  Speaker 2: who I get to find because men are trash.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: And I mean that's facts.

• 8:01
  Speaker 3: talked about this, but apparently we didn't. So while back, what.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I see this is something I distinctly remember, was that
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: we did review the first book in the story, yes,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and you were like, we're not gonna review the second
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: book just yet. We're gonna wait until the next book
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: comes up, like is about to come out, and then
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: review it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I don't remember that I review the second one reverse. Yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: that isn't first because normally you forget everything I tell
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you something one, I tell you got something going on
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: like two hours two hours later, Like what, but I forgot.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: That?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, it's a Twitter, it's a it's a
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: UNA reverse. So we're I'm gonna be talking about the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Iron Flame by Rebecca Uros today. We I already talked
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: about the Fourth Wing, which ended. The description below will
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: be the episode number for that if you want to
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: listen to the first book now, for whatever reason, I
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: thought I was for sure. I thought I talked about
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Iron Flame. Apparently I did not. Am I just info
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: vomit knowledge onto Jacob about the book and not recorded it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: So that's probably what happened there. But I could have
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: worn and talked about but maybe not, but not for
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: the pod because I double checked a triple check.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do recall you talking a bit about it,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: but we didn't. Really, I don't think we actually recorded it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: No, we didn't. I could have sworn we did, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: we didn't. So I have not done an episode on
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: this book. And by the time this episode comes out,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: the third book is already out, and have I already
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: read it by now? Rob A Blay. So sometimes late spring,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: early summer, there'll probably be an episode on the third book,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: which is called Onyx Storm. Yeah on next Storm. So yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Iron Flame by Rebecca Yours Now, this is the second
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: installment in the Apperean series of books. This was released
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: November seventh, twenty twenty three. Now, this is the second
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: book that of this series that was released in the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: same year of twenty twenty three. Because apparently Rebecca's like, hey,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I'm tot it's gonna release two books in one year,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and like you're gonna have to wait two years to
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: get the second. I'm pissed. I'm still pissed as we're
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: recording this on the December twenty first, twenty twenty four.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I'm still pissed. I have to wait a month, Rebecca,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Why how dare you so here? We are? I'm batially waiting.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: This book is good or this series is good. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: love it. Yeah, so lou to kind of go over
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the fourth wait, because I'm not going to go over
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: the whole thing again. Go listen to that episode. Actually,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you know what, I'm not gonna do a recap. Go
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: listen to the first episode on the fourth way, because
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: if I go into a recap, I want to talk
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: about the whole first book, and I don't want to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: do that again.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: So you want to recap drug sex and dragon writers.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: There you go, oh oh, he remembers that. He remembers that, y'all,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: he remembers that drug sex.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I do remember what she talked about it, all right,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I do remember. It's just that like the entire like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I'm just over here, like I'm a I'm an Aragon,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: stand okay, this is this is this is Devon's Aragon,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm like.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: This ship was this ship's busting. I mean, there's a
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: lot of controversies with Rebecca Yarros, but I didn't know
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: anything about that until relatively recently because of the what
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: the work. There's a lot of controversy with or where
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: it comes to her writing on how she repurposes scott
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Gaelic words. She mispronounces them in the writing, apparently, and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of controversy with that. In a way,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: she uses the culture to enhance her books without really
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: knowing the culture. And I'm like, you know what, cool,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I agree whatever, But I'm still gonna enjoy these damn
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: books though, that's for sure. I mean not to get
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: scot irish. I'm gonna enjoy these books.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like it's almost kind of like me
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: with Harry Potter, because I still enjoy the story even
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: though rallying is very is problematic and like trash talking
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the trans community, and I'm just like, like, I feel
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: for you guys. I know, like I feel for you guys.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, I still love Harry Potter.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's fair. But I would say, though Rebecca
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Yarrow's the controversy, Rebecca Yars is not as bad as
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Jakroll by no means JK. Rolling Again, I'm in the
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: same boat o JK. Rowlings. I love the world of
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Harry Potter, but my god, is JK Rolling a fucking bit? Yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: separate the artists from the work, y'all. One day she'll
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: lose it, Wander Brothers will get it completely. That's my theory.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: She's gonna retire. I mean, honestly, she's should already. She
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: should already like retire, she should like just you've created
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: this entire like franchise and we want more of it,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: but unfortunately we don't want you a part of it anymore,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: because like you've been outspoken with your politics and everything,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: and there's nothing wrong with that, but then you decided
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to take a step into the trans community, the elgibity.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: And and that's a good tunk of your fucking fan base, first.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Off, exactly, and then also I love how the creators
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: of Hogwarts Legacy decided to throw a trans character in there.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And when I first came across that trans character, I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: lost my ship because that was the funniest fucking thing
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: I've ever came across. Just like, oh, these guys did it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I love this game even more now there's a trans
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: character here, and I'm pretty sure they did that on purpose. Yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: most of it as a middle finger to JK Rowling
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: because you know, yeah, like because fuck you lady.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, period, period.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: But moving moving on from the controversy, you know, So
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: there's your recap and now, well.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Not really much of a recap, but yeah, basically dumbs Down, Violet,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Soaring Gale. I have to remember some of these names,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: because I it's it's been a minute since I've looked
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: at this book or listened to it, I should say,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: which I do have both of them in my bookshelf currently. Anyway,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: So this story. The first one's about Violet Soreingale. She
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: is the youngest of three children, and her mother is
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: higher up in this and the military, in the world,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: in the country street lives in and blah blah blah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: And she's going to this school which I can't be's
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: guy it, yes, best guy it to become a dragon
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: writer Genanigan's happened. She joins blah blah blah. Almost I
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: several fucking times finds a love finds the love fox,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: you know, drama dragons, and she gets two dragons on
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: one but two one's a baby, so on and so forth.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: There's your there's your recap. You want more deeper depth,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: go listen to the Fourth Wing, because let me tell you,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: some of this stuff is juicy. So Iron Flame picks
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: up right after the events of Fourth Wing, like literally
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: picks her right where I left off. I think left
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: off with Violet finding out, Oh my god, my older
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: brother he's alive. What because he thought she thought everyone
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: thought he was dead. Apparently he was not. It was like,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I'm alive, I'm not dead, Violet. God, he's not gay,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: he's straight. He's full of masculine like he's someone's straight cracked.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: He's he probably like Jacob's dead.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, maybe like I need a visual
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: to be able to like.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I'll find one. I'm fine, but Violet. This is when
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Violet learns that her brother is alive. My thought it
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: was dead. It's not alive. And he never and he's
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: been gone for years. He never came back even after
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: he found out his dad died, because he thought Brendan died.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: That's fuckerat. So let me tell you, Violet was pissed, Abby,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: she was Hella fucking pissed. She beat She was like,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: I'm wonna fuck you up. Well not no sense, but
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: she was like I don't want to fucking look at you.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: And she left. So she finds out about her brother
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: operating under an alias, and obviously it's alive and Lieutenant
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Cardinal in a secret rebellion located in Arietta and that's
