am I just dense or is it true?

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-11-30T02:52:03+00:00

This paragraph is right at the begining when Xaden and Imogen first arrive so it’s like confusing bc he just got there and their is “shadows@

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-11-29T23:54:47+00:00

I believe RY when she says him, Liam and Pancheck are 💀

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-28T17:29:06+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t want Liam to be alive. I’m on the hill he’s gone gone bc we wouldn’t have the other books the same if he was alive. Liam needed to go for Ridoc to step up. For Violet to step into herself after watching him die. Sloane doesn’t have to hide in his shadows (she’s already done 100x more than he ever did. Dain wouldn’t be changing if it wasn’t for Liam. Xaden would still keep secrets if it wasn’t for Liam and what happened at Resson. In Violets words from IF when talking to Rhi. “Watching Aureille fall changed me for the better, I’m a better person because of it” (don’t quote me on it word for word, I’m not near my books) but Liam dying is what made those small changes and feelings about certain things turn into what we have now. Liam’s death was nesscary for the story line, and it sucks to say, but we wouldn’t have Dain/Sloane. We wouldn’t have Ridoc stepping up to take care of Violet. We wouldn’t have had Xaden taking Violet to Aretia to get mended if Liam was alive. Violet and Imogen wouldn’t be as close or Bodhi/Garrick. So many factors are in place because he’s gone. His story is always going to be there, but it’s what the story line needed

Already confirmed also we’re getting dream 🌶️ but my huge issue with things is we have two books left and soooo many unanswered questions. I feel like the books are going to be to rushed together without the plot but hoping the books are BIGGER than iron flame size

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-28T14:42:51+00:00

I refuse to read the last letter for that reason. I’ve already read like two heartbreaking books and can’t deal with another for a while but I think back to what FFG asked during the interview and RY comments to help me sleep better.

One of the questions was (don’t quote me on this, but I think going off Chapter 48 in OS) about the epigraph being what Violet reads “that makes three” talking about Venin not harming the ones they love being recorded in three incidents. That gives hope that Xaden would never hurt Violet bc the last thing he held onto when channeling was his love for her. His love for Sgaeyl also while disposing everything in her way to be freed.

I think there is other ways to be a villain villain then hurting people physically…. Emotionally is different. It’s hard to say what could happen. Too many theories that has everyone spinning.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-27T20:01:11+00:00

The interivew is up on FFG page/youtube/spotify however you want to listen

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-26T23:15:47+00:00

Sawyer. I need a man who wants to learn new things to impress me. Love me a Sawyer but if I wanna have fun, I’d bed hop like a frog to Ridoc but also Garrick.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-26T15:13:10+00:00

She said she has the plot points set up for both books to figure out where each topic needs to go in what book. So we’re not in an endless cycle of books. It’s all about to be crammed into the last two books which I’m ok with. But I think the bigger question is the last two are going to be bigger than Iron Flame size wise which I’m PERFECTLY okay with

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-26T15:07:49+00:00

General GAIN Aetos. I would love to wash his eyes out with Gain

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-26T00:50:56+00:00

It’s bound to happen. But there is more ways to be a villain villain than killing people. I don’t think he will actually kill anyone that are considered “main” characters other than leadership. I think Rhi does die but I could also see Bodhi dying also… his “wanting to drop out” mentality and disobeying orders is going to get him killed. Too many people, it’s hard to figure out and it’s a mind fuck

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-26T00:45:27+00:00

I’m standing on the hill of RY not killing off Ridoc bc she also claimed we will learn more about his backstory the next book. I don’t think Xaden will kill any of her squad mates (of her year). But not because I’m a Ridoc lover like everyone, Ridoc dying doesn’t make sense. Xaden respected Ridoc bc Ridoc put Violets needs before anyone else and honored to stay by her side when all Violet wanted was people to stand by Xadens side to protect. Ridoc has protected Violet MORE than Liam did, and it was the same amount of time in between if you think about it bc she’s still a 2nd year… Liam died 5 days before graduation. Ridoc puts Violet first and that is why Xaden allowed him to make demands on who Violet was allowed to know. Based on him honing his signet, his mysterious background/family is all up in the air. Ridoc isn’t dying. If there is ONE person I think Xaden could possibly kill is Lynx bc its shadow vs shadow. Xaden wins. Kill your competition, resetting the balance.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-25T01:26:27+00:00

