Spoilers:
Iron Flame
So it begins!
I'm pretty sure i know the cliffhanger, but I'm locking it away in my mind vault so I can let the shock come “naturally.”
Part One.
Well thanks for that mini recap, I appreciate it.
Alright, if my previous dead brother who I was close to just so happened to Be Alive, I would be way less calm. Okay. Fine, she’s still recovering, but my judgemental face would have let him know I was pissed. There were go, get it girl, interrogate his ass.
Did Tairn just become my therapist, “stop bringing logic into an emotional argument”
Wait, how they fuck can they go back when they were supposed to be ambushed?
Fucking Liam. I'M STILL NOT OKAY WITH IT.
GET. IT. GIRL. (And fuck you Brennan)
Damn, poor Vi. She just survived, now has all these conflicting emotions. I don’t envy her.
Oh shit, baby girl is no longer a baby. It's emo teen Andarna !
OMG, I going to love teen Andarna.
Only Ch 3 and the tension is rising.
I have to admit, I'm holding on to that 1%, too. Not that I want a Vi-Dain relationship, but I don’t want him to be a total dick.
MF, I hate how he makes me smile. Damn shadow daddy.
Fuck. “Selective truth. Tell no lies.” That's a sobering line.
Oh shit, General Mom, out Col Let's in his place.
OMG I love this squad crew. if something happens to Rhi, Ridic, or Sawyer, I swear to Zod…..
I don't care what the rules are, I will ALWAYS SPEAK OF LIAM!!!
7 days apart? I wonder if dragons can have long-distance mind sex? If not, they are going to be feral!
Antici….pation. This is either going to be really hot or frustrating as hell.
Is it wrong that sometimes I don't read the opening quotations?
Oh great, torture class. This should be fun. Vi is screwed!
Jesus, Liam sister, That was fucking rough. Dammit, it’s too early to already tearing Up.
Oh shit! Tairn ain't playing with Solas.
Zod, I would hate to be forced to run to save my life.
Holy shit what the fuck just happened to Nadine!
Who the fuck is this guy's?
Fucking Papa Aetos.
We are barely into this book and there is already death. This is going to suck.
NOTHING BETTER HAPPEN TO RHI
A letter from X! Fucking swoon!!!!!!
Ugh, we don't get to read the letter!
I'm starting to fall for Imogen!
I get the “not a lie” complications Vi has with her friends, but I hope it's not always mentioned. Though, at the same time, I understand and have been there, so I also feel more connected to her. Now that's complicated.
Jesus Varrish. Can you be more of a dick?
Girl, if you keep putting all your emotions into a box, you gonna explode. Wait, is that a plot point later on?
Oops. I guess I should read the pre-chapter text, excerpts of X's letter.
Shit, I would have passed out on that bed instead of searching for him.
Oh great, fight club. Oh no, sweet fight club. Lol
Are you insane, of course that's a turn on. I mean, what….?
Oh shit, X, you just became top book boyfriend. Reminds me of Spike and why I love him more than Angel.
Please, please tell me Varrish gets it big time in the end.
“I unlike some people, don't feel the need to know everything someone else seems private.” Yep, I love Imogen.
Oh shit, poor Ridic. But, yeah, don't sneak up on women, 1, and def not ones who are getting attacked. Dumb ass
Mother fucker!
Fucking RSC.
This is a fucked up lesson.
This is a really fucked up lesson.
About time Rhi called Vi out for pulling away. besties always know.
Damn, we aren't going to get a lot of Vi and X in the first part of the book, are we?
Awe, I like Jesinia. But damn, I hope we can trust her.
I'm glad Liam's memory is still around.
Fuck, they really want to separate them.
Damn Imogen, you got a point. I'm with her, secrets are par of the course with a shadow daddy like X.
Is it weird I like them fighting?
And that they both are right.
And they both are wrong.
Oh shit Tairn! Going after Solas? That's not good. Problem is not solved Tairn. You fucked up.
Jesus, that was intense. But I'm glad Vi and Rhi kinda talked, finally. It did blow up, sort of.
Hahaa, Mira, “let's go throw knives at shit.” I love the women in this book.
Thank goodness they had one time together not fighting.
Ooo, Prof Devera better be part of the rebellion.
