  Speaker 1: I know we did ten chapters, as you guys know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that's you know us. Now we've spoken quite a bit
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: about chapters and how many we should we should do
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: A Katar hindsight probably could have done nearly twenty chapters
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: per episode. This has to be ten.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: There's a lot.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of pages.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: For I think it was one hundred and forty four.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I also counted because I was like, what am
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I getting myself into? Yes, because I always look at
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: how chapters in a book, and I was like, there's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: thirty nine chapters in this whole book. There's like four
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: episodes for this for this first book. How long are
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: these chapters.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I was in the mindset of The Housemaid. I was
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: leaving it till the weekend then reading it, and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: got there and I was like, fuck.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I read I think one or two chapters on Saturday
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: because I have been reading my other series trying to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: get it done because I'm fucking it's got me. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so on Saturday night I read two chapters and I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: was like, oh shit, Sunday, I had to I just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: had to smash it all out yesterday.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It was a lot.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was good. And all I'm going to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: say before we get into it is I think I'm
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: gonna love it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yah, same think I'm doing. I love dragons, dude,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I love dragons. I love dragons onie.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I'm picturing how to train your dragons in your head,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: but like sexy.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, the dragons I'm picturing, ah, not as big, but
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the same isle Game of Thrones.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Oh. My next judgment was the Hobbit, the one.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking it but not I'm not thinking that big though.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: What about the black dragon? That's huge? Yea, yes, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: some of them are big, some of them are not
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that Yeah. Yeah, it's an interesting concept. I want to say.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It's more playful than Akata feeling a little more yes,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and a lot more happens, a lot quicker seems to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: be Rebecca Yarris, but Sarah j Mass fucking boring, boring, boring.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, yeah, this is just like hopefully
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: because you're right, I feel like it's we've been on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a steady up rise. Whereas says j Mass was like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you go this book, you go this flat line last time,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: sending the.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Book all the way out, and I'll tell you what
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I missed. It is just the little side comments about
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: how sexy everyone is.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We have been deprived of that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: The housemaid we're smutty boys.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: We are, I mean to be fair, merely did say
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: some stuff about mister Winchester that was.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Mill I would call us vanilla smutts.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, so baddies, I know you've been waiting for this.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We are going to get right into it, all right.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: What we're going to do is because we know everyone's
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: read it and or just listening because they've read it,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: are reading it with us, they're doing a reread, we're
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna be different to the Akatar style. We're
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: going to do characters. We're gonna go quick summary of
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the characters, quick recap, and then we're going to get
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: into how we feel. All right, So characters quickly. Also,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: if you're not reading the book, this is also for you, okay.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Character number one, we have Violet Sorongale.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And thisial thoughts my girl.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, but okay, I have I like her,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: but I also her slightly annoying.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Really, I haven't feel annoying at all.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: The way I feel about Violet is kind of how
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I felt about Favor, but for opposite reasons. If that
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: makes any sense at all.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: The only sense it makes to me is I've had
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: trouble because when newbie readers disconnecting from Akatar and now
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: thinking of it as its own thing. Yeah, yeah, yah, yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: It's like when I started, I was thinking, oh yeah,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be the same thing. It's a whole
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: new world, it's whole new book. There's no connection. And
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I'm still thinking of fucking far and recent I haven't
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: said fairfairfare.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So we've got Violet. She is smart, all right, she
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was raised to be a scribe. There's all these different
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: types of things. She is small, fragile, but she is. Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I don't have a picture deep yet, picture my head
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: thrown into the deep end. Sorry, I'm picturing Farrah actually,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: because of all the ai things have seen a Favor.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But don't come at me, all right, it's just how
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my brain works. Okay, we have General Lilith sawing gay
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: or violets mother. Bitch, b yeah, bitch, I'm getting redhead vibes. Yes,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying dark hair, dark silva at the end
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: because we've been told now I'm getting so Lilith is
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: just like strict. She's the general of armies. She's like