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: how you pronounce it, Arietta. That is fighting against the Venoin. Yeah,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the Venom. Now if you remember the Venoin, Okay, so
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: recap boo boo boo boo. So the Venin are basically
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: so the dragons. So they're dragons and they are Griffins, right, right,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: So the dragons and Griffins choose their writer. So like
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: in the set, in the first one you learn about
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: dragon mares obviously, and then of course the Griffin writer.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: And then there's another group that don't are not griffin
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: and or dragon writers. So they decide to make their
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: own creature known as the no As. They're like waverns basically,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: and the Venoin take the energy from the earth and
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: basically it basically it's quite corrupted magic. It taints them
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: and turns them evil. And this goes back to the
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: origin story of the three brothers. I can't think of
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the brother's name at the moment, but the legend goes
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: it's like three brothers. One's a dragon writer, one's a
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: griffin rider, and the other one's not any of those,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and he gets jealous of his two other brothers. So
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that's him when he creates the wavern with magic, and
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: he ends up becoming like a fucking monster. And that's
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: why the Venoin are known as evil because they were
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: the Wavering were born out of or the Venoin whatever
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: they're all born out of.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, that's fucking that's metal.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: As fuck. But at the time, I'm like, why do
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: you need why should you be jealous of your siblings
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: when you literally just created your own type of your
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: own mount, your own companion. You're familiar, all right, because
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: if anything, that's that's much better than the dragons and
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the than the griffins, because like, these are just animals
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: that exist in the real world, and dragons are intelligent too,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: but like, like you, you literally like use your own power.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, you have bitterness and anger and jealousy to
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: create these. So it's just like, dude, take pride in
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: that you you instead of like being basic and just
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: going for what's already there, you made your own.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would think, but with all that rage, anger, jealousy,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: magic that they pulled forcibly pulled from the earth. Now,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: don't quote me on that. I could be a little
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: rusty because again, Fourth Wing, I haven't talked, I haven't
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: read that book in a long time, in a year.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it kind of the magic that they used
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: obviously taints them and corrupts the person as well as
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: the or the Yeah, the wife vern and it these things,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: these wievern are not necessarily living things. They're man made things,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: and they're mindless monsters that just do everything to just
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: kill whatever's in their way, like they have no purpose
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: but violence because they're made because they're born out of
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: rage and jealousy and violence. So this stuff, as far
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: as everyone knows, was of legend myth. But Violet finds out,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: oh shit, these are real, obviously, because this is right
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: after the fight in the last book at the very
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: end where they fight some Vinin and they figure out,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: oh shit, this shit is real. Oh fuck. And of
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: course some of them died. Some of the people in
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: our group died obviously, and that's what it caused problems
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: for this book. Oh so Violet finds out all this
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: about her brother, and she finds out about the Rebellion
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: against the venoin to against the Venom threat that Navari.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Navari's leaders have been hiding for years. So the leaders
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: of the like Bezgayeth, the school and Navari know about
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the Venom, but they're not telling anyone about them because
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: they're like, we're fine, we're gucci, we got our force
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: fields up, we're great. Everyone else that can go fuck themselves.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: They're on their own, and the rebellion people are like,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: you have all this ability to do something about it,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: but you're only defending yourselves and letting everyone else rot.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: So mm hmmm, uh so that's it. The normal everyday
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: person does not know about the venom because of the
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: lie in secrecy of it all, but the simply of
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: their revolution are wary of trusting Violet because Violet wants
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: to join in on this. She's like, I want in
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: on this, and everyone's like, mm, you're kind of a risk,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: girly because you're still going to best Guya. So I
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know if she trusts you, even
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: though she's Brendan's younger sister, So there's that. But they
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: eventually vote to allow her and her comrades to who
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: survived the vend attack at Rassan returned back to bes Guya.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: So they eventually returned back to the school because they
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: have to because otherwise everyone gets very suspicious. Don't be suspicious,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious. So as long as
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: they keep the Venda attack a secret, the group returns
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to the war college like nothing's wrong. They have to
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: act like everything's okay, there's nothing that happened, which pisses
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: off violent It obviously because some of her friends died
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: in that attack and she can't even really talk about it,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: so lying they have to lie obviously that they were
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: attacked by They had to say the lie that they
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: were attacked by Griffins instead of thee So the core, uh,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the Quadrant returns or the Quadrant is introduced their new
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: vice commandant commandant. Yes, that's the word. Major Burton verished, which,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: let me tell you, I fucking dismand so much when
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: this man finally gets it so good, it just like
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I want you to die so bad, So major bearish
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: trash an ally of General Atos, which, if you refresher,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: General Atos is the father of Violet's old BFF for life,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: best friend forever being, and General Atos is the one
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: that sent Violet and her crew to basically get slaughtered
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: by the Venet, so she was kind of set up
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: to die because of General Atos.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So that's pretty that's typical.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Mm hmmm. And Violet publicly ends her friendship with Dane,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: which is General Atos's son her BFF used to be BFF,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: blaming him for for Liam's death with Lei. Liam is
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: one of the characters that died that he had the
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: big he had the dramatic death in the Fourth Wing,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: and it was because of Dane kind of, not in
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: not directly indirectly Dane's fault, because Dane was the one
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: who spilled the beans of what was going on in
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the first book, which put general Ato's I'm Gonna kill You,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: So it was technically indirectly Dane's fault. Kind of. Dane
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: didn't know his father was gonna do some bullshit like that, obviously,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: but so it's indirectly his fault. But Violet blames him anyway.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: And I think it doesn't say that on the summary
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: that I'm looking at here, but I think that's when
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Violet punches him in the face, if I remember correctly,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: because she she sucks. If it's not this part, it's
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: another part. But she punches in the face off your anger.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And now at this point, Violet is a whole lot
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: stronger than she was when she first went the best
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: guy at them the Fourth Wing. She's gotten some muscle
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: on her he didn't know she still has. Obviously, she
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: still lives with her condition that she has, but her
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: body's a lot more durable now. So from there, Zayden,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: who's now graduated and who's a lieutenant and also ex
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: bully now lover hey. It is sent to the outposts
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: of Samara. So due to Violet's dragon and Zayden's dragon,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: there are mates and they have a they're really they're
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: in a relationship. They're mating bond, they're bonded for life.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Violet and Zayden are granted leave every week on a
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: rotation basis to see each other because the dragons have
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: to be in contact with each other. So one week
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Violet would go to Zayden on his outposts. The dragons
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: do their thing, and then the next week Zayden comes
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: to Besgayath. The dragons do their thing. By doing their thing,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, use your imagination. Dragons are animals, so you
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: know what's oh yeah, and what's funny. What's funny and
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: kind of weird. The Zayden and Violet know when their
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: dragons are are doing that because the emotion kind of
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: rubs off on them and then they get in the mood.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: You're catching when I'm putting down. You're catching when I'm
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: putting down, y'all, so it kind of reflects. Okay, I
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: just wanna make sure y'all got it. So make sure
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: on the same page. I'm so dramatic, So they do
