Kindle Notes & Highlights
Conscription Day is always the deadliest. Maybe that’s why the sunrise is especially beautiful this morning—because I know it might be my last.
Yes. Yes I am rereading Fourth Wing for the 4th time now just because it’s available on KU. Sue me🤷🏽♀️. ..I’m also listening to the dramatized version as well as I read it so, I guess..I’m reading 5 times now.
The third turns in my direction and my heart simply…stops.
🤭♥️ uh oohhhh. I love this next part. Ugh.
He’s tall, with windblown black hair and dark brows. The line of his jaw is strong and covered by warm tawny skin and dark stubble,
The way she goes on to describe Xaden is just chef kiss. 🥰 Truly, you just read it and immediately you’re like..”Daaammnn🫠” That man know he’s fine.
and when he folds his arms across his torso, the muscles in his chest and arms ripple, moving in a way that makes me swallow.
Girl me too. 🤭
And his eyes… His eyes are the shade of gold-flecked onyx. The contrast is startling, jaw-dropping even—everything about him is.
His features are so harsh that they look carved, and yet they’re astonishingly perfect, like an artist worked a lifetime sculpting him,
Yummy.🤭♥️ just Yummy.
He’s the most exquisite man I’ve ever seen.
😛👏🏽👏🏽
Suddenly, I can’t remember exactly why Mira told me not to fuck around outside my year group.
Right. Like, whew chile..🫠
“Sorrengail?” He steps toward me, and I look up…and up. Good gods, I don’t even reach his collarbone. He’s massive.
And yet..I would still climb that tree. 😂🤷🏽♀️ 6’4 ? Yes please.
he loses his grip on the water-slick stone and falls, disappearing from view. The wind and rain steal any sound his body might make in the valley below.
RIP Dylan.💔 You tried babe. You really tried. I would’ve liked to have seen him in the Quadrant.
“Why would I waste my energy killing you when the parapet will do it for me?” A wicked smile curves his lips. “Your turn.”
I always love reading this line. Even more so now that we know more about what was going through his mind and stuff from Iron Flame.
“Jack Barlowe,” the one behind me answers. “Remember the name. I’m going to be a wingleader one day.” Even his voice reeks of arrogance.
Jack Fucking Barlowe.🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Jack steps down into the courtyard, his shoulder knocking mine as he walks by, pausing to lean in close. “You’re dead, Sorrengail, and I’m going to be the one to kill you.”
Sorry Jack. I don’t see happening in your future. (IYKYK)
If Jack wants to kill me, he needs to get in line. Besides, I have a feeling Xaden Riorson is going to beat him to it.
lol.😂 Oh sweetie… if only that were the case.
Sometime in the last year, Dain Aetos went from attractive and cute to gorgeous.
🙄..fucking Dan Aetos… ugh. Whatever…
“This place will kill you, Violet. You can’t stay here. Everyone will understand. You didn’t volunteer—not really.”
And let the annoyance that is Dain fucking Aetos begin🙄… like a part of me gets it, you’ve only know your bestfriend to be weak and fragile..but after a while bro..you gotta stop w/ the doubts. But I understand them right now. It’s the beginnings
A cadet bolts out of Third Wing, screaming as he makes a run for the stone keep behind us. We all turn to look as he sprints for the giant arched door at the center.
I would never understand why you would run at the sight of a dragon ??? Ummmmmm, helloooo💁🏽♀️..you were trying to join the Riders Quadrant in hopes of GETTING YOUR OWN DRAGON❗️ Obviously, Dragons would be around or even up close to you at some point.. WHY WOULD YOU RUN ?! What tf did you expect ??
A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead.
Love this line always.
The breeches on the first-year ahead of me darken, the color spreading down his legs. They want us scared. Mission accomplished.
lol. Gross. But at least he didn’t run. So kudos kid. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It is not this general’s opinion that the children of the rebellion’s leaders should be forced to witness their parents’ executions.
Wait a minute..wow..they hate her and yet the General vouch that they shouldn’t have been there to watch. Woooww. I completely forgot about this.
The curtain whips back and Nolon walks in, leaning heavily on his cane. He smiles at his wife, his bright white teeth contrasting his brown skin.
“Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?”
lol.🤭. Indeed she is.
He looks at me like he’s trying to see through me, and ice prickles my scalp.
Mmmm. After reading Iron Flame we know what’s happening here.. wow. We really should’ve pieced that together yall. Rebecca gave us so many clues. 🥴
“You’re not going to handle me?” I call after him, shock raising my brows. “Not tonight!” he tosses over his shoulder.
lol. I love how casual he is w/ from here on out. He’s read her intentions and now he knows wassup.
I scoff. “What are you waiting for?” “It’s no fun if you expect it,” he answers, striding into the darkness.
😂 fucking dick.
“What about the black dragon?” the first-year next to Jack asks. “There’s one here, right?” Jack’s face lights up. “I want that one.”
Tsk tsk tsk. How unfortunate for you Jacky boy🖕🏽🖕🏽
“Yes. He died trying to save your brother, but Brennan was too far gone.” “Why would he do that?”
That is a really great question tho.. why would Naolin risk himself to save Brennon ? Were they best friends ? Lovers ? Hmmm, I hope we find out in book 3.