Huh, about time Dain showed up.
Fucking Dain, challenging Vi. Okay, I take it back. You need to go away. (Why do i have a gitty smile) Oh shit. Now I'm confused.
Damn, Rhi is good. And she SHOULD know, but that's also not good.
Mother Fucking Cam the Prince knows!!!
RSC training. Fuck me.
I fucking loathe Varrish.
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
Dain, you asshole!
Okay. This could go one of two way.
Dain realizes how he fucked up and makes up for it here.
He fucks them over.
Considering the text at the beginning of this chapter, it's probably 2 and I'm fucking pissed.
Thank zod it was 1.
This escape is really fucking intense and I'm scared.
Whoa.
Thank zod they got the patch, and that Dain backed the fuck off.
MOTHER FUCKING JACK BARLOWE IS ALIVE!! NOT FUCKING GOOD.
Zod dammit, not Samara. Mira better fucking be okay. Oh god. Who? No. Fuck, X.
What the actually fuck?
About time. These two…. Smdh
Tairn, the protective older brother.
OH, okay. I've seen the spoilers about a Cat. Nice to meet you? I'm assuming an ex? Yep, this is going to be interesting.
I knew she was going to be connected to the luminary in more ways than one.
Andarna need to wake up, I miss her too and want the sassy dragon back.
Take. You. Friends. To. Your. Protected. Room. And. Tell. Them. The. Truth.
Or that.
About fucking time they know the truth.
I love this group.
I don't like Vi alone.
I knew it.
I mean, this is tense, but she won't die.
OMG, is it Dain?
Oh shit Eya!
Jack fucking Barlowe!!! What the FUCK!
There's always blood on X hands. But we need Aaric, you prick.
Thank zod only 4 went, that was a shitload of people.
Oof, Tension…..
Ugh, you too long to figure that out
They better fucking have made it.
I don't like when they feel hope in these books.
I FUCKING KNEW IT!
You better hold, Vi, fucking withstand the interrogation.
Tairn better devour Varrish.
Fucking Liam!!! I can't handle this.
Dain. Don't. Be. A. Dick.
Thank fucking Zod, Dain.
Fucking Liam, i’m balling, again over him. Not. Fucking. Okay. With. His. Death.
Holy shit. That chapter. So many emotions.
Dain. Her fucking Mother. Devera.
So many emotions.
PART TWO
Oof. It's just gonna be war, isn't it. And we are going to lose people. I'm not ready for that.
Chaos, pure chaos.
THERE'S the big brother I've been waiting for.
ANDARNA!!!!!!!!
No, Andarna, not riderless.
Ha, that would sux. Run from school to…..another School.
What about Mira? What about MIRA!
yay, sassy teenage dragon!
Fuck! There she is. Please be a good Mira. Please let this be a good sibling reunion. Oh thank zod! Haha, I love Mira.
So, if I'm guessing the pre-chapter text, the descendants of the first 6 will be the end game to win this war.
Okay, so I was close. Descendents, most powerful, whatever.
These wards better fucking work, better be that easy. Ugh, fine. I guess everything can't be that easy.
Finally, good fucking teachers.
The 2 siblings breaking the rules? Let's do this!
Haha, fucking Xaden. (But totes had a fear it was Jack fucking Barlowe. Don't ask.)
Fuck me. I almost forgot about Cat.
Oof, danmmn Vi, low blow calling him Dain. But she ain't wrong.
Oh, I really hate Cat.
And I really love X.
Damn, she's going to be a parlor trick.
Mother fucking Venin!
I hate these fucking people.
Damn, that was close.
Fuck Cat. This is going to be bad.
Have to admit, I didn't think an ex love interest would be part of this plot.
I hope Maren is good.
NOT FUCKING RIDOC!!!
Can they not just deal with the death trap of the climb without adding wyvern to it!
Oof, thank goodness they made it. But fuck, this is just going to be bad from here on out.
And thank you FOR NOT KILLING RIDOC CAUSE I CAN’T HANDLE LOSING ANOTHER 4TH WING.
Doesn't it feel weird they still have to go to school when a war is going on? I get the magic runes, but math? Seriously?
I do love it when we get normal moments btw Vi and X.
