just finished rereading fourth wing and i am experiencing so many emotions i cannot put a single one into words.

*spoilers*

liam dying somehow hurt even worse the second time around, even though i knew it was coming.

i didnt like dain from the beginning even on my first read but my hatred was so much more intense the second time around knowing he was violating her mind every single time he touched her

i dont really like comparing book series' but xaden and his shadow wielding is so azriel coded (that's honestly where i think the similarities end though)

i really really hope rhiannon gets to be in the next book and i really hope she somehow gets brought into the revolution because she's genuinely one of my favorite characters and i think violet needs her support

i'm so excited to learn more about brennan in the next book, he seems like he's gonna be such a great character and definitely is a great brother to violet and leader among aretia

a part of me hopes that violet's dad is also secretly alive but i know he's not

the brief mention in xaden's pov chapter about his mother hinting at some kind of trauma? i'm so curious about whether the "not going there" was meant to imply is she was maybe abusive? or if maybe she betrayed his father or something.

xaden is genuinely one of the best love interests ive read in a long time. like yeah he makes some mistakes (he should have been more open and honest with violet as soon as things started getting serious between them) but i love that he admits his mistake and wants to make it up to her. not to compare to ACOTAR again since so many people already do that but Rhys would never (i'm not a rhys hater but i'm just saying)

violet is seriously my favorite fmc of all time. i was worried in the beginning when she was described as being so physically frail that she would follow the "y/n so tiny and helpless" trope but when she said "i will handle my rucksack and i will handle myself" i immediately knew she wasn't gonna be like that and loved her for it.

the book being mobility aid positive and the treatment of violet's eds i thought was really good (obviously aided by the fact that rebecca yarros has the same condition) but i loved when tairn tells violet not to be ashamed of using the saddle and that having a body with different needs doesn't make her less than or less deserving of riding

tairn and andarna are the best. tairn reminds me of a grumpy but loving dad (my daddy issues were screaming whenever he told violet he was proud) and andarna reminded me of a sweet little sister. even sgaeyl reminded me of a slightly scary but not unkind aunt.

ive preordered iron flame and will now be sitting and waiting for november 7th to come.

hoping to get more Garrick in Iron Flame. Underrated character in my opinion.

will be listening to absolutely NO fourth wing hate or criticism, sorry. it's actually perfect and it possesses not a single flaw.

I have just started the Fourth Wing Saga (hopefully we get a third Book) and I‘m in Awe Right now.

This One of the Books like ACTOR & Six of Crows were I‘m thinking Holy Shit…this cool…give Me more of that!

Fourth Wing - the prelude to the empyrean Series

I‘m finish with Fourth Wing and OMG is this book Worth the Hype. The ending for the first book was way to good. I nearly cried at same time I was in Awe. Holy Shit is This Book Well written was the only thing I thought. I can’t wait to Start with Iron Flame.

I just have a few Issues. The Releationship between Violet and Xaden is to much in the Focus and honestly very uninteresting. Xaden himself is also not very interesting. There are moments were you think you should feel something for him, but you don’t. He’s just Rhysand and Darkling but without any of the character, he is pretty two dimensional and actually not that impressive. The tension between him and Violet is kept to a minimum, they have in my opinion just one good conversation were there is little chemistry and one good moment on the parapet but the others. They are just horny for one another, nothing else. He doesn’t try to kill her, it would be more interesting and would help the chemistry if he just try to kill her as revenge on her mom. We actually don’t know why they are attracted to each other, other than Violet saying he is so hot and that’s it. Also about Violet, everyone is saying she’s similar to Hiccup from httyd, and yeah she is but in the Tom-Way from T9R similar, I would say either. I was actually really disappointed that the Releationship between Violet and her dragon(s) and the political stuff is not the Focus of the Story. But it’s not a bad book, it’s just not the best. Don’t expect ACTOR Level of Storytelling and Action.

I can highly recommend it, for people who are new to the Fantasy Genre!