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: rotations every other week or every week. Violet is, uh,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: of course, Violet is still having walls from Zayden and
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: he that he insists he can't be honest with you,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and she's like, why the fuck not fucking tell me shit, bitch,
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: And then it's like, I can't tell you, ship, I
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: can't tell you. You can't there's some things you can't
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: learn about my god, he's being one of those. And
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: she's like, let me fucking and fuck. So they're still
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: having relationship issues. And because last book, that's when she
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: found out about the smuggle it was that last book
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: or this book. It was one of the two they
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: talk about the smuggling ring of weapons that they're doing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: I guess it was this book. But she finds out
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: about Zayden and the other what they call them marked ones,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: the other ones that are blamed for the uprising. But
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: it turns out, well, a little more background on that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: So there was an upraising obviously, and Zaden's won the people,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: the children have won the what they call it rebels,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: because there's a group of people that try to take out,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: try to overthrow Nari, the country they're in, because they
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: found out about the Venin about everything else is going
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: on that they're doing. This group didn't like that, so
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: they stood up to the government and the people of
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: power and then it turned into a revolution. Blah blah blah.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Zayan's one of them. So all these kids are marked
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: by a dragon to indicate that they're a child of
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: one of these old rebels or whatever, and all of
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: them have been doing this smuggling ring of weapons, taking
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: these weapons out of Basgayath and taking them to outside
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: the country because their weapons that Besgayath has can hurt
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: the Vinin, well normal weapons cannot, so best Guyeth hords
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: all these weapons and shit. So now this group is
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: trying to smuggle them out to give them the people
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: so they can defend themselves against the Venin, which also
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: explains why the Griffins are attacking, because the Griffin writers
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: are also involved in this because they're outside the world,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: outside this nation, and they're being fucked over by the Venoin,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: and they're fighting into Navari because of the bullshit. They're
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: trying to get people to realize what the hell is
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: happening outside, But the people in Navari think oh, the
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Griffins are just violet criminals who would want to murder
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: everybody when reality, they're struggling out here against the Venoin,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: with everyone's sitting comfortably in their little force field bubble
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: bitches Navari's hosts bitches and hosts of low Lives. So
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: from there she grows a camaraderie with Imagen and one
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: and one of the other students in her group Blah
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Blah blah, and two other marked ones who survived the
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: fight with the vinin Last Look. So she does get
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: distant with her friend Rihannan, who was her close friend
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: during the first book. She was not part of the
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: group that got attacked by the Venoin. She was left
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: at the school she got put somewhere else in the
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: different quadrant. Yeah right, Oh, so violences distancing herself from
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: her friends because she doesn't want to let them know
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: what's really going on because that also potentially puts them
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: into danger. So she kind of puts a wall up
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to them because she wants to protect them because the
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: second they find out, they're in just as much danger
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: as she is doing what she's doing with the knowledge
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: as she knows. So on Coronation Day, conscription day. So
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: on prescription Day, Violet Dane recognized Prince Cam now Prince Cam.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: So the prescription day is the day that the new
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: students of Besgaya go through their trial of crossing that
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: little canon I came what they call it a little
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. They cross a little bridge of rock
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: and there's open on both sides and the potentially can
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: fall over and die. Right anyway, there's there's their first test.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: So one of these people that came up to him
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: were was Prince Cam. Now Prince Cam is the child
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: of the king. He's the youngest, the youngest son of
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: King Harry Corry Tarry Tory and who's going to under
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: the alias of Eric Eric basically Eric Grace gray Castle.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: And they're like, uh, this is Prince Camp and he's like, no,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not, I'm Eric gray Castle. Let me through. My
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: dog doesn't know shit, because Prince Cam knows what's going
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: on spoiler alert. He knows everything. And he's like, I
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: can't sit around and just let people die out there
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: like my father's doing, sitting on the goddamn throat. So
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: now I'm gonna fucking learn how to be a dragon
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: writer and fucking take care of shit myself. So he
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: seeks out and does and joins this and they're like
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: oh fuck, or Violet's like, oh fuck if he dies,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: it's basically our heads, so yay drama yay. She also
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: meets Sloan. Now Sloan is a is a little not
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: little a girl, it's it's Liam's sister. Now she blames
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Violet for her for her brother's death. So there's a
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: lot of turmoil between Sloan and Violet because Slow wants
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: to kill Violet because she's like, it's your fucking fut
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: our brother's dead, you little bitch, even though it's really not,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: but she doesn't know that. So uh, Violet's like, well shit,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: that's the fuck me then, I guess. So she survives
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: assassination attempt orchestrated by General Arrows. Also, on top of
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: all of this, they try to kill she tries to.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: She almost gets assassinated, and while many of while also
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: many of her other comrades that survived the n An
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: attack also get assassinated, a bunch of them do get
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: killed off because they are assassinated because they know too much.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: The General Arrows is trying to kill everybody that knows
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: what's happening because his goal was to have them all die,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: but not all of them did obviously, So now they
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: start throw out the book. They start picking them off
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: one by one until she's like it sells like her
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: and maybe like one of the persons left it. And
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I was like, damn, general arrows ain't playing. You want
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: them all dead? So from there, uh meanwhile, uh oh Anna,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: oh my god, let's sake, I an pronounce her name,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: the little dragon. So Violet Headquarters has two dragons, a
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: black dragon, one of the biggest ones period, and then
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: she has another one that's now it's named and Darna
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: and Darna and Darna, yes, yes, I remember Darna. So
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: I'm like, how do you pronounce that Darna? So she
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: enters what they call the dreamless Sleep, which all dragon
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: hatchlings must go through to enter maturity. Basically that's where
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: they do their most growing. Most they're growing is through
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: this dreamless sleep and learning that there is an un
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: oh okay, okay. So when Darna goes into this serious
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: dreamless sleep and they're still trying to figure out what
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: to do with the venin, they realize there's a wardstone
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: in play. It's not too far from where they're at
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: and Aria, Oh god, Rita, Arita, someplace in Arita, and
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh fuck, we can get a wardstone. We
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: could potentially help people outside, potentially make a ward to
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: sit to protect themselves from the goddamn Venin because the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Vennor just freaking have it going through the village of village,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: murdering everybody. So they're trying to find a way to
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: get wards outside as well, and they found a unactivated wardstone.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: So Violet begins secretly investigating the first six who built
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: the first wards in Navari, the first six of dragon
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Ris that created the first wards that protected Navari from
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: all the vine in the first place. And she's trying
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to figure out how they did it because she wants
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: to emulate that for the people, for people elsewhere, to
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: help other people. So a scribe helps her. Her name
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: is Jessina Casina. She breaks into the scribe quadrant. She
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: breaks quadrant rules and smuggles out books of the archives,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: so violent and for Violet and Corzden confronts her about
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: her research as she's doing, because obviously that can get
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: them in serious trouble if anyone finds out that there's
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: a scribe smuggling out books that should not be read
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: common people eyes, secrets and shit. So from there also
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: transl where was ibscribes? Where are you denying?
