I will never look at the quote “we don’t eat our allies” the same again 😂😂
OK yeah I was confused at that part because I don’t remember Xaden saying we don’t eat our allies, so I’m confused can you help me understand that because I don’t remember him saying that
@mialake7222 Tairn said it and they were joking because Xaden went down on Violet. He ate an ally....
Same!!!!
@@jeannieghelardini8398 😱😱😱😱OHHHHHHHHHHHH!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That’s awesome! I didn’t get that clearly but now I do
Thank u sm! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
FACTS LMAO😭
Just wanted to say I’m a 34 y/o male blue collar worker that’s here fan girling with y’all.
I’m a 29 year old man and here I am fan girling after my sister in law hyped up the series!!! 😂
32 year old man. Just discovered this series this last weekend. Listened to both of the audiobooks in 3.5 days. I’m the same, I’m excited about this next book!
I'm 34 and I'm on the same boat! 😅
27 year old man and I am also here obsessed with the series lol
King! 👑
12:21 I don't want a prequel. I want a short story from the perspective of a shepherd
Yessssss😂
This is one of the best author interviews! I love the fangirling questions and moments mixed with questions that were deeper and writer based. Rebecca Yarros was so funny and personable. Such a fun interview!!
I know she’s so engaging and funny! A lot of writers are pretty shy with interviewing. She’s great
If violet doesn’t get a cure, she’s definitely going to turn into venim. She loves that man. He said even death (whatever the word they call it) can’t keep him from her
Malek?
I would love it if there was a prequel specifically on Lilith and her husband on how they met and fall in love. 🙏
i think we’d have to get the third book first book first bc a huge theory in the fandom is either of violets parents possible having been venin/part venin
I think realistically that wouldn’t add to the storyline at all. It might actually dismantle it. We’re supposed to be yearning for understanding and growth just like the characters. The backstory on the parents would add more humanity to their mother and Violet is rather descriptive of her father. But the ending of iron flame adds the necessary humanity to their mother. If anything the only prequel we need is Brennon after he disappeared and the start of the revolution.
I’m eating up every second of this interview! Rebecca Yarros is freaking brilliant with her story telling!
Love how her hair changes to violet towards the end. It's very Violet.
Violet's second signet has got to be some psychic power.
this series better end with Violet and Xaden endgame and the dragons all existing. 🥺
RY is really good about making sure her main character loves are endgame. I'm hoping she doesn't break my heart and change course.
I hope so too!! @@111firiek5
She can write whatever she likes. It's her story to tell.🤷🏻♀️
I'd suggest reading her contemporary romance books, she is BRUTAL about breaking readers' hearts! Be prepared.
I don't like sad endings and I was just saying my opinion, no need to be rude. SMH. @@debbieturk9241
Is Iron Flame the last book in the series?
CAN'T WAIT FOR BOOK 3!!! GOSH I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Sammeeeeee
I'm dying for the next publication!! I've just finished reading Iron Flame and desperate waiting for the next book 😭😭
I read a fan theory today that both Violet and Xaden are demigods. Violets dad is Malek which is why she Liam was allowed to come visit her and Xaden’s mom is Dunne.
As a dude who loves urban fantasy, and totally believes that that is why things like Harry Potter, and even twilight, we😊re so successful because they were realistic, I am so here for when she says she wrote these to bring people into the genre that did not normally read it because I have despised High fantasy until these books.
Just wanted to say I’m a 40 male who’s enjoying the Empyrean Series a lot!!!
Omggg not me thinking Xaden was white hahaha I missed a lot 😂 love it
I’m really excited for book 3!
It's so interesting to hear the difference in pronunciation of words that the Americans use to say the character names and places etc. My pronunciation is completely different.
I totally relate! Peace out from Indonesia 😂
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
ABOUT SECOND SIGNET
👇👇👇👇👇
Her second signet is prophetic dreams!! She foresaw Xaden turning Venin in her dreams, she just assumed the dreams were about her, not him
OMG THIS IS SO SMART AND I FORGOT ABT THAT
I thought it was his nightmares that slipped into her mind while sleeping
Which chapter?
