The book tells as very little or the war considering its some what of an end goal.

@@raveybabey_ It's called over doing your character quirk, there's literal fight scenes where people are dying and Violet is still pausing to comment on how hot this guy is
Loved the book, but my peeves were the modern references in a non-tech book. There is a part in the book where Violet says/thinks they "must have got their wires crossed." At no other point do they talk about wires, so that phrase just doesn't belong. Also...the riders falling off the dragons, who were totally okay with it...yeah. You're going to go through this whole rigorous process of training candidates and eliminating the weak, you're going to choose AND BOND with the person, and then you're just going to let them fall off before they know how to ride? I couldn't buy into that.
@wreng3213 Yes, but the two characters in the book were talking about a perceived miscommunication. The context of "must have gotten their wires crossed" does not fit with the non-tech world-building. It was out of place and too modern of a phrase.
I feel like violet not wanting to kill people only works bc she was forced to join the riders quadrant, like home girl spent her whole life wanting to be a librarian
That's interesting. I never thought of the lack of saddles as weird because they have a built in saddle and the point is to be strong enough to hold on, and free to dismount quickly qnd fight. Her saddle is an accomodation to her disability
To be fair, Mira has ZERO issues killing people and same goes for most of the other women, its just Violet that gets hung up on it, probably because she was raised as a scribe unlike Mira
Because it’s the dragons choice not peoples choice lol and it describes in the book that dragons think riders who can’t keep a seat aren’t a worthy rider but it shows in the book that Tairn accommodates to Violet and her needs which is unusual for a dragon, but Tairn cares more about her mind then her physical abilities but most other dragons care about the aggressiveness and strength hence not going to adapt to suit their rider
Except the dragons need the humans to help protect the Vale, so killing off riders willy nilly is still really short sighted and doesn't make any sense.
The language in this book is straight out of a Kardashian episode. Great story but it feels like a high school student wrote the dialogue. It is so distracting.
its almost like when she read something she was annoyed about she didn't even think about it beyond that. Dragons previously wouldn't let saddles be put on them....Also, literally she was FORCED into the war college
For me, the saddle thing feels like kind of a dragon/eugenics type thing? 😅 basically the dragons and the school (being shitty as they are) think that if you don’t have the skill or strength to fly bare back, you don’t deserve to be a rider. Which really spoke to me as someone with Violet’s condition
I personally love the book and I especially love the part that she didn't want to kill people and the reason why I love that part because if you truly think about people who go to war and most of them don't want to kill people which is why they have PTSD so at least in this book is being put out there and show that not everybody who goes to war wants to be a killer
This book it’s literally (don’t even have words) the last death of part one broke me more than anything else I’m still mourning over a fictional character 💔😭!
The girl terrified of killing and once she finally kills does the love interest always has to comfort her, it always gets on my nerves, but fourth wing is so good that i gof passed it quickly
I thought about that too but then I thought deeper and I realized that Violet's dragon protects her because she's going to be a great warrior one day and the dragon know it and maybe bcoz of this he wore the saddle and we all know the rest of the dragon hate human so yeah 😅
I'm so conflicted about this book. I flew through it but at the same time it was so full of cliches and also very unoriginal in many ways. I think it's a really enjoyable while reading but when you think about it afterwards there's just a lot of "meh" moments and quite a few things that are too similar to other books.
"I don't wanna take a life", I mean to be fair, Violet never wanted to be a rider in the first place. She wanted to be a scribe. She kinda just grew into being a rider, more or less, still may have a scribe mentality though
Yes best part of this video is when you said “ when she introduced Dian I was like Gale Hawthorne is here” I totally agree and could not stop laughing and don’t see Dian the same anymore
there may be some elements of ridiculousness in the book but who gets the last laugh? Rebecca Yarros does because the books are making millions of dollars per month right now
I'm reading it right now. And I've lost count of how many times I've shouted "Oh come on!!!" When she described dragon riders, i kept thinking, this is just Dauntless in Divergent! And allowing the children of rebels executed for treason for a failed coup, now be allowed to bond with Dragons? Yeah, because we should let the children of "traitors" have access to our most powerful weapons. That makes sense. And the book's theme distresses me. Violet didnt want to be a dragon rider. Was forced by her mom. Became bonded with not 1, but 2 dragons... good lord. So her mom was right to ignore her wishes and push her into a career path that puts her life at risk, because it allows her to dress in black?! OH COME ON!!!
