Kindle Notes & Highlights
“First Wing stands strong! Stands loyal to Navarre!” A cheer rises from the left.
Republican ass shit
“Not sure I’d brag about being in the wing that produced Jack Barlowe!” Ridoc counters.
I LOVE HIM
“You blame us for Barlowe, but you’re the ones who left!”
Maybe she just feels hurt? did she have a crush on Dain or something ?
“Yes, we left,” Dain continues, his hands closing into fists. “But we also returned.”
Facts they couldve let yall die
the enemy that killed my own cousin in one of their raids! And you think we should welcome them into the heart of the kingdom they’ve been trained to destroy?”
Thats a lie
“Dain isn’t the strongest!” Andarna repeats, and this time, I get the point. I am.
Well i wouldn't say strongest, I'd say you're resourceful and quick on ur feet, also you're not gonna fry her w lightning so
Her eyes narrow. “Sorrengail.” “Violet, no,” Dain protests.
Dain haven't u learned ur lesson
I inform Aura, taking a measured step in her direction and welcoming the crackle of sizzling power in my fingertips.
Can she use her lightning like Killua? That'd be dope
“Violet,” Rhiannon warns softly from my right. “Shh, it’s more fun when she blows shit up,” Ridoc whispers.
I LOVE HIM
The last time a shadow and lightning wielder fought side by side, they managed to drive the venin back into the Barrens for a few hundred years. We’ll figure out how to do it again.”
Xaden and I are the first of our signets to live simultaneously since the Great War?
“Not just Aretia, either…he gave me Tyrrendor,” Xaden says slowly, like he can’t believe it, either.
“There’s a very small, very skilled group going with Violet to find Andarna’s kind.”
I simply don’t think its fair that Vi doesn’t get to pick who goes with her… like i imagine a huge diff it makes to try to work with and fight cohesively with people you don’t know and haven’t fought with before, opposed to those you are comfortable with & and have fought side by side with. Not to mention those you trust.
Bodhi and Quinn making their way toward us from the opposite direction with Maren in their wake, pillow lines etched on her face.
Who in tf is Maren?
“It’s best you don’t know until we need you.” I pull the vial of concentrated, purple valerian root tincture
How interesting, Violet, that you understand that now. I recall Iron Flame being an absolute nightmare bc you couldn’t comprehend that concept.
“Remind me how you know this guy?” Bodhi whispers. “I saved his life during navigation last year,”
Oh look how nice of her to remind us for once who tf someone is.
just lifts his eyebrows and sets down his pen and parchment on the bedside table.
“Whatcha writing buddy” lmao
“Mira found a way. It involves altering the very material a rune is tempered into without destroying it.”
“Then you’re fucked, because I can’t think of a single rock or earth wielder in our history.” “I’m pretty sure it’s mostly iron,” I
Toph would say otherwise
“Then wait for them,” Sawyer argues. “I’m…I’m not good enough for something like that.”
:( I feel sad for Sawyer
“Now, I love you like a brother, and I get that you lost your leg, and we respect however you’re feeling about that, but you’re still one of us. You’re still a rider, with all the benefits and shit that come with wearing black. So with all the love in my heart, put your fucking uniform on, because we need you.”
RIDOC IS HIM. Feeling needed, will prob help Sawyer a lot tbh
“And how does the Empyrean feel about this?” I tap my fingers on my thigh, counting out the seconds.
“You have the full support of the Aretian riot. We will find out how the others feel in the morning.”
“I wasn’t sure you’d want me knocking out this particular guard.” Mira walks into the center of the chamber and tilts her head at me
OP SCATTER SCARTTER. MAYBe ACTUALLY you should’ve—Mira def knew she was up to some shite, I clocked it earlier lmao
“And you’re willing to risk the wards our mother gave her life to power to keep your word?” She lifts her eyebrow. “You’re the one who told me this can be done.”