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: second in command of all armies, and she's a beast,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and she is bonded to a dragon that is quite
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a special dragon that's given her special magic. Right, she
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is bonded to a blue dragon. So she's bonded to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a blue dragon, and the magic it has siphoned through her
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: is she can wield weather. It's so cool.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: It's giving like divergent on steroids.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, divergent mixed with magic. Yeah, we got mirror or Myra.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: What are you saying? I said, mirror, mirror same. Mira
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Soringel is violet oldest sister. She has come and gone
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: through the Dragon Writer's school that we're about to find
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: out about, and she advocates for Violet. She's just a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: beat and a weapon. She's like also very well known
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: throughout the armies. It is just a beast. We have Zayden.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: How Reawson been said saying, Zayden, look at the next one.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: As is a sexy motherfucking shadow daddy. All right, now,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Zayden is bonded. He's a third year at school. It's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: third and final year. By the way, he is bonded
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to Scale. It's a gene, not a c but it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: like hard to say scale scale and blue dragon Scale
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is like the fucking third best dragon in all the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: worlds or some ship. And his magic that he has
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is wielding shadows.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So cool. Okay, I feel like wielding show shadows is
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: open to interpretation of what it could mean.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Zayden is the son of a deserter or or a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: betrayer or whatever. A couple of years ago, a bunch
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of parents tried to overthrow Baskia or or just like
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the continent and General Lilith Sarengail. Violet's mother killed them all,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and so all of these kids, they are like the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: marked ones. They have they have it out for Violet. Okay.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: We have Dane Atos. Dane Atos is a pussy dude.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I kind of like him.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I hate Dane I kind of like him. Dane pieces
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: me off he's just out here trying to make decisions
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: for Violet without even talking to her. And so then
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: when he does talk to her, she says nah, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: he groggles about it and makes a decision for her.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Again crazy, I'm not even gonna fuck it. Yeah, just overprotective.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Rhannon is a friend of Violet. She's a beast, always
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: been training for the Dragon School. Jack Barlow fucking dickhead bro.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He's gonna keep us to kill Violet. Liam is Zayden's cousin,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: also a child of one of the deserters, and he
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: he kind of just seems like a mad dog. Not
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: gonna lie a little bit. I think it's a second year,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a bit elusive. We've got Imagen. Imagen is also a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: deserter and just she just beasts, right. We don't hear
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: too much from her. There's a yeah, that is the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: kind of the main characters when need to talk.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: About there was quite a lot of characters to grasp
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in the first ten chapters.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot more, but like you guys, you
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: guys know who they are.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: It makes me look more forward to reading because I'm like,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I need to understand it's better.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Okay, that it is going to do a
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: recap time of the first ten chapters. Now, in the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: world of Fourth Wing, there is a war college called Baskiath.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Is that how you're saying that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Was a great pronounciation. Yeah, you don't ask me how
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to pronounce things.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: But are you you're listening to reading?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I'm doing both, okay, the dramatized audio. I didn't want
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to look it up on one of the baddies to comment,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: is it a lot of the same actors?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Apparently it is? Apparently yeah, apparently or apparently I saw
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a comment. Apparently Zayden's voice is going to be very familiar.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It's Baron's son. What's his name?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Is it Ris?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Is it actually it's you?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: That's so annoying.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I think it's erras you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: That's kind of annoying.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: That's the only one I've clocked on who's who? Because
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to look it up. I'm like, I'm
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: not figured this out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: That's kind of annoying. Yeah, I thought it was going
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to be Reese.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: No, I thought, but also they probably like casted it differently.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I would have copped Reese, but also actually, also, you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: know who, I would have copped as Zaiden is as real.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So because it's the company that does the dramatized audios,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: like the dramatized audio production, they just have like fucking
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: a rotation. Okay, so annoying the chapters though, confused.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So Baskiath is a war college, Okay. Now, in this
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: war college, you can train to be one of four things.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: You can be a healer, a scribe in the infantry,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: or you can be a dragon writer. Now all the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: other four apart the other three apart from dragon writers
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: chilling kind of just running the mill safe. Dragon writer.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You'll put your life on the line, but you're doing