You do know that they thought that they would all die right? And even if they did survive, they would still have to fight in a war, they would probably all die anyway.
@@adrianpillai6645Scribes are one of THE most important in their society. Of course they aren’t putting rebels children anywhere near the ability to rewrite history
😂😂😂 as much as I love 4wing everything in this video is accurate and hilarious! The saddle thing really had me and my coworker (both of us are neurospicy) reeling at the idea that no one else thought a saddle was a great idea 😂😂😂😂
The only reason Violet did not want to take a life is because she was trained for the scribe quadrant and not the rider’s quadrant. Her reluctance to take a life is what makes it so realistic.
Yall when she said “The high lord of the night court is here”, I died ✋🏼💀😭😂 What she mean by this sentence is that in ACOTAR (also a book series) the ml can wield shadow like Xaden. Also his name is RHYSAND✨
Uhhh with the taking a life part, violet was meant to be a scribe, scribes record and analyse battles not actually be in them, scribes are seen as weak in the book so it would make sense violet was a bit upset, the book also says she wasn’t sad she killed him she was sad that it changed her.
Erm valid points but I will say she was FORCED to join the military, she was originally a scribe so I get the not killing bit. Also saddles were a thing it's just that the dragons are too prideful and refuse to be put in a saddle. Its a point for dragons to test their riders. If they fall then they arent worthy of a dragon. Tarin only allowed it for Vio because of her condition. Totally right on the Violence thing tho XD as symbolic as it is
It’s not that saddles arnt invented it’s that the dragons believe if u can’t stay on u don’t deserve to be on. Violets dragon just made an exception for her 😊
And then also the part of them killing the the rider it's pretty much what they do in war the only difference is in military human war is that they destroy the mentally we're here they try to build them up mentally and physically and if they're not capable then they just let them die which isn't the best but being as though this is a fantasy book I understand it
What I didn't like was how everytime Xaden and Violet kept getting interrupted whenever they were "doing it" HAHA LIKE PLS LET THEM FINISH THEIR ROUNDS PLEASE!
The thing about “I don’t want to kill anyone” I get that, but she trained to be a scribe not a warrior. She ended up there, she didn’t ever want to kill. See what I mean? It makes sense someone who’s never trained for that would have an easy time killing (not that it’s easy for anyone I’m sure).
same... like WHY are you letting people kill your dragon riders for shits and giggles... you already dont have enough soldiers.... let them live for christ sake... and let the other be ground soldiers.
When it comes to her not wanting to kill people: it's not a pet peeve of mine, cause you have to remember she NEVER WANTED to be a rider and she was FORCED to become one thanks to her mom - she then worked with her situation and is learning to adapt
Okay, let me defend her..... Xaden calling her violence was kinda cute in the beginning but yeah at times it was a too much...BUT it makes sense bcz xaden keeps saying to violet that " You are going to be the death of me " and in the last chapter when he makes his confession about how he was not sure when or how he fell for violet makes it clear that she basically wrecked all his defenses Secondly riders falling of the back of dragons was the whole point of selecting the best soilders... since a dragons life depend on his riders life , the dragons really have to choose the fittest... It is literally stated in the book that dragons think the riders can't stay on dragons back are not worth bonding with....this is why they don't use a saddle And Violet fell that many times bcz she was never trained to be a rider and she lacked physical strength NOT TO MENTION that her dragon was giving her a hard time on purpose
Does no one remember that she didn’t want to go to War college? She literally spent her life training to be a scribe in a library, where it’s silent, and that her mother forced her into that way of life?!??