“They choose for reasons they don’t see fit to share with us.” He pushes off his desk. “And not all strength is physical, Violet.”
He’s right. & that’s the same thing that Tairns tells Herat some point right ?? Yeah, I think it’s this book.
“Absolutely.” My stomach hits the floor. And Xaden walks onto the mat.
Love this next chapterrr.
I’m so completely screwed. Xaden steps forward—all six-foot-everything of him—dressed in midnight fighting leathers
He looking goodddd🤭. But honestly, I much prefer this chapter in Xaden’s POV. Ugh, it’s so good.
My heartbeat kicks up to a full gallop, as if my body knows the truth my mind hasn’t quite accepted yet. I’m about to have my ass kicked…or worse.
Lmaooo, you’ll be fine. 😂
“Xaden’s one of the best fighters we have. Watch and learn.” “Of course you are,” I mutter, my stomach twisting
Lmaoo, 😂. I just love how easily and how chill The professor was about a WINGLEADER sparring w/. A FIRST YEAR ?!?!? 🥴😂 Mans didn’t have a care in the world. Smh.
A corner of Xaden’s mouth rises in a smirk, and the gold flecks in his eyes seem to dance. The sadistic ass is enjoying this.
😂😂 he always loves teasing her and making her squirm. Of course by now, in his POV he notices how attracted to her he is and then he pieces together that she is also slightly attracted to him too. UGGHHH, his POV’ are the best. I literally want the whole book from his POV man.
I can make out every speck of gold in his onyx eyes, every bump and ridge of his scar. Beautiful. Fucking. Asshole.
I love that she always calls him beautifula. He described as rough and hard lines, chisel jaw and etc but also beautiful.
My breath catches and my body warms, the traitorous bitch. You are not attracted to toxic men, I remind myself, and yet, here I am, getting all attracted.
😂🤷🏽♀️ listeennnnn. When he’s done, he’s fine.🤭
“He’s holding you back. Don’t worry. Your little poisoning secret is safe with me.” Xaden arches a brow
😂❗️
Then he guides our hands back to my ribs and slides the ruby-hilted blade back into its sheath. The move is unnervingly…hot.
Girl, what I would do to have been you…UGH❗️🥴
“You’re not going to disarm me?” I challenge as he releases his grip and pushes up more, removing his weight from my body.
Wheeewww. I’m sorry. I just really love this man. 🤷🏽♀️🥴
“Nope. Defenseless women have never been my type. We’re done for today.” He stands, then walks away without another word,
🤭 periods. Good to know. 😛
And he’s not wrong. Dani is so focused on getting her out of there instead of helping her actually survive and make it through. He’s hindering instead of helping or teaching. That’s why Xaden will ALWAYS be the better choice. ♥️
“I can’t lose you, Violet,” he whispers, resting his forehead against mine. “I just…can’t.”
Again, I understand why he felt the way he did and why he was so adamant at first about her leaving and joining the scribes, I completely understand not wanting to lose her in such a gruesome way… BUT once she was set on staying in the riders Quadrant, as her best friend, he should’ve done everything he could to make sure that she makes it through her first year. Instead of constantly telling her; her faults, flaws, and fragility’s. Constantly doubting her and making her feel as if she couldn’t do it or worse that he didn’t believe in her was not the way to go. He all but shoved her into Xaden’s arms. 🤷🏽♀️
Our eyes meet, shock and terror filling her wide black eyes as the post rolls her away from me and she falls. Halfway down the cliff.
Poor Aurelie. She was not only a legacy, but she was the most excited to do the Gauntlet. & for her to die because she basically got either distracted or maybe a gust of wind from the Dragon threw her off balance..idk, but either way, it sucks.
“Aurelie Donans.” A single tear escapes and I bat it away, ripping open one of the scabs along my cheek.
And you know what, that’s Fourth Wing’s first death. Damn. 💔.
“She says,” Ridoc narrates, “inducing more fear.” “Shut up,” Luca fires back. “You know it’s true.”
We love Ridoc in this household.
“Hell yes!” Ridoc yells, hooting from the top. “That’s our girl!” “Get up!” Rhiannon shouts. “One more!”
Love theemmm. This is my crew man ! ♥️🤞🏽
Dragons never supplicate for anyone, and yet here he is, bowing to make it easier for me to climb on. It’s steep but manageable.
We love Tairn in this household. Him and all his sassy-ness. 💁🏽♀️🤭
“My name is Tairneanach, son of Murtcuideam and Fiaclanfuil, descended from the cunning Dubhmadinn line.”
When I first read, I wanna point out..I could never pronounce any of that. Not one ! 😂
“You’re making us look bad. Stop it.” I’m clasped in Tairn’s claws. He’s actually…caught me instead of finding me unworthy
“Now get in the seat and actually hold on this time, or no one is going to believe that I’ve actually chosen you,” he growls. “I still can’t believe you’ve chosen me!”
Girrlll, you won’t be the only one babe. 😂 But, I knewwww. 🤭
“I’m just…not as strong as other riders.” “I know exactly who and what you are, Violet Sorrengail.”
He said what he said ! 👏🏽👏🏽
