Fourth Wing Reread Commentary part 1 (I assume)
I did this with the SJM books with some success. Why not do it with my Fourth Wing reread?
-First, I love that it's all 20 year olds, it's a COLLEGE. For once the fate of the world doesn't rest on a 16 year old. Though their frontal lobes are still not fully developed.
- I love Mira.
-I feel like something is suss about the dad. His heart just gave out? Really? Are we sure? "His chest pains started right after Brennan's death" OH REALLY?
-18 inches wide isn't terribly small but it isn’t comfortable either. I wonder if you'd get in trouble if you crawled across the parapet because that seems smart to me.
-Mira: don't seek friendship. Forge alliances!
Violet: Friends!
Mira: Stay away from Xaden Riorson
Violet: ....😘
-Rhiannon is so cool
-Oh, Dylan
-Is that Jack fucking Barlowe?
-"I'm not dying" Oh, Dylan.
-Boot trading. They are such cute besties already
- "he's the most exquisite man I've ever seen." XADEN BABY!!
-ohhhhhhh Dylan
-Now, I know there's a theory that General Sorrengail called up the rain. I cannot remember if it was true or if it was just a theory. If so, did she do it to make sure there was less competition for Violet or for Violet to fall? I can't remember.
- it IS Jack fucking Barlowe, that fuck face
-I love that Violet's calming mechanism is reciting facts and those facts are basically an info dump about the world. Love, love, love it.
-Jack fucking Barlowe is a goddamn sociopath. I can’t wait til he dies later. But then he comes back. Does he die permanently? I hope so. I can't stand this asshole.
-Dain. Another asshole. I know he gets better later. And he's a hottie but ugh Dain.
-"I have exactly two shades when it comes to the sun, pale and burned." SAME
- what up, Ridoc!
-Ridoc punched a girl in sparring and immediately apologized. Pure of heart, dumb of ass.
-Jack fucking Barlowe just snapped a guy's neck. Can they not expel him/execute him? You're not supposed to kill people in your squad!
-ooooooh he just used his secret second signet on her
-Violet the serial poisoner is hilarious. I feel like she maybe should have let one person win so she didn't build up a good reputation and attract attention, like 50/50.
-The Gauntlet aka Wipeout on steroids.
- "I'm too short to span the distance!" Same. Shorty squad unite.
- last month I was in a reading slump. Had to force myself to read at least an hour a day. Today I have burned through 150 pages with absolute ease. And when I first read it, I devoured the whole thing in under 24 hours. It's a good feeling.
-THRESHING TIME!!!
-Jack fucking Barlowe, a sociopath AND a coward.
-TAIRN!!!!!!!
-oh, God, I LOVE Tairn's sarcasm
-"I know exactly who and what you are, Violet Sorrengail." He's so cool!
-Andarna just spoke, oh it's so good!!! TWO dragons, take that General Sorrengail, you judgey bitch.
-I've been thinking the new Empyrean book that ISN'T the fourth book is either the Book of Brennan or the Codex. But it would be cool if it was Colonel Kaori's Field Guide to Dragonkind
-Dain is such a rule loving asshole.
-her relic is soooo beautiful
-it's weird that unbonded try to kill bonded, what makes you think a dragon will pick you if you kill its rider? I would think the dragon would be more likely to kill you in retaliation. I get WANTING a dragon, I really do but...it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
-Oh! The book could be The Fables of the Barrens!!
-Yes, Violet!!!! Tell Dain off!!!!
-Andarna freezing time like a tiny badass!!!
-God, Dain, shut up and believe your "best friend"
Stay tuned for part 2