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: it for glory worth it, Okay, doing it for fucking
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: glorious you all right? We would you be?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I don't blame Violet one, but I'd be a fucking
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: dragon writer, of course, dude. Been anything healer is all right?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Actually, Okay, I have a thing about that. I have
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: this thing in my head that I think scribes would pull.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: But I reckon, Well, they're the intellectuals, you know, Like
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: when you go to like a place and someone's wearing
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a vest and like two nicks. Yeah, yeah, that's who
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a scribe is. I don't have the potential to be ascribe.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, being a fucking writer sounds sick, dude. So anyway,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Violet wants to be a scribe. But six months before
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the conscription is her mother is like, you're being a writer.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: All sorrowing girls are writers, all right. She's like, dad
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: was ascribe. She's like, well your dad's dead, right, So
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: she has no choice. Mirror, her sister advocates, fights with her,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: mum please, but nothing's changing her mind. You can already
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: tell that Violet Semi is okay with this and is like,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I kind of want to be a mad dog.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I want to be She wants it bit before it
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: because she was trying to be ascribed. She came to
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: terms with her body. Yeah, and she's like, I'm not
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: built to be a dragon writer.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, remember fragile. So on the day of conscription. On conscription,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you go and you choose a door of one of
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the four things. Now she has to go to Dragon one.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Once you go in to the dragon Writer's thing, you
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: cannot talk to your family ever again for the three
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: years you're the three years you're there, actually basically now
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to get in, there's this parapet wall that you have
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to walk across that's eighteen inches wide and I don't
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: know how long, but you have to walk over this
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: massive two hundred foot drop into a river and like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: cliffs and shit, and they just send you along one
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: by one by one by one by one, And on average,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent of the first years that walk across the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: cadets die on the parapet walk crazy. Basically, all the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: dragon Rider part of it is like, if you want
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to be a dragon rid, your whole three years of
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: schooling is weeding out the weaklings, all right. Violet's like,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna die here. But also I will not let
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that happen. So her sister gives us some advice and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: she's like, don't make friends, make alliances. Whatever. First thing
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: she does in line waiting for the parapet wars makes
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a friend. So she's walking across. She's getting there, her
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: friend in front of her is going makes it across violets.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Halfway across, there's a guy behind her, Jack fucking Barlow.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He's like, Violet, I'm gonna fucking kill you. It's always
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a Jack, all right, I'm going to fucking kill you.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: He turns around. A cadet behind him is walking up
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: grabs his kidet by the fucking head throws him off
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the wall. Violet's like this guy means business. Dude. Scared
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Now she starts running because he starts running, She's like slipping,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: nearly dying and shit. She makes it to the end. Finally, pause,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Oh yeah, sorry guys. Before she
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: walks onto the wall, she runs into Zayden, who she's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: told by her sister to stay the fuck away from
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: because he will kill her because she is Lilith's daughter
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: who killed his parents. Now she sees him before she
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: knows it, Zayden. She's like, wow, sexiest man alive. Comes up.

  Speaker 1: There's two other like third year kidets there taking names,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: getting makes sure like taking the tally of the dead.
• 14:51

  Speaker 1: Weird dude, and the two third years that have taken
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: tallies when they come back off are like, you know,

• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Do what you want. She could kill him, she doesn't,

  Speaker 1: on the mats is they fight another student. Day one,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: his assessment to see how much of a pussy you are.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: She gets up there and she's got a fight. Who
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: does she fight a girl? Oh yeah, that's right. So
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: she gets up there. If you're a first year, you
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: can be paired with a third year. And so these
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: surgeries just whack the first years because they've all had
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: training for a couple of years. She gets up there,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: imaging gets caught up Imagen, another one of these fucking
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: marked ones whose parents were killed by Lilith Soreingeale. Now
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: everyone's making this violence problem. Everyone has it out for Violet. Violet.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: She's like, fucking come at me. Then like Violet's confident.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I fucking love her. She's a beast dude. She goes,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you know what, I get it. I'm small. I don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: give a fuck. Yeah my mom caulled your parents, Come
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: do something about it. Imagen breaks her arms.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah I did chuck a bro.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: It just breaks her arm. So she gets rushed to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the Heeler's place like this Heelers quadrant or whatever, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Danes like takes her there and because Dane is her
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: squad leader and bro, She's like, give me some fucking