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Subscribe was gonna help her?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: No?
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: No, no, okay. Well, also struggles with keeping the secrets
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: from her friends, obviously, and her sister Mirah. Of course,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: her older sister's Mira, who's not as bad as Guy anymore.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: She's a soldier out in combat and she knows something's
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: going on. The Violet doesn't tell her shit either, like
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: she doesn't know her brother, her older brother is alive,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: which is kind of sucks because Mira and Brennan were
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: really close as children. So the fact that Violet has
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: to lie to her sister that their brother's alive after
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: all these years really kind of gets the violent. Obviously,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: she finds out that the uh Eric Eric Eric knows
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: about the venom, which is Prince cam. He knows about
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: the vinin obviously and the venom threat, and he comes
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to Best Guy to try and find a resolution. Of course,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: and Varish, especially of Violet and the marked Ones, begins
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: to target her, routinely searching her bags whenever she leaves
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: for Zayden because she obviously Veris thinks she's up to something,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: so she checks. Everytimes she goes to a dragon to leave,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: he checks her belongings on her. She does a bag
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: search or he does a bag search, and it's just like, girl, leave,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: leave her alone. Down it. And during an interrogation exercise,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: since Violet's higher ranking in the school now, they're learning
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: how to do interrogations and how how not to break
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: under interrogation. So during an interrogation exercise, Varish orders Dane
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: to read her memories, which Dane can do. Obviously in
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: the first book, that didn't work out for him for
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: so while. That's what got him in trouble in the
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: first place. So Barris She's like, yeah, Dane read her memories,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and Dane's like, uh no, I'm not doing that, so
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: he refuses. Avey and Violets and her squad members are
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: shocked when Jack Barlow, whom she killed in the previous book,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: is alive.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: WHOA, there's.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Girl, girl, Let me tell it, Let me tell you,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. I was behooved. I was
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: like I had to stop the audiobook and I'm like,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: what kind of fucking bullshittery, fuck are you is over
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: here on this day? You're telling me that bitch is alive?
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: I was behooved. I was pissed. I was like, what
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: the fuck? How that bitch survived? Turns out they'd keep
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: and come alive. They found when they found him, he
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: was barely alive. So he's been sealed away somewhere for months,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: recuperating months, and he just comes back and he's like hey,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: and while it's like oh, just like just.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Like hey, yeah, literally, literally this guy's back.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, our secrets are about to get exposed. Okay the
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: guy I tried to kill me, I'm in danger.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Oh. I was like, girl, fuck up, you did it once?
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Did you get do it again?
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: So to finish when I started?
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Literally so yeah, yeah. She finds out that he was
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: been mended over time because his wounds were that severe,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: and then basically nothing really happens there. She finds out
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: he's alive, and that's pretty much yet and she's like,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: oh fuck. So then she goes on a trip after
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: the exercise happens, because when when Dane's like, I'm not
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: gonna do that, kind of just saw it kind of
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: just ends there where the extra continues on and she's
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: She's just like fine, Parris, like, I'll find you, I'll
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: get your bullshit. I'll find out Wan these days you wait,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: you're gonna You're gonna slip up, and I'm gonna get you.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you. You can't have me, bitch. So
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: violets on her toes, and then she visits obviously Zaiden,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: and they rekindle their physical relationship. They fuck, they fuck,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: they fuck hard. They I was like, m and let
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: me tell you, girl, some of the that detail they
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: put in those scenes, I'm just like, uh, I can't.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I have to be careful because I was working delivery
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: at the time, y'all, and I was at a gas
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: station windows down, listening to the book, you know, minded
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: my business, and that's why I came on. And I'm like, oh, oh,
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: let me turn it down because let me tell you,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: it goes in detail about certain like body parts, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: My god, just like that Pepe meme, just like mm hmm.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: I should have known better because the first book is
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: like that too, but I didn't think anything of it.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: And I heard that, I'm like, oh, let me turn
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: it down with my when I have my windows down,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: that's their children somewhere. I was behooved. I was like, damn,
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: damn Satan down. Okay, okay, okay, back in king all right,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: mm hmm. You get freaky. So and then Zayden trusts her,
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: and obviously they recondo the physical relationship as well as
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: their emotional one, and Zayden starts to begin to trust
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: her enough to join him on this group that she
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: that he's going with with these Griffin writers. He delivers
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: these smuggled daggers to help kill the vinin obviously, so
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: she joins in the group includes Zaden's ex girlfriend Cat, which,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: let me tell you, drama drama, ex drama ex girlfriend
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: girl mm hmmmmm x and Theyden gives Cat, I'm sorry,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: no thing gives Violet and uh dagger people killing the
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Veno in Jess the case they come across him because
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, girl, you gotta be you gotta be prepared, ma'am.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: So he made he makes a bunch of daggers for her,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: so she has him on her at all times, but
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: she hides in her jacket, of course, and upon returning
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: to Besgayeth, Violet is ambushed by Verish, her best friend
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: using her secretly uses her telecanetic signet or telconic powers
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: to hide the dagger from Varish by but Violet is,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: how do I okay, how do I put it? Telekinetic?
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: So basically telecanetic. I mean, obviously she took the dagger,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: so Vera she's checking her bag and she's like checking
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: her jacket and bag and shit, and she's like, oh fuck,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna get found out. So her friend, the ff
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: It's like uh no, and she takes the dagger, and
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: the dagger appears in the room with her with her friend,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: and Barris has no idea, and she's like, I'm not
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: going to do that. I did not going to do that.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: It is great. And now Violet has to tell Rion
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: and what's going on because obviously she's like, why are
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: you trying to hide this? I got your back, girl,
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: but why are you hiding this?
