The thing about murder is that it isn't always calculated. Violet could have had a moment of insanity and in her rage lashed out before she could stop herself. The person is usually not in the right frame of mind to reflect on their actions, it was a crime of passion. It's terrible that the mc ever got to that point where she felt like it was the only way. The homicide was Violet's fault, but the wear and tear of her mental state is her father and that insidious wife's fault. But that's just how I saw it, you are free to disagree. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
And I mean really think about it, the protagonist/'heroine' is always portrayed as a almost mary-sue like klutz who wins everyone's hearts or is just too pure-hearted. It always irked me because it felt like this person is a paragon and anyone who went against them was cast as evil. The story writers try to make all the villains 'just evil' when it's so complicated. It's why I don't read conventional stories. The west, US especially, has a problem with this plot in YA novels.

I do not condone the abuse of children, even when the father slapped Eugene I was ready to throw hands. Now this incorrigible cow is verbally, emotionally, and physically abusing a child!!! I am not just about to throw hands, but I'm gonna throw her ass over a cliff into the sulfuric embrace of hell!!(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I have read the novel, but I came here to suffer through the anxiety of weekly to biweekly updates just for Asher's face.(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
His eyes are like tanzanites in the sun. It might have something to do with seeing the destruction of the nobles in beautiful drawn panels as well.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I get wanting to care and support a child, but when the parent tells you something is off about their child?!
You should believe, people don't say things like that for no reason. This looks like a lifetime movie where the son becomes so obsessed with his step-mother that he'll destroy anyone who crosses her. Ain is becoming the ultimate mommas boy, we should all be weary.