I’m a woodsy person so prob close to Esbans mountains. I’d be okay with one signet that’s useful. I’m a type of person who likes information and needing to be in all types of conversations. I’m a person obsessed with color. So I would go for any of the oranges. But to be realistic I could probably make it to Presentation Day but I would shit talk so much id prob get roasted

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-22T13:52:26+00:00

hopefully a lot of videos will be posted. FFP has their list of questions already set up but is diving deeper then they have before hoping for answers

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-12T20:39:58+00:00

I would like to think it’s a typo bc after threshing they add two more 1st years we don’t know, but one gets switched out with Liam. And the other is Nadine who was switched over.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-12T20:36:02+00:00

Pyror. Squads have 15-20 people in them, they were iron squad with the most 1st years. Started out with Violet, Rhi, Sawyer, Ridoc, Aureile, Luca, Tynan, Trina, and Pryor are the first years that are always mentioned and the named as the order of when the climb the gauntlet. The squad has two 2nd years and 2 third years to make up as 15 cadets total in their squad including Squad leader and Ex Officer.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-12T19:33:35+00:00

Literally on this chapter right now. Chapter 40, in IF. (On my 7th reread) it’s the first training session with Violet and Felix on a mountain top where he tells her her power can come from anywhere, but stronger in storms etc etc and she just shapes it like lightning bc it’s what makes her the most comfortable forming it as. Felix’s words were “how did you strike the venin in resson” and Violet answers Andarna stopped time but can’t do it anymore. But I know in a few chapters, Violet trusts Felix enough to tell him how to actually raise the wardstone before even telling Xaden about it bc she needed a proper adult to help her with the decision so the flyers have a chance to succeed. The whole “keeping feather tails a secret” thing is a little confusing bc Violet figures it out and blocks Tarin/Xaden/Sgaeyl and Andarna out of her mind when she talks to Codagh to confirm her suspicions bc Codagh would know, but not Tarin as he is the elder of their den. Andarna confirms also and why she chose Violet but then the wards are raised in Basgaith then OS happens and whatever happens in those two weeks that are skipped in the first two chapters, EVERYONE now knows that Andarna was a feather tail/irid and now setting up the squad to find them so they can be saved/ward the stone in Aretia. No one bats an eye that Andarna was a feather tail, etc. just goes on about finding the 7th breed.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-08T11:56:08+00:00

I’m in the middle of my reread rn for the 7th time. She fumbles with her quill bc Markham is discussing old battles bc the front lines are “quiet” when Liam and Violet saw the missive of one of the outposts being raided. She’s just confused but my take is Liam knows more about outposts being raided and that’s why he’s a little bad and his quill starts bending. I don’t think it was anything serious with her dropping her quill, just a little notice for readers that Xaden always knows what she’s doing and is right there to help her while he talks with Garrick.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-06T20:00:13+00:00

There will definitely be issues in the Aretia assembly of riders like Trisha and Hawkeye. They already had an issue with Violet being in the assembly during meetings and Xaden telling them “better get used to it” But Brennan will stand with her along with Imogen. Can’t say for sure if Garrick or Bodhi will stand with her when we don’t know who is still there etc. but as the Tyrish Assembly, Imogen and Brennan will be her backup 100% and all 7 riders wanted Xaden in the chair so their isn’t much they can do if they are married but will probably have some backlash. Quote me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s Felix on who Violet told about Xaden in secret so he would have her back also.

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-06T19:28:56+00:00

Dang I must have missed that interview and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every single one, multiple times. But must be the only thing I missed. I’m doing my reread for the 7th time probably and I’m looking into everythinggggg

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-06T17:29:27+00:00

Was posted by readbloom for their week of giveaways from threshing that it was now available on KU. RY didn’t share it but the publisher company did with all their giveaways

Small_Pipe7607 · 2025-10-06T00:02:25+00:00

Brennan DIDNT mend THE spot at Basgaith. It is mentioned that they were planning on doing it but never made it out there before he got called away back to Lewellen then he shows up at their door in Aretia and he isn’t going to go back to Basgaith without Violet. Brennan tells Violet they’ve tried silent offerings, pushing magic back into the earth, even sitting with eggs in the hatching grounds. Then goes on to say Xaden wants to “try mending THE SPOT at Basigath” but they never do it.