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: I gotta know? Now, I gotta know now, bitch, tell
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: me what it means. Bitch. She does, and Sawyer and Riddick,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: which are more of friends, agreed to aid her in
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: her research on the first six to figure out how
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: to make words. So believing that a pair of valuable
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: journals written written by Warwick and LERA. Two of the
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: first six are hidden the vault in the Archives, which
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: can only be unlocked by someone from king from the
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: King's bloodline. Now who do we know from the king's bloodline?
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Prince Cam, So Prince Cam. Violet gets Prince Cam to
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: come into all this bullshit, takes them to the hidden
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: vault in the archives, and they steal the journals, but
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Violet is caught by Verish during the process and Prince
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: and the Prince is heavily harmed because they had like
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: a there was a trap they didn't count for, and
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: he got hurt pretty badly from them. But they got
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: the journals, but Verish got her ass, got her ass,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: and Varius tortures Violet for five days and then brings
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: in Dane, who reads Violet's mind of the Venoin attack
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: kills Verish. Dane kills fucking Verish, like I was like,
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: oh he's dead. Oh, thank the gods, Praise the gods.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Be I hated that guy so of goddamn much. And
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Dane fucking Nerve killed his ass and Zay didn't arrive
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: because they didn't realize is what the hell is going on.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I don't fucking think so, so he
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: goes back trying to rescue her, and then they find
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: out about Dane saved her, and then they all rally
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: the students of buz Guy. It exposes them to the
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: truth of everything going on and a mass what they
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: call it exodus of the writers. So basically all the
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: writers like, fuck this place, We're leaving. So all the
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: students pack up their shit and they leave in the
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: middle of the goddamn night to join the rebellion against
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: the Venoin as well as to help our Tira Artira
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: or whatever. So they set up on a makeshift work
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: They set up a makeshift work college over outside of
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: the Wards and Mirrors, amongst a group of writers who
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: also abandoned the military outposts to join the rebellion so
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: they may so they take all these students make a
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: makeshift work college, and the people that left, like some
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: of the teachers, also left to so they still try
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: to do their lessons and stuff while doing all of
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: this because obviously the Dragon Writer the new Dragon Writers
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: are not fully prepared yet, so they still have to
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: obviously do their teaching, so they try to make make
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: what they got. So Violet translates part of the Warwick's journal,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: but attempts to activate the Wardstone do not work. They
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: did not work. She tries to activate the warzone and
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: it does not work, and she's like, what the fuck?
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: How learning that?
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: God them? Oh remember these names? How do you say
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: these names? Learning that? This count to Karus, a former
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: ally of thin resort In has a luxury that allows
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: the rebels to begin forming their own weapons. So there's
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: this guy. They have to butter up, this rich man.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: They have to butter up to make to be able
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: to make their own weapons and ship. Violet flies to
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: the province of Cravolavola and God, these names, y'all very good.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: I'm very good. Sure a lot of these names have
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: they're Gaelic.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Their Gaelic, so they would have Scottish.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's Scottish Gaelic, and it's pronunciations. I am so sorry.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know the native tongue my mother language or
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: let me phrase that, one of my mother languages, so
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm pronouncing these words terribly right to apology.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: But basically, she goes to a broker to make an
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: alliance with him, this rich man to get out to
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: get production of these weapons. As you learned that Cat
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: is this guy. Her Zaydan's ex girlfriend is this guy's niece, drama.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: So and of course Kat was arranged with an arranged
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: marriage to be the betrothed to Zadan back when his
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: father was alive, who ended the engagement only a year previously,
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: so he broke it off. The broker agrees to give
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: them the luxury in exchange the limitary, sorry, luminary, that's
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: what it's called, luminary. Give them the luminary to help
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: make the weapons in exchange for the rebellions taking one
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: hundred griffin flyers back to the headquarters. So they so
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: here's the problem with them. The area they have to
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: fly through is very treacherous and it's only dragons can
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: only drive fly through it. Griffins don't have the wingspan
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: or the wing power or the height because the Griffins
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: can't fly as high as dragons can. So they had
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: to go buy it on foot with a bunch of
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Griffins going through a mountain range just basically like the
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Grand Canyon, with thin little walkways climbing up and down
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: mountains and shit. The whole works, and they have to
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: do it all on foot because the Griffins cannot fly
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: through that treacherous zone. Suspense was real, people died, Griffins
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: died but eventually didn't make it. Violet is of course
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: jealous of cats passed with Zaydan obviously this you know
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: ex girlfriend, before Zayden reassures her that his devotion to
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: her uh her other Violet's other Dragon wakes up a
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: weekends after an unusually long dreamless sleep. The Violet is
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: written with guilt after learning that the fight at Russin
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: where anadt where and Darna was forced to use her
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: powers to say Violet affected her growth and she will
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: never be able to bear a writer. So basically, the
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: fact that she woke up several times to help Violet
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: has stunted her growth to basically, she won't grow as
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: much more than what she is now, but she does,
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: she won't be big enough to have a writer.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: She's supposed to be like a very rare type of
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: dragon too right.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: Spoiler alert jump the gun that was towards the end
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: my doom Gune spoiler alert, my God, yes, but no
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: one else will. Someone at home right now is going damn,
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: he's spoiling it for me. Hasn't done that part yet,
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Jacob gone anyway, dramatics aside. So Violet's stressed about and
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: Darna and her growth and the fact that's her fault
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: that the growth, her stunted growth is an issue. Now,
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Violet enlists Dane's help and translating the journals, and the
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: two rekindle their friendship. So basically they work through their bullshit.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: They work it out on the remix, y'all, and Dane
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: basically is like, Hey, I didn't know that my Dallas
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: gonna do some I would never stand it. And obviously
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: you kind of realize that he's not full of shit.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's full of shit, but he's not a
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: total dick. He's kind of smart, you know. So you're like,
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: you know what, Dane, you coup? You coup? I mean,
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I'm side eyeing you, but you coop we could. So
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: from there, they helped transcribe the journals and he promises
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: her that he did not know about the venen or
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: Nintendo hurting her of course, and during the training mission,
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Violet cat And and Sulent Sloan are attacked by Verish's
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: dragon because Verus's dragon. Okay, tell you something. If a
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: dragon dies, the dragon writer dies, the dragon writer dies,
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: the dragon will still be alive, but the dragons will
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: be fucked up. So when he comes across Verish's dragon
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: seeking revenge on Violet for causing Verius' death, Anadyne obviously
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: intervenes and kills the dragon. Now, this dragon is huge.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: I think this dragon was like a a yellow dragon.