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: shit for this pain. A nurse gives her this like
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: drug for the pain, and Dane's going The nurse goes
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: get Nolan. Nolan is a very rare dragon rider who
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: has been given the ability by his dragon to mend.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: If you're a mender, you can turn anything that's broken
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: back to the way it was. A ripped page fixed,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a ripped shirt, fixed, a broken bone fixed, painful, but fixed.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: He's been mending Violet for years. She's fucking a sick
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: little bugger. She was like born with the flu or
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: some shit. So Dane goes, don't get the menda. Violet's like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: oh the fuck. He's like, if you heal her, she's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: gonna come back. She's gonna keep on being a target
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and she's gonna die. Don't heal her because she'll need
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: six months to recover from this. Get her in the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: squad quadron. She's drunk off this drug for the pain,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and she's like fuck off. Dane like fuck off. No
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: one comes in. He goes, what are you talking. I'm
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: not gonna just leave it like this. Heals her, right,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: She's pissed it Dane. She comes back, she's.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Still in a sling button.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: She yeah, she has a sling. She's in pain and shit.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: They didn't even not heal her completely, so like there
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: was still a little bit of Dan's I don't.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Know, I think he like heals that completely, but he
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: says it's still hurts. Yeah, yeah, Okay, that's just how
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: it works. So she goes back to her bunk with
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all the first years. They'll have to like share dorms
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and shit with all the other girls. And there's a
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: note on her bed from her sister who snuck it in,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and her sister's left her a note saying that you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: got this. I saw you alive. I read I read
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the reports and shit, and I just wanted to give
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: you a note that Brennan forgot to mention. Brennan Violet's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: older brother, the firstborn of the Sorong Girl family. Wicked motherfucker.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: He was a menda, probably gonna be the best in
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the worlds dead, all right, Zayden's far other killed him. Cool.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I don't like the name Brendan Brennan. I'm not a
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: big fan.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: It's been a struggle for me to get over because
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: he's he'll just Pitchen as a legend.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: D yeah, and so she go Mirror, but.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Her mum said, like everyone's a dragon writer or whatever.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And then the brother was a healer, but he's dragon
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: writer still, yeah, that is a heeler, still a dragon rin.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The only people with magic are dragon writers and
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: his dragon there, so he was still he's still a
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: dragon writer, but his magic is killed men men, and
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: so they used him in the heelers like dragon writers
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: used everywhere. Okay, so she's like shit, chair Mirror gives
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: her a letter that Brennan gave her, so she gives
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a Violet and Violet reads it and then she's like oh,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: and then there's this journal and Brennan's given an entire
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: book to Mirror. He's passed it down to Violet of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: how to get through fucking dry Dragon College. And so
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: one of the things he says is the mats. Every
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: two weeks you will have assessment or challenge or whatever.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: So you train mats every day and train, but then
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: every two weeks you have to fight some and if
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you win, you get to take their knife. Cool here's
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: where the teachers meet to talk about the week before,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: who's gonna fight who based off of these skills we
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: need to see. So she whittles that she figures out
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: every time who she's gonna fight. Over the next four weeks,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: she gets to find out who she's fighting. So what
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: she does, because she's a fucking genius and was trained
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to be ascribed, sneaks out after curfew and she goes
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: and she'll get like mushrooms, berries or whatever, and they're
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: all poisonous. And then she fucking volunteers in the breakfast
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: room or whatever to cook everyone's breakfast. And then because
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: she knows the day of the fighting, she knows who
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: she's gonna be challenged or who she's challenging. Whenever she
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: feeds them breakfast, she'll sprinkle mushrooms or something on top
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of them. So she lays she poisons all these motherfuckers.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: And once it gets to Matt and challenge, she goes
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to fight them. They'll get a couple good hits in
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and then they just fucked. And then she whacks them
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: up and steals their knife. Fucking cheeky, And I was like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: this is cheeky, little devil dude, but I was.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Thinking, like, surely people like what's going on here? This
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: small little girl's like just fucking everyone, Yeah, she must
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: be a weapon.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And don't and we find out, right. So one of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the nights she's out sneaking around trying to find some berries.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: She sees this group of people coming and they're under