Mira’s like, “ya got me there”
“You’re all aware that if we fail, the wards could fall? And if we succeed, there’s every chance we’ll be charged with treason and executed by dragon?” “That’s not happening,” Tairn assures me with a low growl.
A good boy
“We know the risks,” I tell Mira. “If the wards fall, then it looks like there’s a mass migration to Aretia,
Not sure we should be so flippant about it
“No, but only because I know you’ll just try again, and I might not be here to make sure it works next time. You have the best shot with both of us.”
We love this energy
“This little venture tells me you’ve been hanging out with Riorson too long,” Brennan says,
I had a feeling this mfer would be with Mira lmaooo
She’ll help you through the process. Flier—” “Maren Zina,” she corrects him.
Ok right right, shes a flier
You three”—he points at Rhi, Ridoc, and me—“don’t touch anything.”
Its giving Professor Mcgonagall, “why is it always you three"
we watch a spot on the top line of runes differentiating Navarre’s wardstone from Aretia’s bubbling outward. It’s working.
“Kind of wondering what protection we just took off,” Ridoc mumbles as Sawyer lifts his hands again, sitting to our left.
ME!!!!! GREAT QUESTION RIDOC
Brennan barks as Ridoc throws up his hands, hurtling a ball of ice toward the stone. It makes contact with a hiss, and Ridoc holds it there as steam bursts skyward, then fizzles and dies. “Maybe this wasn’t such a great idea—”
I’m not entirely certain what were doing here, is Sawyer extracting the iron or?! I guess the right question to ask is why these wards cause the fliers not to be able to use their magic…
but I’m ninety-nine percent sure the protections against dark wielders are still in place.”
Not sure about 99% lmao
I notice Baylor and Lynx covering their backs while Sloane and Avalynn lead the way, keeping Kai protected at every angle.
I simply dont think everyone needs a name in this book lmao
“You always take it, and I’ve had it!” He snatches the pen and settles back into his seat. I shoot a look at Cat’s smug face. “Don’t.” “What? I was just testing things out.”
I KINDA LOVE CAT
Aura Beinhaven retains Second Wing,
Thats a shame
and Fourth Wing will be led by Dain Aetos.” Thank gods.
I actually like Dain now personally. I will accept no Dain hate unless he’s being irritating.
“Violet Sorrengail!” Colonel Aetos shouts from the doorway, his face a mottled shade of red as his narrowed eyes search the briefing room.
lmao oopsie :)
find that favoring Zihnal has universal appeal. Everyone wants wisdom but needs luck.
Going back through and I find this offensive now.
“Dad?” Dain stands. Aetos’s head swivels toward Dain, and his mouth twists into a sneer. “I have no son.” I gasp, and hurt flashes across Dain’s face
Damn well thats fucked; whats with this guy anyway? Also I am Violet, Violet is me.
entering the room just ahead of me. “I have brought the traitor!”
What a fucking dweeb I'm deD hahahaha
“I’ve decided I’m done not knowing what you’re up to.” “Good choice.”
Literally because why was he keeping her out in the first place
“Remove yourself if you can’t be silent, Aetos.” The Duke of Calldyr leans back in his chair and runs a hand over his short blond beard. “You have no purview here.” Aetos stiffens at my side,
I’m CACKLING LMAO theyre like shut up nerd
“Do you have a plan, Violence?” Xaden asks, and though a muscle in his jaw flexes, the shadows in the room stay put. “I’m assuming so, since this patch’s seams look cleanly cut.”
DEAD
I glance to my right, then do a double take at the woman standing in the north doorway of the hall. The silver of her intricate,
who da fuq
Queen Maraya.
who dat
“But his is not the best. Mine is. I have thousands upon thousands of volumes secured in my summer home, and you are now welcome to any and all of them.
We stan Queen Maraya
“You.” Aetos recoils. “This whole time…” “Me.” Brennan nods, and I move to his side.
"if it weren't for you meddling kids…"
