@hammi_2: I’m reading Threshing Day right nowwwww and I’m taking notes as I go!! #fourthwing #theempyreanseries #rebeccayarros #xadenriorson #darkromantasybooks

Jess Drendel :

I think it’s worth noting that she followed up that statement by saying something along the lines of “Liam had to die to remind everyone that we are sending 20 and 21 y/o’s into war.” These barely-out-of-childhood characters die because they are in a war that kills them and it’s worth remembering that war is not glamorous or honorable. I thought that was a very poignant statement to make

Shannnnnnnnon G :

Our favorite character is Jack everybody OK our favorite character is Jack

aubrifiedchaos :

unpopular opinion I guess.. but I don't like when authors do that.. we know that you have autonomy over this book we know that you can do whatever you want in this book.. the fact that you have to show that and show your power within the book to kill a character that everybody really liked.. that rubs me the wrong way.. it gives power Trip in the worst way..idk

Lu’sBooks📚 :

As long as Ridoc is happy and safe

✨N A T I✨ :

She said a fantasy book without high stakes is meh ! And I totally agree. And of course it has to hurt as hell - that’s why it was Liam

Jazz • Mom x2☕️🩷💙 :

The moment she touches a single scale on Tairns body I will immediately burn all the books. I’m not playing about Tairn.

Morgs 🪴🖤🏳️‍🌈 :

Okay but also, that’s lowkey kind of a gross statement from her

🪭 :

That’s not right cause i literally balled my eyes out when Liam got k!lled off I can’t

Jennifer rose🌙 :

I know Quinn wasn’t that big of a character but Imogens reaction to her death hit me HARDDD!!!!

Daisy (Taylor's Version) :

She also says “sending 20 and 21 year olds to war to die will do just that, they have to die” otherwise there are no stakes and “nothing will change if we dont see the very real consequences of sensing them to die thwy have to die” (im paraphrasing but it is essentially that which is even more heartbreaking

Nevaeh Rose🥀🖤 :

Ridoc was a lot more involved in onyx storm, i am mentally preparing myself bro😭

karomientje :

Please not Ridoc 🥲🥲

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊⋆ :

Ridoc, Garrick, or Imogen would wreck me. Xaden or Violet (more likely both) and I’d never recover 😭

Hannah||sourdough||gardening|| :

If I know one thing about Rebecca as an author it is that she is a killer 😂💀

Yas🇧🇷 :

I also think it was to make the statement “A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead” clear, because up until that point, I didn’t even really pay attention to that sentence, you know? And then when Liam dies, I’m like, “Oh, that’s what happens.”

marlie!📚🦈 :

she better not touch Ridoc

Krystal :

if she kills ridoc, its over for me

⋆˚꩜｡ :

She better not touch my boys Xaden or Tairn

Julianna Stone :

I would almost prefer her to do Pierce Browns method put everyone in a hat except the narrator and pick them that way because yes it’s heart breaking but this way he would have had a chance of making it.

secretsauce :

im certain she’s going to start dropping characters like flies.

111 :

Ridoc nooo

FloridaFlower :

lils :

Didn’t she also say that he had no room for character development and that he was already made to be perfect? Which made him the expendable one?

Rodnisha Cobbs :

i knew not to play wit Rebecca after i read the last letter… she don’t mf play🥴😭

🩷alyssa🩷 :

As soon as I read Ridoc start demanding Violet have a limit with Xaden I started crying bc I KNOW that's gonna be what kills him, protecting Violet is going to be what kills Ridoc. Liam all over again