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: her tree. She's in a tree getting some berries, right,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and there's a group of twenty four fucking people, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: she's like, they're all the marked ones, Zaden, his cousin, Imogen,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: other people, And she's like, fuck, what the hell. They're
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: only allowed to be in groups of three or else
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: it's considered treason and they'll all get put to death. Like,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: if you're a marked one because your parent was a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: fucking trees and a trader, you're only allowed to be
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: with two other marked ones at once, so you can't
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: plot and scheme. If you're caught with four, you all
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: get killed. Cutthroat rule too insane. So she is eavesdropping
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: on this meeting and she's like talking and basically all
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: this meaning is is the third years that are marked ones,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Zayden and a couple others helping the first years. They're
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: like what do you need help with? Like, they don't
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: want them to die, and so she's like, well, I'm
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: not going to tell on them for this, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to fucking wrap them out because it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: actually quite honorable. And she's like fuck this satan tude
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: though she just like fucking but I love him type
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: shit this whole time. So they leave. She's scared shitless
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: because he does say he wants to kill her, right,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: leave her, Jack Barlow, she got images, she got fucking
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Zaiden and everyone's trying to kill her. She thinks they're gone.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: She counts to five hundred, she leaves. This motherfucker is
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: shadow mother fucking daddy. All right, Zayden.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: This is where we found out we didn't know what.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: No, we didn't actually know yet, but yeah, Zayden slips
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: out of the shadows. It's doing. She's like, oh, I
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: don't know what. Really. They chat a bit and she's like,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: what were you doing?
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: He's a mad chill about her being caught, so chill.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: She just nons a lot the whole time. So she's like,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell it.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Kisses her off. So she's like, are you gonna kill
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: me or what he's like, I don't know, see what happens.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I reckon he likes her secretly, yeah, because she's like
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: hot obviously.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll see what happens. I don't know. She's like,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you arrogant ass, Just fucking tell me, dude. And so
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: he starts saying, like, you know that Jack Barlow kid,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: if you weren't such a pussy and just took it
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: all the time and maybe you know, gave him a
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: little bit of a show, he'd back off a bit.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: He'd be a bit scared er, like, you know, a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: bit off more than he can chew. She gets her
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: knives out or whatever, and she's like, you know what,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: fuck you And he's like, ooh, you got some violence
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: in you. You're a bit violent, aren't you. You're a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: little bit violent, bro. He goes come at me. She's like,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I could just fucking throw these at you. You know.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: He backs into the tree, right, shadows just wafting around him.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: She rips one into him, shadow catches it, a shadow,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: just flucks it out of the thin air.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Brow all my days.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And that's what he's like, you know, you fucking do
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that with Jack Barlow. See what he does next? It's
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: like you fucking hell. Okay. Now there's a couple more
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: moments where Dane is like trying to get her into
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: the scribes unit or whatever, and she's like, Dane, fuck off.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: He means well, but he means well, but also fuck
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: She's made her choice, dude.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: He's trying to protect the love of his life. I'm
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: dying fucking hell.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: What's he gonna be like as like a husband's. And
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: so she spends the next couple of weeks. You know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: she knows who she's fighting poisoning. All her friends are beasts.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: They've been training for dragon school at all times. She
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: goes out one day and there's this thing called threshing.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Threshing is when a dragon chooses you, and it may
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: not choose you, it may choose you whatever.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Giving avatar.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: It's giving agatar right now, akittar, no avatar. We've got
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: black dragons, blue dragons, red dragons, green dragons, orange dragons. Right,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: black dragons. Two, there's two in all the world. Number
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: one is the top top general above Violet's mother. And
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: the magic that that dragon has given the general Melgren
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: is he can foresee the outcome of a battle. The
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: other Black Dragon Riderless hasn't bonded in years. The Blue

• 27:59
  Speaker 1: two options. You're allowed to come in and collect their

  Speaker 1: belongings and burn them, will make a burial, or the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: school does it and you don't have to worry about it.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Her parents chose to not do anything about it. Let
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: school do it. So Violet said, I'll do it. She
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: takes her friend's shit to the incinerator and she's like okay.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: She chucks it over and then in the distance she
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: sees three dragons, doesn't think anything of it, walks down
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and then she's like, looking out, there's the door to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: go out to the gauntlet. She's about to walk to class.

