    Summary

    “You want to have an heir?” The skepticism is palpable in his tone, as though he’s sure he must have misunderstood her. She doesn’t quite blame him.

    “No,” she replies, painfully honest. “I want to have a baby, Xaden. But I’m willing to give you an heir.”

     

    Lonely, desperate, and miserable, Violet’s life as reluctant queen of Tyrrendor in a post-war Aretia is less fairytale and more nightmare. When the husband she never asked for denies her the one last thing she’d hoped could improve her situation, she breaks.

     

    A tale of love and despair – and of how sometimes you need to break completely in order to heal and then, eventually, live.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is lovely and something different–classic relationship misunderstanding at the start, but it makes the healing process the actual story and you’re constantly rooting for the characters to get there. Currently on Chapter 6. I suppose if no more is written, it’s OK to end at this point, but there’s a central promise in the story still to be met. I hope the author gets there.

    Summary

    Med school is hell. Being broke is worse. Violet’s solution? Make a deal with the devil — and he answers to Riorson.

    But when their worlds collide, Violet learns this deal is about more than money — it’s about power, politics, and survival. Oh and the fact she wants to climb that man like a tree.

    Chapter 11: I feel like the mystery in this story really pays great dividends in this chapter – the characterisation and tension, the unknowns, drive the story. Can’t remember the last time a simple conversation excited/ intrigued me so much. :)

    Summary

    Fourth Wing from Xaden Riorson's POV. Written after release of Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, AND Onyx Storm. (Spoilers!)

    A retelling of Fourth Wing from Xaden Riorson’s point of view with all the knowledge we have to date (in other words, through Onyx Storm). Honestly, I think the best way to read my posts is by reading the concurring Chapter in Fourth Wing first. A lot of the dialogue is canon Fourth Wing, but I have added a view of Xaden concurring with Violet's timeline in the book, so we see him outside the bounds of what Violet does and hopefully (if I'm doing a good job) we will have insights into Xaden's actions in Fourth Wing.

    Thank you to Queen Rebecca Yarros for inspiring me to want this version of the story for myself. All characters and true canon belong to her.

    Believable!Xaden voice. I like how it offers a description of how Xaden and the others get to the turret on Conscription Day.

    It’s making me have thoughts about the source text itself. Suddenly I understand better exactly why Emery asked if Xaden was ready for the next one; it’s because he’s already being distracted by Violet – lol.

    It’s also suddenly made me think about the conversation Xaden and Violet later have down the line about hope. I’ve never really bothered to think much about it from his perspective; what exactly is his greatest hope? Does his hope seem as unachievable as hers? How realistic does he think that hope is?

    Meh - that’s enough thinking for today.
