Finished Iron Flame

[kato1313]

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros has absolutely taken over my FYP. And that means I've seen tons of theories about what's going to happen in the second Fourth Wing book, Iron Flame. I've compiled my favorite predictions...that I think might actually happen. Will Xaden and Violet make it (in their relationship...and in general)? Are we actually getting Liam back with Andarna's time power? And is General Sorrengail secretly on our side...or plotting against her own daughter? Let's discuss ;)

This book lived up to the hype...and it reminded me of one of my favorite books of ALL TIME. In this review video, we'll be going through Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, analyzing all the dragon sass, and taking a side-by-side look at Fourth Wing and Divergent...because once you see the comparisons, you can't unsee it.

I read Knife of Never Letting Go so I could watch Chaos Walking (the "Unwatchable" Tom Holland film)

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness left me shooketh - it's a hardcore dystopian that does not shy away from the tough scenes. I read the book solely because I wanted to watch Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley in the Chaos Walking movie based off Ness' book...and I was so hooked I started the Ask and the Answer IMMEDIATELY.

A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J Maas is the feel-good holiday special I didn't see coming. 

After Tower of Dawn and the Assassin's Blade, I assumed this would have a crazy impact on the overall story. 

While I'm not sure this novella did that, it DID point out to me that I clearly missed something in the Cassian and Nesta plotline...and it's driving me crazy.

The Toll Review is alive and thrivin’ baybeh! 

The Toll by Neal Shusterman is filled with absolute insanity that ties together SO WELL. I loved this book, and the Scythe Trilogy as a whole. HOWEVER, I do believe that Tyger deserved better, which I will discuss at length in this video, along with the ingenious religious parallels Neal Shusterman sneaks into The Toll.

I’m gonna just... put this here for later...

i’ve been doing my homework on how to break into a writing career and honestly. there’s a Lot that i didn’t know about thats critical to a writing career in this day and age, and on the one hand, its understandable because we’re experiencing a massive cultural shift, but on the other hand, writers who do not have formal training in school or don’t have the connections to learn more via social osmosis end up extremely out of loop and working at a disadvantage.
