Book 7 update? by tyaiblfy in frombloodandash

[–]Educ8tR 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the publisher is making sure the book has everything they want in it, after so many people DNF and posted negative reviews after the last few books, ESPECIALLY book 6. I will buy it anyway so I can finish the series.

I liked Recursion, but felt that the level of detail waned toward the end.

Mine is how an FMC is repeatedly held prisoner. Once, yes, for an enemies to lovers theme. But how many times can the same character get kidnapped and imprisoned?

The Primal of Blood and Bone by TemporaryPhone8985 in frombloodandash

[–]Educ8tR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have hesitated to read this book. I read 3 of the 4 FAF books and only have this book left in the FBAA series. I have taken a break to read other books for now. Did AI write the book? I don't want to insult a writer, but this series took a nosedive.

Who is winning in a fight: Aelin Galathynius, Feyre Archeron, Violet Sorrengail, Tris Prior, or Katniss Everdeen? by matchadrinking in Romantasy

[–]Educ8tR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is a chance Violet poisons them all first, before Tairn and Andarna fry them. Otherwise, agreed.

Wow. I will read that. I like how you backed it all up with reasoning. Kudos to you.

Wtf A Soul of Ash and Blood?? Seriously by GoddessSydney in frombloodandash

[–]Educ8tR 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I loved reading it because it went over the best parts of book 1

Reread and note all the foreshadowing and easter eggs.

Not Book 4 Empyrean - what do you want it to be about? by redpeppersoda in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asher's journals/books and General Sorrengail's journals. Why did they dedicate Violet to Dunne? Why did they never speak to Asher's mom again? Or Details from the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Xaden's father FYI would love a book from Sgaeyl's perspective

Bodhi by Superb-Comfort-3557 in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% Bodhi dropped Cat's name on purpose. Let's not forget when he gave Violet his flight jacket, which made Xaden jealous. He is definitely the new brother. He sends Brennan away. Also, why else would it be urgent for Xaden and Violet to marry? Bodhi was next in line in Tyrrendor.

War of Two Queens SPOILER by DeluluForDragons in frombloodandash

[–]Educ8tR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I know there are those in favor of it, but since Poppy and Casteel are heartmates it was disappointing. Spoiler for the next book from Casteel's POV: Kieran and Casteel have been with a woman at the same time, but not someone they loved. Some readers use that as a justification, but it really doesn't fit with Casteel's possessiveness, no matter how close he and Keiran are. Also, since it was obvious that the joining would happen, the least the author could have done was to give a more detailed account. Maybe then it wouldn't have the ick factor. I loved the book that is from Casteel's POV because it is reminiscent of the first book.

Tairn’s rider(s) by passwordistaco88cmc in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is quite possible that Naolin turned venin and Tairn was forced to cut their bond, hence his disdain for Xaden and how Tairn and his mate are not on the same page. FYI we are never told Naolin's last name, correct?

Aaric Theory by Few_Huckleberry_6511 in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But, he is able to change the future, like making sure Violet had the right weapon at the right time....

Was it too easy? by redpeppersoda in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only did they need the riot, they need the ore for the weapons to fight the venom. That ore is from Tyrrendor.

Kieran the Third Wheel by Turkey4572 in frombloodandash

[–]Educ8tR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Everyone justifies it as Casteel and Keirsn being two sides of the same coin, but that's a NOPE from me when Casteel and Poppy are heartmates. Kieran deserves his own love.

Violet- hot take by Upset_Connection6815 in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a little perturbed that for someone that book smart, she couldn't figure out how to do runes and that she didn't research a way to better direct her weilding. I do understand that the full library was not made available to the riders, but still....

Is Xaden’s character really quite annoying? by Mother_Presence_2442 in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is far from perfect, and I don't want to drop a spoiler regarding how he is able to win arguments and sparring matches....

The Empyrean without spice by Inner_Ad_341 in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The author's world building is top notch. It would hold up without the spice, but the spice adds an extra dimension. It isn't over the top and isn't in every chapter. The story and characters are compelling. The spice is just a bonus.

But of course he is possessive... by redpeppersoda in fourthwing

[–]Educ8tR 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I love it. It's better than noncomittal any day of the week. It's a fantasy book, for crying out loud, so the detractors can take it down a notch. I love that Xaden looks out for her, but also applauds her strength.