  Speaker 2: I'm enjoying it too. I don't think it's the right
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: way to describe it, but I feel like this one
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: is much more like adventurous. It's giving the hobbit. There's
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: more like I don't know, boyish in quotes type stuff
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: going on, as well as the sexy side of things. Yeah,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: slightly more to acata, which I'm really enjoying. Yeah, yah, yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'm getting blurred vision because of
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the dragons. It's all I'm serious.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm loving it too. I'm I'm still wrapping
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: my head around the whole concept, so I can only
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: another ten chapters.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I I've got this concept down. Pat. Here is my
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: thoughts and feelings. Okay, I think that I really enjoy
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: where the obvious character plots and and and plot lines lie.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Like Rhianna and Her who's quite
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: a good friend of hers, like is just a beast.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: We're gonna fall in love with Rhianna, and she's gonna
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: be at violets. She's always gonna have violets back. She's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: just she's gonna be She's gonna bond to a dragon.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be like a sick fucking power she gets.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: We got Dane always going to be annoying and over protective,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: always do you reckon.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: They're gonna like have sex and then realize there's no
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: connection there. But no, really, because Zaydan's daddy isn't.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: He zayden Is daddy is But that's what everyone.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Says, like daddy, Like he's the brief of this book.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel they might have sex Dane.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: No, Yeah, Dane and Violet, I.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Don't see it because she talks so often about he's
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: so he's such a stickler for the rules, like she
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: won't she didn't tell him about Zayden's meeting with the
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: First Years where there was like twenty four of them
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a group, because he would want one hundred percent go
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: to his dad, who is, like Lewis sowing girls most
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: trust in general.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: But do you know how sometimes you need to like
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: do something to realize that's not what you want. Because
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: on paper, Dane's everything anyone would ever want. But he's
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: fucking boring, whereas Zayden everything no one wants.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, about Dane, he's a red flag about Dane, right
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: is like he is the type of guy that's like
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: going to tell you that he knows what's best for you.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't reckon she can. I know it's
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I know it's a problem. I don't, Reckon. Let can't
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: see that yet, do you, Reckon?
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: She can starting to see you, Reckon, She's demnly starting
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to because.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: They're like best friends and I know him forever. She's
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: always defending him.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Uh, Mirror won't see her again Forrages. Lilith probably
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: won't see her again for Prages Violet obviously, like she's
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: so scared about not bonding with the dragon at Threshing,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Obviously he is gonna bond.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I think they've already bred crumbed in a sense
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: of Within those chapters, there was something about her being
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: worried that dragons wouldn't want her because she's weak. And
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: then someone says a comment like.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: One of the teachers, yeah, and it's like, you're fucking
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the smartest person in here.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: And then that black Dragon hasn't bonded with anyone. She's
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: obviously gonna get the Black Dragon. That's what I'm thinking, Yeah,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: if she has too, Like that was breadcrumbs straight up
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: so um. But other than that, Okay, here's what I
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: want to know is, like, do you find it annoying
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: that they introduced Zayden so quickly? Why annoying?
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because like within the first couple pages,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: we're introduced to a few characters, slightest Chinese pit of backstory,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and then it's like, oh, and by the way, Zayden
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: is an absolute beast. He could kill you with the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: blink of an eye, like stay the hell away from him.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: And then you know you're at the start of the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: parapet and you just bump into him.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I thought there could have been some better world building
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: in a sense of like are you meant to because
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I saw that at the start, as there's two maps
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: and I tried to study them, but I was also like,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: what am I meant to do with this? Like I
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: prefer it to be in the first like couple of
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: paragraphs or chapters, whereas like they kind of just chuck
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you straight into the dragon college. But I think that's
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: that's a me right, not.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Like a fucking and that's the whole point, I suppose.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: But all right, what are we feeling about Dane?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I know you could go go on bout Dane Dane,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: so I know he's toxic, but also he has in
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: his head he's doing the right thing, but he is
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: coming across his controlling But I think he has a
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: good heart and that will shine fruit. And I think
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Violet is going to break.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: His heart, yeah yeah, but like is she going to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: break his heart or is he breaking his own heart?
