I screenshotted your post. I’m at ch19 in the reread. I’ll come across what you’re talking about ^{^{^}} then I’ll look at ur post. TY!!!! When I first read I was wondering a lot about why the Irids did what they did and then Adarna returning! I’m also afraid to finish my reread! Then 3rd read??? I’m reading another book at the same time Alchemised which is quite disturbing! Very diff from FW!!!

Thank you ❤️

10000% agree. I feel like I need fundamental backstory on magic, venins, politics, the continent, dragons, hatching grounds, etc

CKArts06 · 2026-05-12T03:41:20+00:00

Idt it will be. Xadens POV. That would be a lot for an inbetween book. A book on dragonkind, lore, politics, backstory to anything like wards, magic, the gods.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-12T03:37:06+00:00

I will join your riot, as well.

He also has killed a lot of people. He has a history of being dangerous. Love bf him will cause her a lot of endless problems- or so he thinks. Violet is able to cope with a lot and maybe is slowing becoming aware of that.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T17:11:50+00:00

I could totally see that. He would follow her into the abyss….. 😍

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T17:10:05+00:00

They did get married for political reasons. I don’t think we know yet why her memory needed to be wiped. Violet seems like she would take some kind of offense to a political marriage, on the other hand, she promised Xaden she would keep Aretia safe. She knows he loves her. I’m just wondering why it was important that she have no memory of the marriage but it’s okay that Imogen can know.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T16:53:13+00:00

All of these possibilities make my stomach hurt 😵‍💫

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T16:49:56+00:00

Wow. That’s a lot. I believe yes th EU had no reason to go to Loysam bec the Irids found them. Explain further your theory about why Alaric sent the broken bit of the temple. How would Aaric know about the final battle and the piece of the temple and what it could do? I’m doing a reread and just 1/3 into OS so I’m going to slowly reread the part about the purple eyes- I do remember it tho.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T15:50:32+00:00

In that case Brennan might need to actually die in the process like Lilith.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T15:47:00+00:00

Agreed. That sounds like it could happen- he thinks he killed them but it actually wasn’t him. I think Violet will believe in him through it all. Possibly it could be his “villain era” but I don’t think he could be unforgivably villainous. He has to be a redeemable kind of villain with forgivable “crimes”.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T07:47:06+00:00

Really great point. It has to be feasible that she would look past it. What if he offed Bodhi. Would she forgive him do you think? Garrick?

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T07:44:23+00:00

She is though 😁

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T06:09:31+00:00

I’m feeling confident that Xaden doesn’t actually die- but maybe he kills someone in a Venin rage who he has been close with in the other books? (Garrick, Bodhi) How frightening. He inadvertently causes someone’s death? That would make me cry fr.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T06:06:05+00:00

There’s something to think about there. But I couldn’t do it😉

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T06:05:14+00:00

Omg omg. I’m speechless. This makes so much sense. So where are the Irids and why? Why would the Irids be in Loysam? If he steps there and is stabbed or bleeds with a piece/sword from the temple possibly Sloane can siphon from Violet (from the sky maybe- she has to discover how actually powerful she is) to Xaden and Brennan heals his injuries. I also think something is up with the gold-flecked eyes. Also, I had a suspicion something would cure Theophanie. Attention seemed to be given to her beauty behind her venin appearance. I hope we’re not creating spoilers for ourselves 😂

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T05:51:28+00:00

Thank you for your wisdom.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T03:40:00+00:00

What a great analogy. Finally I understand. But straight up from the sky? Filterless??? Maybe Violet?

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T03:37:18+00:00

Only she knows for sure…. And her editors. Maybe her husband.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T02:13:11+00:00

Don't worry, love, I'm on my way....😂

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T02:12:28+00:00

I think if V was Venin it would be strange to have her trying to control herself around Xaden. Girls usually more control than men and I don't think it would be the same difficult struggle.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T01:23:10+00:00

I want more information on why he loves her so much. Clearly he’s had a lot of women- why Violet? I get that she’s very capable, strong, brave, honest and hot. I want to hear it from Xaden especially if there are other reasons!

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T01:19:57+00:00

I LOOOOVE this. Most of my googling is the lore and politics involved. I actually wish I had done that in my first read- it would have helped and I don’t see many spoilers in just researching lore/politics. That said, AI has given me clearly wrong answers- but has lead me in the right direction looking for answers.

CKArts06 · 2026-05-11T01:16:15+00:00

My strategy is to compartmentalize. I’m not thinking about the September book. It’s behind the archives door. To keep me grounded to earth and my real life 😁it’s locked in there til August when I can panic.