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: I think it was some odd color. I think it
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: was a yellow dragon. But it was very like they
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: were going through caves and shit, and this dragon would
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: not let up. The dragon wanted to fucking kill them.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: And Anna and Darna is like yeah, nah, and she
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: kills a little bit, kills the bitch, and Violet, coming
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: to a sudden realization about signets, finds out Zaydan has
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: been keeping a secret from her his second signet. I
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: don't remember what his first signet is though. No, his
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: first signet is he's able to control shadows. But he
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: has a second one. His second one.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Is that.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: He's a mind reader. Don dun oh thing about mind
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: readers in Bezgayath in Navari. If someone has a signet
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: that develops as a mind reader, they can't control it,
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: and half the time they end up getting killed because
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: they're a risk that someone's a mind reader. They can't
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: control whose minds they read and how much information they get,
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: and he either drives them crazy or they learn about
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: secrets and shit that they should not learn. So half
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: the time, when someone starts developing signs of being a
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: mind reader, teachers kill you instantly, no question is you're dead.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: You will get stabbed and be headed on the spot
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: in the classroom. So the fact that he as they
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: didn't hid this ability for so long on no one knowing.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Violet's like, what, although she's upset that obviously the secret
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: was kept from her. Obviously, he promises not to keep
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: any more secrets in the future, blah blah blah. You know,
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: well he could keeping more stecrets from.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: You, babe, you know, accept this one thing that I
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: just can't talk about exactly.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: And honestly, it kind of makes sense that he's a
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: mind reader because certain things in Book one kind of
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: indicate like, how how would he know that certain things
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: are happening? How would he know that violence at this
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: certain spot or whatever? Certain things when you look back
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: at the first book now makes sense that why he's
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: a mine reader because he yeah, it makes sense, Like,
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: oh interesting, okay, all right. So Violet realizes she has
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: misinterpreted a phrase in the journals about the word I
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: could mean the words all this is happening all at
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: the same time, blah blah blah. She's still trying to
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: figure out the damn word situation. However, the words soon
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: proved to be faulty, and Violet and the rebels flight
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: to Basgaiath, where the Vinoin are launching an attack, an
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: all out war attack. And Jack, so Jack, during this
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: whole book, when they find out that he's alive, he
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: actually ends up being kind of a good guy, kind
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: of He's like, cool, I saved you once, you saved me.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. They kind of like, I got your
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: back once and that's it across the can I kill you?
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: That turns out quick bro quote and all that crap.
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So he ends up being somewhat of a good
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: guy and half a for like a half a second,
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh, why don't maybe think of your friends?
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: Turns out, Jackson Vinnon, I'm like, mother, you fucking sca.
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: So Jack is a vend and while hundreds of other
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: Venoin descend upon the college and engage the students in battle.
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: Descinia proves uh prefer to dig proves that basically shows
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: a correct translation of one of the journals revealing the
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: locations of the seven dragons that were crucial to the ritual.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: Now the seven dragons, Uh, revealing the locations of the
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: seven dragons den for the ritual. Violet realizes that Ana Dyne,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: whose scales originally seemed black because remember she was a
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: gold dragon, and then her scales turned black.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: She then they thought, oh cool, she's a black dragon. No, no, no,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: she is not, because between her and her group, they
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: have all the dragons that are there that near needed
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: for the ritual. But they forgot about one one more
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: kind of dragon that only has one dragon Aad's den
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Ana Dyne and Darna, sorry not and I and Darna
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: is the only dragon of her kind. She is known
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: as the Onyx Dragon. She's the seventh She's from the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: seventh den of the dragons. Violent nearly burns out attempting
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: to imbue the wards with her power, by her mother,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: of course, stays her life. So they did find out,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: Oh shit, and Darna is the Fine is the new
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: is the seventh Dragon, Oh my god, and she's the
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: on ex Dragon, which is obviously is the name for
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: the next book, on Next Storm, because that's about more
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: about Darna, which I hope so love her. Love a queen,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: love an onyx queen. But they try to lift the wards,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: or not lift the words, but try to put power
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: into the words while almost dies, but her mother comes
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: in and sacrifices her herself to lift the words, and
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: she dies in the so Violet.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Her just like her first, like her first and only
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: selfless act.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: Pretty much because her mother was kind of her mother's
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: a bit or she was a bit, but they kind
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: of get understanding that the very was miss she rests
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: in peace. But Violet, it's like, okay, they kind of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: have a mother daughter moment, and she kind of in
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: violent kind of realizes that maybe her mother wasn't that
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't as bad, and she kind of sees it everything
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: from her point of view too, so she's like, Okay,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: maybe she wasn't as bad as I initially thought. But
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: she ends up dying to save her daughter, of course,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: her youngest, and meanwhile, Zayden fights on the battlefield against
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: the Venin skip a stad he's blah blah blah blah. Meanwhile, yeah,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: her mother dies. Meanwhile, during the fight with the Venin,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: Zayden fights on the battlefield against the vin Stage, who's
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: the Vince Stage is like the leader of the Venoin
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: writers or whatever. He's like their teacher quote unquote, because
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: they I guess they have like a school like system too,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: where they where people learn how to be venin and shit.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: So he's fighting the leader, the head of it, and
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: who has he's plagued by nightmares that this guy's been
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: plaguing Zayden's nightmares. And then desperate attempt to save Violet,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: Zayden channels Earth magic and to himself kills the Sage
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: at the very end, I mean, I fucking tell you something.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. I was like, oh no,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: don't do this to me, Rebecca, Rebecca, I will buck
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: Oh Carl, I was. I'm so mad. I was raging
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: when I finished this book. Let me tell you Zadan
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: becomes a Venin. At the end of the book, it's
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: revealed that he's a venin because he had yes, because
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: he channeled into Earth magic to save the day, to
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: win the final battle and it turns out, oh now,
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: now now he's turned to a ven in. And I'm like, oh.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: So channeling into earth magic turned him into a ven
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Oh so he became a ven in.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: He became a venin. Ven are born or made. So
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: if you channeled from the earth, you become a ven in.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: Because yeah, it's it's it's a mess. And I'm like,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: we don't know it, answered the book, revealing on the
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: fact that he that he's actually a vent in. His
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: eyes changed and that's it. And the book answered, I'm like,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: you mother fuckers, how dare you leave me on a
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: cliffhanger like that? And I got to weight over a year.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: I was so mad. I'm still mad. And the book
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: comes and the book comes out next month and I'm
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: still mad. Mhm. The book very good, I swear to God,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: very good, because if it's not, I'm a rage. I mean,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 3: very mad, very upset, very upset because that cliffhanger. How
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: dare you that's a crime. I hate crime to be exact.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: You go through all that, they figure out the words,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: they say the day and then oh, Zada comes in
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: in me.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: Well he becomes a venin. But they don't say that
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: he becomes an enemy.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping that do some fucking wocky shit and that
