A Little Look Back At The Fourth Wing Doulogy So Far

A Little Look Back At The Fourth Wing Doulogy So Far

A Little Look back at the Fourth Wing Doulogy so far

I still don’t hate the books just Violet and Xadens Romance annyoed me trough one and two. Also still don’t care about Xaden at all. My biggest issue with him is how he is written and designed, he feels more like marketing and a copy and paste of Rhysand but forgetting what makes Rhysand interesting and compelling. Also can someone tell me why they love each other, aside from having sex with each other? It just feels written without emotion and thought. They are some good Ideas but they are mostly in the background. I would’ve liked to see more bonding between Violet and her dragons, more of Vi and her friends and family, more of the political stuff. The Dragons are treaten like mindless creatures. Also why does no Dragon have a saddle? Would make things much easier. I also don’t understand the comparison to httyd anymore, Violet and Tairn are not even like Hiccup and Toothless at all, they also don’t give the vibes of this incredible friendship that Hiccup and Toothless share. Name me one bonding moment between them? Also the comparison between Violet and Hiccup just makes me angry now, because Hiccup is a million times better written and way more intelligent than Violet. Violet is very two dimensional and a Mary Sue. They both have disabilities: Hiccup with his leg and Violet with her ehlers-Danlos syndrome. In httyd Hiccups metal leg is a handicap for him but he doesn’t treat it like a handicap even though it baffles him sometimes, he improves it troughout the trilogy. In Violets case her Syndrome just disappears. She doesn’t find a way to Life with it easier, it is just never brought up again or treated as important as it should in a book with a person that has this kind of illness. The only thing Violet thinks about is fucking Xaden, her whole world centers around him, her Family feels less important. Everything feels less important. And now we are back to all the relationship drama with Violet and Xaden. In the second book their romance is just toxic, they remind me a lot of Tom and Jun from T9R, but both romances weren’t even good to begin with. But the whole book I was just: Break up or finally die Xaden. Hell I was rudding more for Dain and his Releationship to Violet as Friends in the second book. Please never compare Violet and Xaden to Hiccstrid, that would be disgrace to a very natural, very well developed and written couple. That is probably the best Couple in Cinema/Literature. Fourth Wing 1 and 2 are really overrated and it shouldn’t count in the section of Fantasy and Romantsy. Erotic Fantasy fits better. I just wished the romance wouldn’t be the focus of the Story, it could be so much more fantastic and unique if we haven’t Violet and Xaden want to fuck each other the whole time. The Story suffers under it. Rebecca Yarros has talent I could see that in more of the stuff that is going on the background. But if I were you, I would have given myself more time to practice and to figure and develop stuff and characters more. (Also mind of a scriber, heart of a rider is basically heart of a Chief, Soul of a Dragon)

But thanks to these books I know exactly what I shouldn’t do in writing a Fantasy novel were a romance is in it. I can promise you that, the love story in my first book is not the center of the Story it’s actually inspired and modelled after Hiccstrid. Which every Romance Author should take a cake of, because Hiccstrid is awesome in every way possible.

When Httyd is my favorite movie trilogy then this is my favorite Book doulogy ever!

Six of crows is by far, for me at least, the best book series I‘ve read. Such interesting Characters with emotional and sad backstories that tie perfectly in the main Story. Ketterdam is by far one of the coolest fictional locations ever. The Barrel is awesome, the crow club, the dregs, the whole atmosphere and aesthetic is so well thought out. The entire heist is such an amazing story in the first book and it continues to be amazing in the sequel. The Plottwists are great and very well written. The interactions and dynamics between the Characters are very interesting because all of them are so different. And Kaz Brekker, Holy Shit this Guy is just a Masterpiece of a morally grey Character. No other morally grey male character that I read about can hold a candle to him. Xaden Riorson is a Joke in Comparison, I don’t feel sorry about that. He is smart, he is cruel and so complex. If he would live in our World he would take the Wall Street down and crash it total. Kaz Brekker is out of all morally grey protagonists on another level. This Man is out of this world. (I just noticed another interesting thing about him thanks to a Book YouTuber. Kaz’s real surname Rietveld means Rice Field. Does this mean he grew up on a Farm with Rice?) Leigh Bardugo is a real Genuis. This Doulogy is a Masterpiece.

I can Highly recommend this doulogy. I promise, you will not be disappointed you will be amazed. I really need to read this doulogy again it’s so freaking good.

Also the crows deserve a whole Movie dedicated to them, they deserve the world.

Chaos Theory is coming soon! And I can’t wait to finally see it😊

Also the Allosaurus my favorite Dinosaur is finally in the spotlight.

I hope it is as great and dark as it seems in the Trailer. Then it would be maybe the series version of the animated empire strikes back. But if its really that good I have some questions regarding T9R to DreamWorks.

Also you have to watch Cinema Therapy, they analyzed Hiccstrids Releationship trough out the Trilogy and the most interesting is when Astrid gives Hiccup a talk before the battle.

How On Earth Is It Possible That A Studio (DreamWorks) That Fucked Up The Lore Of One Of Their Best Franchises

How on earth is it possible that a Studio (DreamWorks) That fucked up the lore of one of their best franchises (T9R) managed to make this Series so incredibly good. 9 Realms was already in motion when the last two seasons of the JW-Series and that’s crazy to me. Also this whole show is better than the whole new JW-Trilogy and Steven Spielberg was actually an Executive Producer on some Seasons and Episodes. I‘m so excited about Chaos Theory, hopefully it will be good.

Some of the things that were shown with the Characters I would’ve liked to see in Rtte. Like in Season 4 of Camp Cretaceous Yaz has PTSD from the adventures of the Isla Nublar. I would’ve liked to see in the episode after Blindsided a similar scenario with Astrid.

I‘ve read it till the last page and I‘m so excited for your next chapters. @drakaina-amore64 But just take your time, I read some of your notes above and I feel you, as someone who is currently writing on her own novel and trying to finish some fanfics and dealing with school stuff at the same time.

Honestly this Fic made my day. Hiccup was so cute even though he felt a bit different from the movies, but hey it’s modern AU so it fits pretty well. Also you got me a little bit recovered from my recent reading that is called Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. At least I care about this characters here and it was exciting and it is always nice to see Hiccstrid Interacting. By the way the tension between them was wonderful and that comes from a Person who is not a big fan of either Romantsy or Romance as the main plot in general. But here it worked really well. Such a touching Story. I love how Hiccup cares for her deeply and you can clearly see that he loves her really much, just like in the Movies. He would do anything for her, so sweet!

Astrid walked into the doctors, coming to stand in the long queue. Fear was gripping every single nerve in her body, making her shiver even though the air was warm. She had no clue what to expect, none at all.

“Hello dear,” the receptionist said, peering up from the computer. “What are you here for?”

“I’m here to ah – I have a doctor's appointment, at 3pm. My name is Astrid Hofferson.”

Astrid tapped her fingers on the desk, waiting for the receptionist to look her up on the computer.

“Excellent. Have a seat Miss Hofferson, Dr. Zimmerman will be with you shortly.”

Astrid pulled away and walked over to the row of chairs that were mostly filled. She found one in the corner, where a young mother and two toddlers were sitting. Sitting down awkwardly, she smiled at the mother and pulled out her phone to scroll through social media while she waited. The two children were grizzling and throwing themselves around in their seat, obviously sick of waiting. The mother was desperately trying to settle them, offering snacks as a distraction when other people in the waiting room began to stare.