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Like she talks so often about how much she likes him,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: but at this point they're still friends and yeah, they're
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: still friends in quotes, and that also he won't cross
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: that line because how much of a sticker for the
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: rules he is Yeah yeah, yeah, and he needs to
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: be professional and shit, and like he's trying to guilt
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: tripp her and everything. Yeah, you know, I don't get
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to save you a threat.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: I think what's happening is Dane being that way is
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: pushing her towards red flags aiden.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but also like think about this, is Zayden giving
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: any red flags? Like genuinely apart from the fact that
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: he's just like tweying about killing with her, But think
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: about it, like.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: He's other than about killing her.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Zayden is like giving her better advice than Dane. Yeah.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Would I think at one point Dane's gonna come to
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: terms with that she's going to be a Dragon writer, yeah,
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: but he still hasn't accepted it, Whereas Zayden wants her
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: to die so it's like, oh, yeah, I'm happy to here.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: He like does want it to die, but also clearly
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: does Well, they're going to fuck at.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: One point, I reckon they're gonna get in another fight
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: or something, pinn her down, and she's gonna be like,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm so angry, but also I'm so
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: wet like something like that, and then he's going to
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: be like, oh shit, you're hot. Yeah, Like there's gonna
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: be a slight little comment like.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: That, like, okay, right, here's the thing. I don't know
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the ins and outs of the first two books, but
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: what I do know is the spoilers.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Oh you do too. Wait, that's why you understand the
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: world so quickly too.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, maybe I understand a bit better because I've
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: heard so because I forgot about that. I don't know
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: anything about the third book, but I know things about
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the first two books, so I know. Yeah, like, I
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: know things, and I'm not gonna so I can be blind.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: You get to be blind. I'm not going to spoil
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: anything for you, okay, but.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I will say that's a good dynamic.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: In this first ten chapters, I do I have learned
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: a lot, a lot that I didn't know.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, I feel like she's and geez, you've said
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: before they leave out all the world building and like
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: all the detail.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I tried to do that with this.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: It's kind of just vibes.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: So I don't think I can give predictions at all. No,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: let me shoot in the dark. I will maybe not
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: even react to your predictions. Oh shit, you're not gonna
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna predict any of them.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I'm actually struggling to think of predictions in a sense
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: of it's so open. Yeah, like my immediate prediction is, well,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: wait to say, can I confirm a prediction you've said?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: But it spoils that prediction, but also doesen't okay? Can
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I am? I right? You're right about something?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, here you go.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Violet bonds with the Black Dragon, fucking if I'm now
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing is because I remember just like the
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: big moments from listening to it to shits and gigs. Yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: The thing about that is it spoils that for you, right,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: so you know, but you knew that was gonna happen
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: because it kind of does seem obvious. But yeah, another
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: crazy fucking thing happens and I don't know when. So
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: it will be a surprise to me when it happens
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: to Okay.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Another crazy thing happens. Interesting, Okay, I'm saying where I'm
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: trying to go with My predictions are normally like my
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: god a storyline, sexy dragons, violet story arc of developing
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: and becoming a beast. Obviously that happens. And then there's
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: day what do you think?
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: So we've got the people at Basquiat and like that
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: whole continent in Baskarch they have, like other regions send
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: kids to this school. And then the reason that they
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: do it is because they're all training for this war
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: that's been going on for one hundred years, and the
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: war is with the Griffin Riders. And the Griffin Riders
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: they have some magic, not as powerful as dragons magic,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: but they have this war going on with them. And
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: then also there's these things called like the wy Urn
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: or some shit they've like introduced these other What do
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: you think is gonna happen there? Because I actually don't
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: know what happens there?
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: They're all training for the What was the comment with
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: was thedn't the type of dragon or someone just make
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: him win the war last time they battled or some shit.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: What was that comment? I feel like that was important.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: They said something. Think that happened, didn't they say something
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: like that?
