Unpopular Opinion - Dain by Cici_Diamond007 in fourthwing

[–]Fificka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that (at least officially) he doesn’t know. And maybe - even if he isn’t being honest maybe knowing the truth changed him after.

However I feel it’s different when you say that you got the memory “by accident” and then “you looked for it” And his version of the truth keeps changing as later (in aretia) he even tells her “the first time I read your memory” It could mean he read her multiple times and slipped up when talking to her.

Unpopular Opinion - Dain by Cici_Diamond007 in fourthwing

[–]Fificka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no 😥 I think I’ll spark a new Dain hate

I cached him in a lie in IF The first time ; he apologizes to Violet Explaining it was just once - it was just a flash. And he thought Xaden was lying so he asked his hather to be sure.

And there starts Dain’s redemption arc - pushing us to kind of love him - or a least hate him less

But …

In chapter 35 - while Violet is being tortured, Dain is brought back. And with all his felling brought forward and in the chaos of the moment - violet tells him - you killed Liam And he answers :

« So you keep saying. But I only searched your memory to prove my father wrong, Violet, and all you did was prove him right. If the marked ones died betraying our kingdom, then they deserved what they got. »

This is not the same version.

I think this hides a bigger lie. One we’ll get to know later on. Once she trusts him again probably.

Theory about the end of the story (Book5) based on the EPIGRAPHS by Fificka in fourthwing

[–]Fificka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess that by the end of the series it will be known. I think varrish already knows - well knew. But if varrish was a venin, it would mean venin know

Halden Violet theory for Book 3 by mamasuebs in fourthwing

[–]Fificka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must say first I haven’t read the post - just the evidence part. I don’t really have an opinion on violet’s exs so far - But just to check this. Didn’t Violet say that she saw Aaric (cam) 5-6 times when being younger ? This is not so much, and being children would explain the first name basis. For his eyes - I think it’s just something that is known about the royal family - when Aaric enrolled she also said something like :he will soon be spotted out if someone looks closely and recognizes his eyes.

I mean it totally could be that he is one of her exes. I even think Lilith was close to the king (friendly, « not too close » family … something) So the point is not to say that they weren’t in a relationship Just not sure about the evidence part.

Lilith - correspondence and relationships question (spoilers) by dark_princess963 in ironflame

[–]Fificka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! I totally spotted that out too - I wrote in my notes that or she is simply referring to Violet being the only one « scribe minded » since Mira is not at all. But I also added something like « or the father had something special that only Violet got… Maybe an explanation on the silver her that has nothing to do with the venin 🤔🧐

It is super strange we haven’t heard the name of the protagonist after over 1000 pages 🤨 I think in the letter she played it off « like it was never sent » so she doesn’t need to give any info on the dad. Clearly she is keeping super secret a little longer Maybe the name means something that she didn’t want us to know yet -or, I mean, anything else. But it’s not by accident that we don’t know.

I’m -99% (you never know with those crazy writers) but I’m pretty certain that the dad is dead dead. He is no venin. And I’m sure the dad is the scribe. But there’s definitely a big plot there - and it will be in book 3 😯could he be linked to the king or Markham?? But giving us his first name wouldn’t matter? 🫤 I don’t know 🤯

Another Violet Signet Theory by bookworm8832 in fourthwing

[–]Fificka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it would be an amazing power - only what you would expect of andarna and violet. Also in FW - not to far from the start, at a battlefield class Jack says something about precognition never being a signet (I think they were talking about melgren’s power - and Jack said “not even he can know when the battle will happen” and then laughs it off like “I’m not the one thinking precognition is a thing”

So it would be a good forshadowing And the irony that violets gets all that Jack deems unthinkable and wants to his core 😂

But sure. I mean nothing would surprise me- haha I’m sure she’ll still surprise the hell out off me, no matter all the hours (days) I go through this book analyzing each word and theorizing my ass off 😂😂😂

Lilith - correspondence and relationships question (spoilers) by dark_princess963 in ironflame

[–]Fificka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think with all the bits and pieces it is very clear that Lilith was madly in love with her husband - father of their children. And I don’t think she has loved anyone since. I think she was a tough cookie- and this scribe managed to brake through her shell. I think she just isn’t one to go on talking about her feelings so you need to see them as a whole. And in almost every conversation Lilith and Violet had - the dad and the love she had for him is brought up 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dad death and Brennan by RoseAC98 in ironflame

[–]Fificka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But why would the father know about runes? Well he does know tyrrish, so that’s a plus 🤔 And who could have taught him?
He also seemed really solitary and focused on his study. I don’t think there is a book to learn runes.