Oh, these challenges are going to be interesting. I really want Vi to win, but I have a feeling…. Fucking Xaden
Damn, Cat, you fucking went THERE.
I fucking hate Cat.
“My house. My chair. My woman.” Fuck me.
Oh shit, Vi! You went THERE! Finger trick. DAMN
I kind of miss Dain. It's about time they fucking talk.
About time she has control.
What happened?
Fuck that’s not good.
I wish he would have lingered on the irony of being protected. He can't take it, but he makes Vi? Ironic
Not sure you should raise the wards, wtf, Vi?!
But why? Explain. Why do they lose the ability to channel?
That's not a reoccurring dream, that's a mind-connected dream. The Sage is fucking talking to her.
Oof, that paused conversation about wards is gonna be intense.
Fucking Solas!!
Hell yeah Andarna!! Slayer.
Oh lord. Here we go. I can't tell if I'm over all the not talking hiding shit or if it makes sense.
“stop being so scared of the answers…” damn. Harsh. But true.
Oh shit, X, a knife to her throat.
Oh shit, Xaden. Two signets?
fuck is right.
Before the fighting starts, I guess it's time i working the spoiler i know. Damn book-tok, but I think Xaden goes venin. My guess is that it has something to do with his 2nd signet. But, i’m going to guess he did it to protect all of them or Vi, cause obviously. His villain era won't last, again, bc of Vi. I also think Solane and her siphon signet will play a huge role, either at the end of this book or Onyx.
Okay, let's get this ward up.
X, are you being over dramatic?
I mean, I thought about Cat's signet, too. They would be super fucked up for them and valid for his dramatics.
Oh, yeah, that's a good one. but a shitty one for a mix mashed relationship, the doubt.
Fuck, a hundred, that's excessive.
Oh, well, that works. Yay for wards.
Oh fuck, the wards.
I wonder if Brenna goes to meet the other side? That would be a great gut punch for their mom.
And, now i’m wondering if X going Venin is more bc he “lost” Vi than it is to save her.
At least he realizes he's like, or was like, Dain.
You’ve got a point there. “A kingdom who never comes to the aid of others doesn't deserve aid”
Oh fuck, here we go, Brennan
Damn. Runes are powerful AF.
Why are we just NOW getting a combat fight between Vi and X! This is going to be good.
Well, that was a letdown, but hopefully they finally worked out all their shit.
Well, back to Basgiath.
Andarna scale color Is going to be important, isn't it.
oh shit! ANDARNA IS THE ONE COMBINED!
Hell yeah, Squad for Life!
Oh fuck, we're going to encounter Jack fucking Barlowe, aren't we?
Jack. Fucking. Barlowe.
Oh fuck, he's turning venin!!!
Shit. They all are there. That's amazing, but also so not good. (But I'm totally okay with Cat dying.)
And so it starts.
They better not die today. Not my Squad. I can not handle that.
Oh shit. What if X turns venin bc Vi dies? We've had ONE chapter in his perspective when she was mostly dead. What if that's Onyx Storm? It's his book bc she dies and he turned cause he can't live, be alive be good, without her? (But, she's not really dead and now we have to find a way to turn X back.)
They better not die today. Not my Squad. I can not handle that.
Rhi better not fucking die!
Fuck. Not Ridoc, not Sawyer, Please.
Thank you.
Wait, what the fuck just happened? Did a dragon, please don't be Baide, come out of the fucking mountain?
Oh thank zod. Andarna, you teenage rebel I love you.
THE SEVENTH IS ANDARNA!! It has to be.
Girl, this better fucking work, whatever it is you figured out.
Fuck me. Is one of the leaders of Wyvern X’s mom?
Ha!!! I knew Andarna was the key.
Well, that's one way to redeem yourself, General.
Oh Zod, Xaden. What happened?
There it is. Venin.
Jack fucking Barlowe. Why the fuck is he still alive.
Okay, so, not totally hopeless. Xaden Still has the will to be good.
Good for Violet. I mean, not happy about it, but also hopeful.
I did get spoiled, fucking book-tok, but I was also right that he did it to save/bc of Vi. He is Spike!
And Spike won Buffy in the end, and it was a happy ending. Right. That is how Buffy ended, right?