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: They say they went about the black dragon right.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: When the professor was doing a debrief on all the dragons.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he would go so last time they were talking
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: about all the dragons, they were talking about the blue
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: ones and then the other ones. And then Jack Barlo's like,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: is there any other ones? And he goes, there is.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: There's one more species and it's the black dragons. But
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: none of them are bonding this year. They haven't. Like
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: the dragons will let you know when they want to bond.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: He said, there's one black dragon right, like the most
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: powerful of war. He is bonded to Melgren. Like I said,
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the magic he gave Melgren, General Melgren is the ability
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: to see for sea battles. The other one, I don't
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: believe they name him or her. I don't. I think
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: it's a hymn that I don't believe they name him.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: But he is a beast of a dragon. Last time
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: he was bonded was with a guy, and the power
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: that he gave this guy was the power of like channeling,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: so he could either absorb energy and use it to kill,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: or he could absorb energy and use it to like fix.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And what happened was in a battle, someone died. This
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: guy that was bonded with this Black Dragon was using
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: his channeling and energy to try and bring him back
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: to life, but that is not possible, and so what
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: happens was he depleted all of his energy and he
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: died in the process. So they both died. So therefore
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the Black Dragon is riderless and he survived, but the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: rider died and so they like they were like, yeah,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. The person he was trying to
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: revive Brennan, Yeah, didn't happen, died.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: And within that dragon deprief the one being vocal at
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: the time and was like, what's the biggest dragon?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: That was Jack A Jack Barlow the fucker.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: So I reckon, I'll go to the only thing I
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: reckon I can predict or try to predict in a
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: sense of like storyline is the bonding day. Yeah, because
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: she's going to get the Black Dragon, we know, But
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I reckon. So Jack's gonna go first or some shit
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: and try and get the Black Dragon like something. He's
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: going to get flinged off and he's going to become
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: one of those people who doesn't bond that really he's
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: going to get written now because's boring and jarring and annoying,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: and he's so vocal for some reason, and he thinks
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: he's the top dog, and then everyone's going to go
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: about their things. She's I was going to stay back
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: and just watch everything, and she's going to have some
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: master plan and I don't do you, Reckon? She does
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it all on her own? Or like, does someone help her?
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Because she's got all these little tricks of the trade
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: from a brother, from a sister.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: She won't. She won't tell him. Zayden knows about them.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: When he fucks her up on the mats, He's like,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: if you keep on poisoning all your challenges, not gonna
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: get any stronger. She's like, oh fuck, you know.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Do you Reckon? He helps her with the Black Dragon.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like she's got a little trick that like
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: hacks the system to be able to write it.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know why she gets a black dragon. That'll
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: be news to me, I reckon. I think that it
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: just sees strengthen her.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: But I can't be that sick, Okay, I reckon. She
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: outsmarts the dragons, because that's like the whole story of
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: the book.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: No, the whole thing is, you can't out smart a
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: black dragon.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Because she can. Oh, but she can, but no one
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: else can. But she can she yeah, because she's ascribed
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: or whatever.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Yea, And they see strengthen her for that reason.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and they're like, Wow, this chick's different, and
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: the Black Dragon's like, finally someone who can match my capabilities.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: But he's like a challenge.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Do you know what power she gets? Yes, damn it,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I do know what?
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Can I predict? Um? It'd be sick if she got
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: like fucking love. I think she gets something. There's ever
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: two avenues the dragon power will give her. It'll be
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: able to wield her smarts even more, or give her
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: what she's not good at and give her power like strength.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: But I think it goes doubles down with her like
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: out smartiness and can read people's minds or something that
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: would be cool.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm wrong, ship, Well, they're good predictions.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I'm so keen to get through these first two books
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: so that I can give predictions on the bird. All right, Oddie,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: let's quickly ask each other what was your favorite moment
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: from those ten chapters?
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Favorite moment, I don't know where I'm leaning. I think
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: it's gotta be even violent in the challenges and like
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: being a bit. I liked it with a boot how
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: she gave her boot to someone else, Randon, when she
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: gave her to I'm really locking that. I feel like
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: that was niche but cool. Okay, because like obviously you
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: could choose one of the catching the knives or whatever,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: but I thought that was like a nice little touched
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: that show.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay. My favorite moment is so she's right
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: before she's about to go on the mats with Zaiden,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Jack Barlow pipes up, you're Violet, let's fucking I'm gonna
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: kill you, just full says it, I'm gonna kill you.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: And he's been killing first years, by the way, just
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: like on the mats, just breaking. Next she turns around,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: she's like, oh yeah, throws two knives at him, one
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: in between his legs and one up next to his head,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and he's like the f And I was like, that
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: was bad ass. That was bad ass. Was so bad.
• 43:34
