually someone of the opposite gender. In the original series, we had Skylex, Lanheed, Aaron x Kaylee, Sean x Carina, Crow x Scarlet, etc. Even Florence had a male love interest, which is ridiculous. Then in Quests, we got Fifer x Dev, Thisbe x Rohan, Seth x Prindi, plus all of the couples I mentioned above. 

So, looking back on everything I said: I liked the plot a lot, but I don’t like the way some of the characters and romances were handled. I also think a huge problem is that Lisa just had too many characters. Fifer, Thisbe, Aaron, Dev, Rohan, and Seth were all in the center of focus, but there were awesome characters from the original series like Lani, Samheed, Carina, Sean, Kaylee, Sky, Crow, Claire, Henry, and Thatcher that were all sidelined, as well as new characters like Clementi, Asha, and Ibrahim that were sidelined as well. I enjoyed reading it, but there was a lot that could have been improved.

Clementi and Asha: *have like three scenes*

Me: So, um, I would die for them

[wrenviel]

unwanteds brainrot levels CATASTROPHIC

[wrenviel]

thinking about the fact that the unwanteds used to be my favourite series and lisa mccman my favourite author because it made me feel so scene and i immediately went to the store and bought the first unwanteds quest book when it came out because i was so excited for more content of my favourite book series and then it was so horrible that even me at the age i was could tell it was shit and it ruined my mood for the rest of the day. the first book ALONE made lisa mccman one of my least favourite people on earth and when it ended on a cliffhanger the only thought i had was “finally it’s over!” so looking in the unwanteds quests tag i am both pleased and disappointed to see that she has in fact gotten worse.

[wrenviel]

masquerade looks from the unwanteds: island of fire! alex and sky's looks are based on their canon outfits; the other three are all from my imagination!

happy purge week!!! :)
