Also enjoy our summary book notes: Chapter 1: • Mom and sister argue over Vi becoming a rider. • Dad's heart issue began after brother died. • Vi doesn't identify as a rider. • Fever blamed for her hair. • Dad knew about andarna, does mom know too and sending violet for that reason too? • I wonder if mom treats violet differently because she is too much like her father. • Dragon scales Armour with a size power 😆. • talk about tattoo relics. She notes to not to talk to him 🤣 • Captain fitzgibbons (later traitor dude). • Switches her boot. • Thirsts over xaden. Chapter 2: • Storm worsens. • Barlow pissy. • Clever way to tell us about history while also solidifying her book worm personality. • Relistened / read 9min • Why is Barlow like this? Says she doesn't belong. Like guys who join military in hopes to shoot. Chapter 3: • "Many of you will die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make". • Thankfully she gets her boot back. • Dain arrives, thirsty, first time seeing him since he gained a power. Touched her back and elbow. • At this point xaden knows about dains signet, right? • Dain takes her to his room, wraps her knee, tension in the room. • She's so forward and confident with flirting. • Feels like she breaks the fourth wall to tell us things. • Dain tries to make her escape. • Cadets from all over? • Joins formation, Panchek speaking (unknown signet). • 3 squad in a section, and 3 section in 4 wings. • Does the Rebecca Yarros have a battalion formation guide and mark off cadets as they are killed off to maintain formations? • Squad switch to fourth wing. • Dragons arrive - Brave heart memories. • At this point originally I wondered how she knew dragons wouldn't admit to being wrong. • Sgaeyl brings this scene up later i believe. Chapter 4: • Run down of what the year will look like. • Meets sawyer and Riddick. • Dain and Violet speak bird, grabs her elbow, worries about assassination. • On the constant look out for touching and shadows. • You want to be a rider, don't you violet? (SpongeBob "you like crabby patties don't you squidward ") • I didn't realize how quickly dain tells us his signet! • Vi has a spidey sense before seeing xaden and he tilts his head when he sees her, reading her?! Chapter 5: • Mama sorrengail disagreed with the children of the rebellions. • In class, professor Devera and Markham (meant to work for him). • At this point griffins are attacking because they are being attacked, right? • Barlow "I'm not the one who thinks pre-cognition is a thing" • Spidey sense went off • Xaden knows the motive already of the griffins. • Does Markham know everything at this point? • What were the griffins riders looking for again? • In the sparring ring for the first time, Vi thirsty lol, Professor Emetterio (combat teacher) • Barlow took someone out, Vi fights Imogen, assassination attempt (what was her signet again?) • Broken arm.