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: Zayden ends up being like able to use the Venoin
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: shit for good. I'm hoping, you know, because.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: You never know, because there's a lot that they don't
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: know about the Venin too. Like, yeah, they create the
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Venoin created, uh can create why Burns, but like, there's
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: still a lot we don't know about the Vena in general,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: like their powers and things like that.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: So that's that's a problem with these kind of societies
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: where they restrict information. It's just like you end up
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: learning that what we thought as like purely black and
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: white is more different shades of gray.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So so I'm hoping that's what happens, is that
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: by the end of the series, being considered venin or
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: having a wavern is not necessarily a bad thing. It's
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: just like the Griffins and the Dragons. So we'll see
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: that is So that's the end of Iron Flame. And
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: let me tell you, I like this book. I book
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: a lot. I liked this series. I want more. Of course,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: the third book comes out early twenty twenty five, January
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: twenty first, and I think in total she has five
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: books planned out, so this is the third out of
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: five books being released for this series. So yeah, and
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: it looks like the book's gonna be a little shorter
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: than Iron Flame because Iron Flame is about six hundred
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: and twenty three pages, while Onyx Storm is only five
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty four. The Girl, Rebecca Girl, don't play me,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: don't play me? This book, Baby, fuck this book. Bear
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: fucking slap, I remember you slapping the next fucking Tuesday
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: with his book. Also, if I haven't said it before,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: they do plan on making a Amazon series for this,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: I also exlarted be fucking better. I would love to
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: see a show based on these books.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to be a while before
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: we get an actual show because this is still a
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: very new book series. But then again, that's not It's
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: not unheard of for like very new book series to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: be instantly adapted into a movie or TV show, right,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: But it's all the first adaptations are always gonna be
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: the worst. I will say that the first time they
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: adapt the show, the book into a show or a movie,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the worst. And there's very few exceptions.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Like Harry Potter is one of the few exceptions, and
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: the Wheel of Time is kind of a bit of both.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: Because season one of the Wheel of Time show was
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: actually pretty garbage. It was hot garbage. If you look
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: at it and you compare it to the overall story,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: it's hot garbage. But then you get into season two
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: and that's when they're they become more faithful to the characters,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: more faithful to the original story. It's still they're still
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: taking their own like a different They're still going in
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: a somewhat different direction, but it is definitely gotten so
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: much better. Like for sure, they improved Matt's character because
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: Matt's character, Matt was just a pure scumbag in the
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: first in the first yeah, he sure was. And then
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: in the second season he they they they with the recast.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: They the guy that recast him with really captured Matt's
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: playful nature. And I enjoyed it and I'm glad that
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: they did went in that direction with him, even though
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Matt is still my least favorite character in general. But awesome.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: And now Real Time season three is coming out in March,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, why does that to be in mar
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: That's still three and a half months away. Okay, I
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: can wait I'm patient, Not really, but I'm patient. I
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: can wait.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 3: So what's funny about the series The Imperiance, The Imperiance series.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: I was right, So apparently this book obviously is more
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: targeted towards women, but oddly enough, the second book has
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: gotten a lot of love from a male audience, surprisingly enough,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm just like, ooh, so obviously Iron Flame is
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: considered a romanticy, a romance fantasy.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: A romance fantasy.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: Romanticy is what they call it. And it's obviously the
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: series the Romanticy is highly written by women and marketed
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: for women, but Iron Flame has gotten a lot appeal
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: from a male audience because of the obviously the dragon
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: dragon culture. Obviously because Game of Thrones. They I mean
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: the way I'm reading here, they reference Game of Thrones,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: and that because of the love of Game of Thrones,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: that male audience has been pulled into the series, especially
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: with the second book. And I'm like, you know, what,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: do you see it? It's good. The second book is
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: a lot more action and a lot more drama, not
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: as much of the school vibe. You become more of
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: a worldview. Grandad didn't go over every single little plot
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: point in the book because we're not gonna be here
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: all day. Yeah, yeah, read the book.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: That happens with every with pretty much any book series
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: you read, the first book is always going to set
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: up the pretty much the overall setting of this world
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: that we're going to be exploring in the story, and
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: the second book just kind of takes off and focuses
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: more on the story and the characters, the action rather
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: than the world itself. I mean, you'll still get like
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: that world building, but at the same time, it's just like,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: well you have then the foundation was said in book one,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: now book two and onward, as is it going to
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: be focused more on the story itself and building more
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: on the world rather than just like every detail of
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: the setting.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which I love, want more more. I would love
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: for the fourth book to come out this year, but
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: I doubt it because I because she also is like, yeah,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: I'm most slow down writing because writing two books in
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: one years a lot, and I'm like, girl, girl, I
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: believe that that sounds like a lot. So we'll see
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: if she releases the fourth one this or if it's
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: going to be or are in twenty twenty five or
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be in twenty twenty six.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: Most likely unless you spent the last few years writing
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: both books. Who knows, so you know that is the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: iron flame again in the script, if you want to
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: listen to the Fourth Wing episode, please go do so
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: great as well.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Listen to it, listen to it on audible, watch it,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: go read it. Yeah, go, like, pick up an actual
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: copy and read it. Like I'm always going to advocate
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: for reading the actual like the actual books over the audiobooks,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: but you know, people have their preferences, so you do
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: you boo.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: I listened to audiobooks and I actually have a fiscal
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: copy of the book, so.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: I have neither, and I know and I and I
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: know the story anyway. Anyway, I'm just I'm just I'm
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: just giving you ship anyway. So thank you for listening.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Uh like the neat se Devin, you gave me the ugly.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: I grove you the ugly.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Anyway, thank you for listening. In today. Next week we're
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: gonna be starting on another book series. This one is
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: one I've been wanting to do for a while. Now
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be We're gonna be reviewing the first book
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: in Cassandra Cassandra Claire's uh shadow Hunters universe. We're gonna
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: be reviewing book one of the Mortal Instruments, the City
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: of Bones and Day. Yes, so if you liked the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Irish setting of Iron Flame, then you're definitely gonna love
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Cassandra Claire's novels because she takes a lot of inspiration
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: from not only the Abrahamic religions, but also from Celtic
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: mythology because oh that's mine. Okay, sorry, no, my cousin
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: borrowed my car and he uh just got back and
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: he set off the car alarm and I'm just like,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? Anyway? So anyway, so Cassandra Klaire's
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: mustrument series, the shadow Hunter novels, they are death They're
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: still within the young they're still within that young adult category,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: but they are very similar to Rick Yordan's work for
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: the Percy Jackson series and his you know Demi gods
