While Violet figures out that Xaden is an inntinnsic, a person who can read people’s minds with the power they channel through their dragon, for herself after much questioning, is there a chance Xaden would have eventually told her himself? Their relationship felt so real throughout because of their very real relationship issues; trust issues, long distance and an ex lover? We end the book there in that scene with Jack in Xaden’s POV, meaning we don’t get to be in Violet’s head for her reaction to Xaden becoming venin. She continues to put herself last and has me literally gripping the pages thinking the worst because she’d rather die than let someone else die. Is this scene with Liam a hint that Violet’s potential second signet has something to do with a connection to the dead?
The book — I'm in my publisher’s house, and if I spoil anything, I think she's going to, like, burst through my door! Yarros' books don't include pronunciation guides, which is a common practice in other fantasy novels, and Yarros used several Scottish Gaelic words for titles in her series, such as the college Basgiath or the names of two of the dragons. And I really appreciated the Ehler-Danlos syndrome rep, and I thought Yarros did a good job of exploring how it affects Violet’s training and her confidence. And she eats everything because I have teenage boys and my editor is like, why is she eating everything, and I’m like, have you ever been with teenagers?So if you are Andarna and you are a feathertail and you watch the thing closest to you that you love most in the world poisoned by a dagger, would you not become the poison yourself? But also, I wanted them to see Catriona’s not out to get Violet just because she loves Xaden, or because they had this relationship, she’s out for the power. Think about what makes you you, and what makes your self esteem and what makes your sense of purpose. Having fostered then adopted their youngest daughter, Rebecca is passionate about helping children in the foster system through her nonprofit, One October. How did you decide how each of them would react to her choice to sacrifice herself by using Sloane to siphon her power into the wardstone?
They die with the people who keep them" and while many a secret come to light, I can not begin to fathom the amount left to be overturned.Ok, so we were all anxious about Violet severing her communication with Andarna and Tairn at the end of Fourth Wing. Violet is much less perceptive in “Iron Flame” than she was in “Fourth Wing,” missing or ignoring several things said in passing that a reader would be likely to notice. As expected, this ends on another unsuspected cliffhanger, like Fourth Wing did before it - and this one has me distraught beyond belief! I went from watching Harry Potter and being emerged in a world I loved and understood, to watching Game of Thrones and seeing a lot of impressive stuff yet feeling no connection to the world and story.
So I was never going to give the readers my vision because I know that once you give the readers your vision, that’s what they’re gonna stick to. How did you decide to do a part one and part two for “Iron Flame,” and did you ever consider making part two into the third book in the series instead? And it was a point that my editor and I went back and forth on and luckily I’m pretty persuasive — don’t get me wrong, she gets her way a lot — but it was her idea to break it into the parts as opposed to one story.Mira has always been closer to her mother, she has always modeled her mother, she has been very much a mirror of her mother.
It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless she betrays the man she loves.
Besides, we all remember that Violet promised LiamMairi that she will look after his sister, Sloane. Because the whole point of “Fourth Wing” when I wrote it was very much, would you give up your shield to become your neighbors sword?
Great Deal