@naseehajaffar7213 there are several chapters where she wakes up from dreams about the Venin head guy. In her dreams, she thinks he's always addressing her, but in the end, you realize that she was seeing everything from Xaden's perspective.
@nerdgirl8978 maybe her gift is "dream creeper" 🤷♀️ but I do hope it's prophetic dreams as the former doesn't sound as fancy 😂
I feel like nobody ever compares it to Divergent which I think it resembles most with the different fractions and quadrants her havign to prove herself as she was least likely to be a rider. I haven't gotten through the whole interview but it is always hunger games and harry potter and Game of Thrones. So weird to me
When I was telling my friends about the book, I said Divergent vibes so yes i agree!
I said the same thing! I don't really get a lot of Hunger Games vibes (maybe Mockingjay) but it's very heavy hitting on Divergent!
When I was in the first chapters, I automatically remembered Divergent.
I’ve said the same thing
Divergent was one of the first things I thought of reading this series! The entire experience of being a 1st year reminded me of Tris becoming Dauntless. And Xaden is very similar to Four in ways.
Thank You so much for this interview! It satisfied my questions...... for now.
Xaden better survive!! He better not turn full venin!!
Can’t wait for the tv series!! I wonder who they will choose to play Xaden. Praying he is a sexy as he is in the book! 😂😅
Me to 😊
In my head, I imagine Rome Flynn 🥹!!
Tall dark and handsome ❤
I really am hoping it’s not Jacob Elordi just for the height 🙄
@@mae4062 Rome Flynn is only 5’9”, so he’s too short. The author said Xaden is 6’4”.
I just listened to the 2 books in Audiobook format under this week, and I am totaly emotionally drained now.😅😂 ..Im so nervous for Xaden's future after the book 2 ending. I hope they will end up dying of old age, happy in each other's arms in the last book. The record/history texts that pops up in the beginning of chapters makes me nervous. I dont want them to end up with short lives. 😬
It seems we were both doing the same thing lol. Finished listening to the second book couple of minutes ago and I am still in denial
I have a theory that the dedication means it’s a gift from jesinia after all of the horrible stuff is finally over, like as a congratulations for making it through to violet.
@@kaytlinirwin8426
I will go with that plan! 😁👍🏼
@@nerdgirl8978 it’s the only thing keeping me sane 😂
@@kaytlinirwin8426
Have you read "A court of Thorns and roses"-series by Sarah J Maas? I read it after, and it cured my Xaden abstinence 😄. The Maine love interest (Rhys) are almost the same person with the same powers. (I think Yarros might have taken some amount of inspiration from that series. (Though..now I have abstinence from those books too. 😅)
I am happy that she mostly said "book 3" so I know the answers to those questions are coming sooner rather than later in book 5. My favorite character is Tairn. Violet was a bit annoying in Iron flame.
I enjoyed this interview.
Tairn is my favorite too! Violet is great and relatable but fair I vibe with more
It’s because she is gunna answer our questions but give us more questions 😂
Violets second signet is dream walking.
Agreed, based on us thinking she was dreaming about the general / sage and it was Xaiden
I am on Iron Flame and I am very excited about the faithful adaptation of the Fourth Wing! ❤❤
Have I ever read this lady's books? No. Did I watch the whole interview?. Yes, yes I did.
I really need book 3 now!!!
So excited a whole book is dedicated to Andarna !
I like the comparison to triage she mentioned and how relatable it is. When you are in the thick of it, war, the goal is efficiency and success of mission. Good or bad, you have to keep working or the mission fails, and potentially you or someone else dies because of your mistake. So many times emotional things are filed away for later…unfortunately it is not necessarily healthy but def realistic. Healthiest would be to deal with it as soon after as possible and if not, you may end up in one of the locked hospitals 20 years later.
Great interview/book club. Side note, for me, the music made it difficult to focus on the discussion.