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: because hers, the shadow Hunters are Nephelim, who are the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: half human, half angel, half angel descendants and ah, they
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: it's a whole world where these shadow Hunters police the world,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: protects humanity from the down world. So like you know,
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: the monsters and demons of every culture imaginable, and it's
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: an interesting take on the shadow It's an interesting take
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: on the Nephilim because whereas the original biblical Nephilim were
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: not only giants, but they were also literally half human
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: half angels, the Shadow Hunters are only demi angels. They're
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: not really like actual like children of angels and humans.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: They're humans that have been given angelic blood by an
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: archangel name Razil, and because of this, they're imbued with
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: his power. They were given tools that would help him
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: fight demons as well as the children of demons, so
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: that that includes vampires, werewolves, warlocks who are actual half demons,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: like half human half demons, and you also have fay,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: so the fay are all have a big role in
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: the shadow in the shadow Hunter verse. So fay are
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: often considered like the popular culture version of Nephelum, which
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: is like half angel, half demon. So that's that's Cassandra's
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: Claire's take on the Fay and she even talks about
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: the Cely and un Seily courts. She doesn't like in
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: the original Mortal Instrument series. She doesn't really go that
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: deep into the Fay lore like you encounter the Faye.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: They're Fay characters, but it's more focused on the shadow
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Hunters themselves and some of their friends, you know, both
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: human and downworlder as they call the not the Hat
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: the demi human denizens of the world. And it's a
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: really I like, I enjoyed this book. I enjoy the
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: overall theme, and it's definitely it's gonna fall under the
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: young adult cheesy romance action cheesy romance story, but it's definitely.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: It was definitely popular. It was adapted into a movie
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: as well as TV show. Movie was garbage, sure was.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: TV show was more faithful to the story, but it
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: had like an interesting modern take to it. So it
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: was definitely a lot better and I enjoyed it, and
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: I definitely enjoyed it. I wish they had gone further
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: with it, but unfortunately that show got canceled. But hey,
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: it it's a great series. It's definitely it's a good series.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: It has had multiple spin offs from Dark Artifices the
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Infernal Devices, and I believe that a new one. I
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: forgot what the new series is called, but it's definitely
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: following the whole like artifact type vibe, you know, instruments devices.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna be talking about this book series. I mean,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: Jacob's more going to lead that probably than me, but
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: I will chime in because they're gonna be reading. We're
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: going to be reading this story in two different from
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: two different directions. That makes sense.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: I read the original books as they are.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's read the original books as they are are. Red,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: You're not rereading them. You read them already.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: I've read them like, I've read them a while ago,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: and I reread them because they were that good of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: a story, one of one of those stories where you
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: could definitely go back and reread. Devin is gonna Devin
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: is going to take a crack at reading the graphic
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: novels and manga.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they have recently a graphic Noveloks. I knew
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: about the Infernal Devices manga, and I've read I think
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 3: the first one of that. I need to go back.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: I read them obviously, Yeah, but I know about the
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: Infernal Devices, and relatively recently, within the last couple of years,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: they started doing the Mortal Instruments and right now they
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: have the up to the first four books. Yeah, but
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: the first four books done in the graphic novel or manga.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to start reading those because I've always
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: wanted to get into the world of the Shadow Hunters.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: I just never knew really where to start because from
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: when I read of the Infernal Devices, I liked it.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's okay, series, it.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: Was bugging me. So I looked up what the newest
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: series was and it's, uh, The Last Hours.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: The Last Hours.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely got to go back and read it.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be I think this one
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: is going to be back from Nope, it's so I'm
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: a different it's from somebody else's perspective, Okay, Yeah, after
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: the Mortal Instruments, the characters, it's no longer going to
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: be with the characters we are familiar with, maybe from
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: different characters perspectives, but.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the author of the series loves graphic novels,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: so she was real excited to get graphic novel graphic
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: novel and or manga adaptations of her stories. She's all
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: for it, apparently, big advocate for it. She's always she's
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: always wanted a good one, but she's ever had one
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: that completed the story until the Infernal Devices, and then
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: of course the one that's happening right now for the
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: Mortal Instruments, but sadly they only ever the only really
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: it's like a book or two a year, so I
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: don't know if I'm gonna be able to complete the
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: whole series before he gets to those books five and six.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: Well we'll see, but.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: All that, Yeah, definitely, the first couple of volumes I
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: think are just for the City of Bones alone.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: First. I think it's divided up into the first two books.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: The first two volumes are the is the first book.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: Next two volumes are the second book. I think they're
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 3: up the volume eight ring. It seems to be like
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: every two or three volumes that it's it's the next.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: Book, and there's like six there's six books in the
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: Mortal Instruments. Five or six books in the Mortal Instruments.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: So it's a long story. Not gonna lie. It's like,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: this is the longest story in hers series because every
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: after the Mortal Instruments, all the other ones have just
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: been trilogies. They haven't been as lengthy or as in depth.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: And I definitely want to go back and read it,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: like The Infernal Devices, starting with Clockwork Print Clockwork Angel,
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Yeah, I have that one and I keep
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: reading it, but for some reason, like I guess I'm
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: just not that into that one as the others, because
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: I've I like, I went back and checked, like how
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: far in the book I got for Clockwork, Angel says,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: I finished it, and I'm like, I have no idea
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: what it's about, Like I haven't a general I have
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: a general idea, but I totally forgot like what it
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: was about. I must have like skimmed through the book.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna definitely go back and reread it and
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: like absorb, soak up the the story because I got
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: through the Dark Artifa Artifices, and I remember the story
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: for the Artifice Dark Artifices, and I definitely remember the
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: story of the Mortal Instruments. But Clockwork print, the clockwork,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: the Infernal Devices. I guess it's because it's set in
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: the Victorian era England.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Victorian era.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: Victoria era England is probably one of my least favorite
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: like genres there, like that type of punk, it's never seen.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: I've never been that into steampunk Victorian like steampunk. It's
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: just never been I've never really found it interesting.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, we'll talk about the Infernal Devices because I'm
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: going to reread those where we read the manga. We're
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: finished reading the mong because I've probably read the first
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: one because those books came out in like the late
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 3: two something like the early early twenty ten when it
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: came out. Never went back and finished it when they
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: finished the manga. So but that one, they only have
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: three volumes. Each volume is one of the books, so
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: that'll be an easy read. But yeah, so thank you
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: all for listening today's episode. Catch the next time as
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: we start the Immortal Instruments, not mortal, not immortal, mortal, mortal,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: mortal instruments. Until then, such a mess.