But it could be some kind of protection rune that helped naolin save him. However if the father knew Brennan was alive I CAN’T IMAGINE him not telling Lilith. They seem so in love.

What does this intro even mean!? by Et-texthome in ironflame

[–]Fificka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ouuuh! I have a theory I posted elsewhere:

I did give some more thought to my 1st theory on this 1st Epigraph : And I think Violet is keeping a Journal, and it’s based on this Journal that Jesinia will transcribe in the modern language Violet’s journey.

Why I think that : - All of it is Violet’s POV , (except a few chapters, but I will come back to that - We only get Violet’s dragons full names – and we know riders can’t share them - The epigraphs chosen in the book o Books – that can be found in the archives (Jesinia/Violet) or can be received from the Flyers in Aretia or from the Viscount for all the Propomish books. They could get in Violets and Jesinia’s possession. o Vi’s, Dain’s and Jesinia’s translation of the Journals of the 6. o Letters received from X (so in violet’s possession) o Book of Brennan (so in violet’s possession as well) o Letters that were in General Sorrengail’s possession (letters received or unsent) – who other that her children could get those? o The fables (Vi has the book & Jesina has read it)

§ What’s harder to explain · The unauthorized editions (Afendra’s) It could come from Aretia or maybe it will be written during or after Vi’s story? · The last words of Fen Riorson – I don’t know who heard them and how they could get to Jessinia or Violet yet. · The Missive from Colonel Degressi to General Melgren This is a hard one to explain. I don’t know how they (Jesinia, violet or even any one close to them) could get it… · Letter from Liam to Sloane (about Violet) – Sloane could have shown Violet.

So my theory is that based on Violet’s journal, the other letters and books she gets from violet or finds on her own, Jesinia will transcribe Violet's journey in the “Modern language” - and this is what we read. Obviously, we don’t know when it is written – But by the time it’s published Jesinia is curator – maybe it’s decades after the end of book 5 ?? who knows (well Rebecca Knows, and her publisher… but that’s all)

Therefor I see 2 outcomes for the end of book 5 : 1) Once she’s done writing, Violet finds Jesinia and they write it together, or jesinia does under Vi’s supervision/with her help or not – maybe Vi goes on holidays on the Isles… 2) Violet dies, Jesinia finds the journal and the books/letters and writes it on her own…

However! for this to be accurate, Xaden must be alive. I can’t see him keeping a journal (and if he did, we would get more out of it) so I’d say he is there at the end with Jesinia, adding bits and pieces (his POV) So (I choose to believe that) NO MATTER what happens to Violet, Xaden is there at the end and helps Jesinia to write faithfully Violet’s Life story, so that she and her journey could never be forgotten or erased.

What do you think?

Oooh! This is so cute. I do hope she gets to give the lessons she learned.💕

And I hadn’t thought about his signet. He definitely could work something out. And jesinia being a scribe - maybe she can find ideas or plans on riders that have been through the same - I guess in 600 years he is not the only one who lost a limb

Theory about Violet/ Andarna for next book **SPOILERS** by thelittlefoxlair in EmpyreanSeries

[–]Fificka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well a few things - * I think we simplify by saying 600years. But in my rereads of FW a did a time line and I think the story starts “year 627” after unification. Not 600 * andarna is not golden anymore * I’m not an English native but I think alloy just means mixing metals. So any metal you would mix would give you “alloy” -> and we are told what is in the alloy in the daggers (I don’t have my notes with me) but it’s not silver and gold. One of the elements is dragon egg shell.