OMG REBECCA IS A LEGEND. I enjoyed this interview immensely thank you so much.🖤🖤🖤
But hello Rebecca !! This is the First book I’ve ever read in my Adult life. I just made my way over to Iron flame.! I am so happy to be apart of the Imperian series fan club.
I was upset about Liam’s Death also.
OBSESSED WITH THE SERIES ❤📖
What a great interview! I think Violet 2nd signet will be a Distance Wielder!
Did you read the second book?
This was a lot of fun to watch&listen to. I hope ya’ll do this again. Future author recommendation: Fonda Lee author of the Greenbone Saga.
I cant wait for the next book! 😍😍😍
I would have asked the question that has been bugging me since fourth wing. Which is where did Imogen go during the squad battle reward, when they all went to the outpost with Mira? She has the ability to erase memories so where did she go? Is that going to be explained in book three?
Omw ❤
I'm from South Africa. My daughter begged me to read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame.
Sooo many emotions on the same time, page after page. I've never read books as good as these.
Can't wait for book 3, but I wonder if my heart is going to hold on so long before I can read it.😊
I've read both books twice now just for in case I've missed something.
Thx Rebecca ❤
Omg same... I'm obsessed with this series.... So upset we couldn't get the sprayed edge limited editions
Loved this
Amazinggggg we 💚 u miss Yarros
I was laughing my heart when she said “I’ll slap debut on Dain” it was prestine and as a swiftie I agree 100%
I think it would've been great if Rebecca would've been part of the writers' room. I really fear that the series misses the details that only she knows and that the quality is way lower like with what has happened to Eragon.
LOVE RIDOC!
amazing to listen a legend
I noticed Jack in book 1 too. I realized he was different and not dead.
Question (I haven’t finished the vid yet) what rating will the Amazon tv show be
why Mira has not changed but Dain has changed a lot. Vi have not seen sister for years and everything ok but there are issues with Dain and Brennan, they seems different to her
10:01 ohh there's a book threeee🫠🫠🙃
Watching this video a few months later when it got released. I think Xadens mom is the sage and Xadens trying to get in touch with her to figure out how to stop the attacks. The reason why the sage wants Violet is so she can get closer to Xaden and use that to her advantage. Idk though, guess we’ll find out 😂
Great escapism series
21:31 well I will read it carefully now as so far am in the scene where xaden fights with Jarret for the pass
Such a wonedful interview and a Lovely lady
20:33 well am into the genre now
22:40 oh we have theories now
She says that if you bring people back from the dead you lose the stakes so she doesn´t like it yet she did it twice already lol
Who did she bring back from the dead?
@@bubbletea_kittyJack Barlowe and Brennan Sorrengail lol
@@amandacascardo7211 Well jack was never confirmed, my friend kept telling me he was probably alive(prior to iron flame). But yeah I guess she did with Brennan.
Brennan I guess wasn't confirmed dead either. I'm assuming Varrish isn't dead either.
@@111firiek5 I have thought that too. Although I'd like to think the dagger to the heart, and Violet memorizing the life fading out of him counts as confirmation.
I am so excited for book 3 and the furure tv series ❤❤❤
Is it true is their gonna be a TV series
11:51 that's Comforting
HOW is Xaden 6ft 4 and violet 5ft 2? HOW does it work
Im curious as to why people think her signet is Distance wielding. There isnt anything in the book to really hint at that and Rebecca said that it's already manifested. I think im more inclined to it having to do with dreams in some way.
Does this video have spoilers for Iron Flame aswell or just fourth wing? Xx
If you love these books, go check out Lindsay Broker's many series. Too good.
27:37 oh there's something there
I want to know if Xaddy’s mom is a venin and if the sage is related to him too. Like when did he tell him he would change for love. Like when?!?
Ok but to be fair with the “😏🌶️” scenes we have to remember Violet is hyper mobile so she is bendy. So ngl I am not surprised at some of the stuff involved in that bc I am hyper mobile lol 😅
5:56 oh 😂😂😂
13:15 well obviously
I guess maybe violet is going to be a distance wielder 🤔what you guys think ?
