My friend, the psychology you wrote here is excellent! For instance, the rush Violet experiences can be compared with sadism. Someone with sadism gets a rush of dopamine and other pleasure neurotransmitters when they hurt someone, whether small pranks observed in everyday sadists or larger, more serious acts. Someone's moral guidelines also play a role. For example, malignant sadists wouldn't feel much reserve when torturing someone; they're only focused on gaining that rush. This raises questions on where Violet stands in this spectrum. The psychological manipulation by General Veers is fascinating as well, because it can be argued either way, good or bad. Violet's reactions showcase the conflicting thoughts within her, juxtaposing her pre-growth life's insecurities with the opportunities to assert herself in this new life as a size-shifter. In a world where the giantess can't be harmed by conventional responses (illustrated wonderfully by the detailed process in which the bomber crew dropped the thermonuclear bomb), the battle in the mind will be the deciding factor. I also like the quotes at the beginning of each chapter foreshadowing what is the come as well as the complimentary illustrations to the text.
