Violet: You believe me?
Xaden: Violence, you’re the last good person on this planet. I‘d believe cartoon birds braided your hair this morning.
I KNEW IT I FIXKING KNEW ITTT I WAS SO FUCKING KNOWING OF IT. I KNEW BRENNAN HAD TO BE ALIVE. I GUESSED THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. FUCK THIS.
THANK GOD I HQVE THE SECOND BOOK ALREADYYYY
Some memes that just describe two plot twist in fourth wing that I predict but when it happened my heart almost stopped: (spoilers obv)
I thought I was the only one who had a crazy mom who wouldn’t let her sleep until she ate her food but turns out so does Violet. I also stayed once awake for hours staring down my mom cause I refused to eat it and honestly I would do it again easily.
I love how Mira is a real bitch like me, you did something wrong? She’s gonna be honest, no sugarcoating it. She slaps Brennan, and verbally slapped the shit out of her mom and I love her for it
I'm rereading fourth wing and iron flame again so here are my thoughts on what each character's signet says about them as a person (spoilers for both books ahead):
Violet (lightning wielding): she is exactly as xaden calls her, violence. she's insanely stubborn and has quite a temper. she has a deep seeded need to defend the people and places that she cares about.
Xaden (shadow wielding): this one's easy because it's spelled out plainly by violet herself. xaden has secrets he needs to protect.
Xaden (intinnsic): signets often manifest based on need, and xaden's position as a revolutionary leader means that he needs to be able to make snap judgments about people and their intentions. he needs to know who he can trust.
Dain (memory reading): this one is also spelled out by violet. he's fucking nosy as shit.
Bodhi (signet countering): bodhi is often described as a more reasonable version of xaden. he's an incredibly neutral guy in most cases, and he's often the voice of reason during conflict.
Mira (ward building): she's a big sister, a protector. she can literally shield the people that she loves.
Brennan (mending): brennan is described as being an incredible tactician. he's a problem-solver. he fixes things. being a mender means he can not only heal people but literally fix objects.
Rhiannon (retrieving): i actually don't know if anyone has any ideas i'd love to hear them.
Ridoc (ice wielding): ridoc's signet is super interesting because it seems to directly oppose his fiery personality. my best guess is that it's because he's the comic relief who can cool people off during emotional moments.
Liam (farsight): he's super perceptive. there are multiple moments when he's able to gain unique insight on people and situations.
garrick (unknown): please rebecca give us more garrick moments we don't even know what his signet is i'm begging you.
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.
FOURTH WING SPOILERS AHEAD
I think I just realized something, with SPOILER brennan Violets brother actually being not dead, this scene makes much more sense:
"Your father killed my older brother, seems like were even."
"Hardly."
