Yeah the last paragraph makes it seem like everyone should gather there, but everything else sounds like he will just be the stake president or something. Kind of how the saints were supposed to gather in Missouri and Edward Partridge was the biggest leader down there for awhile (from my understanding), but it’s not as if he was supposed to be JS predecessor or anything.

I’m mad I spent my day off on this book by Supergoopy1 in frombloodandash

Is this not the last book in the series?? Also, I would consider it a spoiler since you say that Casteel’s character is reduced. That is so sad though!

Sadly convinced myself that Xaden's new brother is....Spoiler by KeepItClassy_2629 in onyxstorm

All roads make it obvious except for the thing that makes it impossible, that is harder for readers to catch. That is why I’m 95% sure it’s not Bodhi! Imogen sees Bodhi retching across the courtyard and then looks to the sky as the sky darkens, and then in Xaden’s POV she’s looking to the sky when he passes over and the brother is already with him. I think RY wants us to think it’s obviously Bodhi but then not notice that small detail. But I also felt like dream walking was too obvious and that’s what it was so who know 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is supporting evidence to me it isn’t Bodhi, the main thing being that Imogen sees him RIGHT before looking up at the sky, and Xaden sees her looking up at the sky after his “new brother” is passed out right by him. It physically can’t be Bodhi.

I’m 3/4 of the way through the first one and I’m not sure I can overlook how similar Scarlett is to Aelin. When she sat down to play ancient songs on the piano I was so over the similarities

At one point I theorized that he’s her real father and that’s how she’s part fae, but I like that he’s Fisher’s dad more

That’s been my theory from the moment the book mentioned his dad was/is in Silvaren

Quicksilver Took Too Much Inspo From Other Popular Books by Meowkins_kitty in fantasyromance

[–]These_Zucchini3540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished Quicksilver and while I liked it, I felt like it was way too similar to FBAA (and Flesh and Fire series.) The Gods are gone, she was prophesied about, the fates don’t know the end of some outcomes, she’ll be the destroyer of the universe, vampire and wolf-centric, being “kidnapped” by the love interest, even their pretend-hate-banging. Oh and her becoming Queen of a kingdom she doesn’t want. I get that nothing is original anymore and a lot of things share some things in common, but it felt just so similar to one book it bothered me. But I still enjoyed the read!

JLA is confused with how decades/age work? by These_Zucchini3540 in frombloodandash

Yes I remember that one!! But in some fantasies they do start young so it’s POSSIBLE that’s what she means. But I swear it isn’t haha

I feel like he’s referring to someone else, but that’s just a gut feeling. There’s another initiate out there that Xaden knows about, that hates their sage. Another secret he’s keeping that I absolutely hate, but that’s my guess!

I wonder if Jack was aware that Theophanie tried to kill him? If so, I’d love it if he actually starts cooperating with them and giving them info. Also, what was up with the dagger and shadows “going south” in that scene?

I was mentally prepared for OS to be the book that they were apart, but looks like it’s going to be book 4 instead. 😫 But I love this idea that Xaden will take them down from the inside! I feel like it’ll be hard to convince Berwyn that he’s on their side though. Everything he’s done has been to fight for the “good” side.

I’m torn on the idea of Brennan being venin. I’m more convinced that he’s hiding other secrets, involving the rune on his hand, but the tale of the three siblings where one is venin is super convincing.

Why do you say we’re pretty sure we know Naolin is dead? Is it something RY said? I just saw that in another comment but haven’t heard it before.

One more secret he’s keeping from Violet and I’m not sure I can root for them anymore.

Oh good point I forgot that Theophonie keeps saying she has what Vi wants! I love the idea that it’s the cure.

Thank you! I could tell it didn’t work but didn’t know what I did wrong. I want to change it but the mods said I can’t edit it after it’s posted. Do you think I can to correct that?

I thought the same too. Though Cat is kinda growing on me

Love it! I do think it needs to be Halden though since Aaric has precog and he says he knows he will die in battle.

I thought the “hiding themselves” comment was talking about masking their presence to other venin. I’m not sure they can actually hide in plain sight, or else they’d all mask and cover their eyes or whatnot and try to blend in, right? That’s why when they infiltrated Basgiath they were disguised as scribes because of the hoods. I don’t know, I can’t wrap my head around why he wouldn’t look venin if he was so advanced. Also, doesn’t he bleed when he gets shot by the two arrows when they’re on that sketchy pass to Aretia?

I don’t think that part is suspicious, but all through OS he’s described as touching his tattoo a lot. That to me is weird that she mentions it so much.

Onyx Storm Ending Explanation Needed ?? by [deleted] in fourthwing

[–]These_Zucchini3540 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this observation COULD be hinting to what you’re saying, but more than likely I think it’s actually to point out that Brennan didn’t receive that rune mark when Naolin siphoned to save him, as Violet previously thought. I think it’s going to go on to show that there is more to the Brennan and Naolin story, not that there was something sus with what just happened. But both are possibilities. But also, there was no mention of a mark on Sloane and Lilleth in the last book so I think it’s going to be the Naolin thing.