Release Book 3 early plssss
I bet it doesn’t have a happy ending 😂I’m all for it though !
My guess about Violets second signet: She can see someones fate.
1:51 😂😂😂
I need to stop looking into these. I’m half way through fourth wing and I keep finding spoilers online 😭
Same but I’m half way through iron flame
Whole book in one song: Teeth performed by G-Nation
21:01 SOBBING
Oh!! she very beautiful❤
I'm completely lost with the Taylor Swift questions. Lol
what did she say about dain and taylor swift,which album she mentioned for him?
Debut
I wonder why ViolenCE instead of ViolenT 🧐🧐 - LOVE LOVE LOVE this series
Violent is an adjective whereas Violence is a noun. And since names of people are nouns, therefore violence.
Please pressure her to release book 3 before next December ! We can’t wait !!
She literally said it’s so she can be healthy. We absolutely can wait 🙄
She already released 2 books in one year which in itself is insane. If you want quality, have patience and let the order take her time with the books.
She’s misleading people about the idea. She was given an outline for what each book should be by her publisher
proof or source?
YES!!!! Liam will not be coming back. I love her perspective because it’s what I’m feeling, she can’t bring anyone back. Death came and that’s it, we must grieve and move on. So I’m glad to hear her say this because the theory do Liam coming back has me so unsettled. Like no, why? No thanks.
😦 "Marie!?"
I love this interview but please pleeeease if there’s a next one don’t all talk at once 😩😩 I can barely understand parts and even the captions can’t pick up what everyone is saying all at once 😢
Great interview. Wish there was more diversity in the room.
30:23 is a a black poc, or just poc? Like, middle eastern, Asian, African?
I think Xaden has been venin all along because his eyes had red rims on them when violet came to him in the snow and kissed him for the first time in fourth wing. And he was just high… or was he?
You just open my eyes I never noticed that thank you!!
Wait jacks name wasn’t called after his death???
No I thought that was odd when I was reading and I guess there was a reason 😂
Who did she say that she imagined as Tairn's voice?
Idris Elba !
She really needs to look at what happens when you let writers do whatever they want with a book to film, see divergent, fifth wave, the first hunger games, movie, all of those directors and screen writers messed up and with the hunger games the first film nearly ended the whole series! With fifth wave They messed it up so bad that it was actually set for a three-movie deal they canceled the other two films the other two books and just let it go at just the first film because the writer, Akiva, Goldsmith, messed it up! This is my fear. This is absolutely my fear! Never give full control of your content to screenwriters and directors, because they will mess it up!
Hunger games was fine for content, it wouldn't have been perfect. It did very very well compared to others, it isnt like Twilight where the first few movies were word for word. They did very very well on twilight. It was Divergent and 5th wave. Especially Insurgent and Allegiant.
I fear more of a repeat of Eragon proportions....they messed up so much in that movie....
Does she ever confirm that xaden and violet are endgame?
I’d love to see more diversity in the books and in this interview
Did they really compare it to game of thrones? Does this mean EVERY story that has a dragon is "a bit of Game of Thrones". -_-
With the painful character hits and deaths I’d say it does
Waittt xaden is coloured!!!?????!!?
It says he has dark skin in the description in the book haha
Maby just a nice deep tan
@@cillaheydenreich1320that's how I imagine him
Bronze sun, dark hair and dark eyes….
I don’t think I would watch the movie, they would ruin it. Movies ruin good books. Like Game of Thrones
13:39 these lady talks ahhh!!!
26:03 even the author says to not keep secrets such a stubborn charecter of "xaden "
? Hair back age book adult make those choices ,?
chiq-lit
All writers wear black? Ok
They actually said 'riders', referring to the book
@@irisvan9588 hah! Got it now. I have read the book, but I heard 'writers' not 'riders'. Thanks!