She had every opportunity to go to the scribe quadrant, even with a plan to go & not get kicked back to the riders quadrant. But she stayed. I think the person who posted this video has a valid point.
THE VISUAL DEMONSTRATION I'M SCREAMING
them: lacking riders
also them: killing off riders
Not ever lacking riders lacking dragons
Rebecca...hints at why this is how it is done in Iron Flame.

Omg finally someone said it! I agree with you so much on this, it was so annoying how dramatic she was about killing people
Erm valid points but I will say she was FORCED to join the military, she was originally a scribe so I get the not killing bit. Also saddles were a thing it's just that the dragons are too prideful and refuse to be put in a saddle. Its a point for dragons to test their riders. If they fall then they arent worthy of a dragon. Tarin only allowed it for Vio because of her condition. Totally right on the Violence thing tho XD as symbolic as it is
😂the falling made me laugh out loud
I haven’t even read Fourth Wing, but you falling killed me🤣🤣🤣
I hate how many times they have to mention how delicate and fragile she is
It’s not that saddles arnt invented it’s that the dragons believe if u can’t stay on u don’t deserve to be on. Violets dragon just made an exception for her 😊
gale hawthorne had me cracking up
Gale Hathorne is scary accurate for Dain 😭😭😭
And then also the part of them killing the the rider it's pretty much what they do in war the only difference is in military human war is that they destroy the mentally we're here they try to build them up mentally and physically and if they're not capable then they just let them die which isn't the best but being as though this is a fantasy book I understand it
The end got me 💀😂😂😂
What I didn't like was how everytime Xaden and Violet kept getting interrupted whenever they were "doing it" HAHA LIKE PLS LET THEM FINISH THEIR ROUNDS PLEASE!
The thing about “I don’t want to kill anyone” I get that, but she trained to be a scribe not a warrior. She ended up there, she didn’t ever want to kill. See what I mean? It makes sense someone who’s never trained for that would have an easy time killing (not that it’s easy for anyone I’m sure).
"Violence" never landed for me either.
same... like WHY are you letting people kill your dragon riders for shits and giggles... you already dont have enough soldiers.... let them live for christ sake... and let the other be ground soldiers.
the girl killing trope I mean her mom sent her there so she didnt have a choice. She wanted to b a scribe which they dont kill
THIS!!! exactly this omg
When it comes to her not wanting to kill people: it's not a pet peeve of mine, cause you have to remember she NEVER WANTED to be a rider and she was FORCED to become one thanks to her mom - she then worked with her situation and is learning to adapt
Thank you for the visual demonstration, I can't stop laughing
The way you present your case made my day 😂❤️ absolutely love your energy.
The high lord of the night court killed me 😂
Okay, let me defend her..... Xaden calling her violence was kinda cute in the beginning but yeah at times it was a too much...BUT it makes sense bcz xaden keeps saying to violet that " You are going to be the death of me " and in the last chapter when he makes his confession about how he was not sure when or how he fell for violet makes it clear that she basically wrecked all his defenses
Secondly riders falling of the back of dragons was the whole point of selecting the best soilders... since a dragons life depend on his riders life , the dragons really have to choose the fittest... It is literally stated in the book that dragons think the riders can't stay on dragons back are not worth bonding with....this is why they don't use a saddle
And Violet fell that many times bcz she was never trained to be a rider and she lacked physical strength NOT TO MENTION that her dragon was giving her a hard time on purpose
Does no one remember that she didn’t want to go to War college? She literally spent her life training to be a scribe in a library, where it’s silent, and that her mother forced her into that way of life?!??
She had every opportunity to go to the scribe quadrant, even with a plan to go & not get kicked back to the riders quadrant. But she stayed. I think the person who posted this video has a valid point.
More like 3 dozen times PER LESSON!!!!!