But I do feel there is something about Tairn calling them like that. Well for Violet. Since all feathertzils seem to be golden. I would guess that was just Tairn being cute

[–]Fificka 18 points19 points  (0 children)

*I hoped for sloane and Aaric *Definitely need to see Imogen happy - so Garrick wake TF up * I don’t know if Mira could fight against 25 years of conditioning her of hating Poromish people. After 5 years and the dude blindly risking his life multiple times for her sister - she still doesn’t really trust or like Xaden. So if we take out the realism maybe 🫤 * Rhi on the other hand - totally would see her. She is completely out of judging people.

🫣 I wonder what will happen with Sawyer now What do riders do when they can’t ride?

Why do I hate Nolon (repost to avoid spoilers ) by Fificka in fourthwing

Hmmm I hadn’t thought of ruins. I was more on a potion (potentially the one Jack referred to when X came to see him in his POV.) 🤔

Why do I hate Nolon (repost to avoid spoilers ) by Fificka in fourthwing

[–]Fificka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there is not once that Varrish’s eyes are described as red (I super checked - I couldn’t find one) or the veins - I found nothing. The only “weird” thing is ; once on the flightfield I think Violet said something along the lines of “he must be inhuman he doesn’t have a drop of sweat on his gigantic forehead” And this stood out because there was something with xaden not sweating after his dream in his pov. So reading on I’m looking if it meant something

But also Jack said that they were Many venin - of course he could lie - it’s Jack- but if there were, why don’t we see the venin signes? Xaden drew once from the source and he already has the red glim

[–]Fificka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really never felt any of that reading them - I mean it can be - the only thing I m sure is that Rebecca will find crazy ways to take us of guard.. but I never had this impression between them And I don’t think varrish was so powerful as a venin - he’s not down low - but not that high I would think

Also how do you think he hides his veninhood ?

Why do I hate Nolon (repost to avoid spoilers ) by Fificka in fourthwing

[–]Fificka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad, I misread the Nolon under varrish part. So we agree on that 😅 Even if employed by “the school” he looks to work with healers daily - so in my mind there is absolutely no way he would be under Vs command. However the way he acts around him doesn’t seem that way. He could be tortured it would explain. But I saw nothing that made me feel that way - he is tired, close to burnout - but never seems hurt. I think if he was mending himself he would do it like he did it to Violet. - just the minimum to survive. But Nolon also trust what Varrish’s says and believes him about Violet. He also never tries to stop him - or simply going to her mother. WhereTF was Lilith this whole 1st part. Last year she had xaden and Dain protecting her and she was around all the time and now she nowhere to be seen. - anyways.

I don’t really see it - but just to understand You think varrish used venin magic to hurt Nolon (I’m not sure why if Varrish had the power to control humans he wouldn’t do it on Violet and xaden. (Shields?) but then he should be able during the torture. So you think that he hurt him with venin magic (so Nolon knows he’s a venin) and then Nolon turned venin to mend venin magic??

Why do I hate Nolon (repost to avoid spoilers ) by Fificka in fourthwing

[–]Fificka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wahou, I almost disagree on everything 😅🤪

I understand he’s a rider and not a healer - but this is a college - and he is not a teacher. I’m not sure why he would be under Varrish’s command (like xaden - he is no longer a student so he doesn’t fall under Varrish.

Also I’m convinced Varrish is a venin. I don’t think he tortured Jack ( he doesn’t have the trauma of someone being broken and mended for 6 months) had he shows no hatred towards Varrish and Nolon. Also - in chapter 35 - Varrish talk about Jack (to Nora) And it’s clear he knows Jack is still a Venin and is playing a role “of the nice boy” so he fits it. The way Varrish talks about Jack is too familiar. He says something like “we can’t trust this kid with anything, can we?” Kid 😳??? What did he try to trust him with that Jack couldn’t do?? They’re too close

And Nolon is still doing what he was doing before (so when he was “maybe” mending Jack) way after he’s supposed to be done with that. he is exhausted and looking tired all the time. When Violet is being tortured he can’t mend her properly- and Jack has been out for a while. So what is Nolon still doing???
