I have checked KU and find it seems to offer even more than you describe. I found in Settings an option for Assistive Reading which works even on books without the Read banner. Even more excitingly, at least for me (!), is that it also gives audio for books in foreign languages. Reallv, I know it is only 6 days in, but I am already calling this as one of my best days of 2025. I am truly grateful to you.

I found your content very useful, and presented with a pleasant style, always a bonus, and not a given in booktube! In particular, KU, which I continued after a free trial, and like very much bc it gives me books in other languages, and gives me The Independent newspaper daily, as well as Time magazine, but I feel stupid for not noticing some titles come with audio; I will be checking that out in a moment. Everand is a new name to me and I will check that shortly. I use Librivox a lot, but the standard of narration is very varied; I persevere, bc I do like to read the classics, and it does have a great catalogue of those. I will subscribe even though I am unsure our tastes in books match anywhere (!!!), but who knows, maybe I will try one of your recommendations. Thanks for a very watchable video.

@williammorris72793 күн бұрын
@amynsreads Yes, since lockdown I have had time to re-visit many books I read in my teens, and finding that with quite a few, it is like reading them afresh (e.g. I discovered that my intense dislike of Dickens still endures!). Last year was rather scatter-shot: all of George Eliot, plus some Virginia Woolf, most of Dorothy Sayers, and some F. Scott Fitzgerald, with light relief in Wodehouse, and, following a tip from a language youtuber, refreshing my languages with vol 1 of Harry Potter in French and German, (a bit of a cheat, with a lot of help from the excellent Kindle translate facility, but fun because the vocabulary and syntax are relatively easy, and the plot is known). I decided I should be a bit more methodical, so my main focus this year is foreign books, in translation mostly, but am going to try a couple in the original. Overall, I am very ignorant of modern fiction, and I will be following your channel with deep interest to see what I am missing, as I would like to have a secondary focus on getting more up-to-date (was dabbling with the Booker Prize, but am still open).

I saw one theory that I’m a really invested in: Naolin is not dead, he is now venin. We’re led to believe he died saving Brennan “but it cost him everything.” I think it’s very possible only this “dark magic” could bring someone back from the dead and taking power from the earth was the only way to save Brennan (similar to how Xaden did it for violet). Some went as far to say Naolin IS the Sage. But I’m not sure if that’s necessary. Maybe there’s a “court” or “board of directors” venin, like it’s not just a single leader (the sage). If that’s the case, then maybe Naolin is there
@big.pizzle6 ай бұрын
this is such an interesting theory. If he is the Sage, it would explain why the Sage wants something from Violet.
@amynsreads5 ай бұрын
I have heard this theory as well and I’m really trying to understand how the dragon can sever ties with the rider. I think you’re right he is still alive and the only way to save Brennan was doing that because there wasn’t enough power even with Tairn. But when will he come back and will Violet redeem them all???
@amynsreads5 ай бұрын
Then it’s interesting does he want her because he knows she is the key or because they’re actually all bad?
@dinivaneck52094 ай бұрын
I was thinking that Naolin might be the Sage or at least venin too... Until I realized that becoming venin does not remove your bond from your dragon - or so it seems with Jack and Xayden. So if Naolin was alive, he would still be bonded to Tarin and Tarin wouldn't have bonded Violet.

I'm not saying I think Mira is going to turn out to be the bad guy, but I do think there's something going on there with her. She doesn't seem to fully believe in Violet, as evidenced by the way she talked about Violet to Lilith at the beginning of Fourth Wing. She kept talking about how weak Violet was and how she would never be able to survive in the Riders Quadrant, and I think Mira's a little bitter that Violet succeeded so well. Rebecca mentions a few times in the books that Mira always has to be right about everything and be the best at everything and I think she's going to be kinda mad that she's being outshone by Violet, who Mira didn't even think could survive until Threshing. I also think that she's mad that both Violet and Brennan knew about the revolution and everything going on with the venin and wyvern before she did, and she certainly had a different reaction to finding out that Brennan is alive than Violet did. I don't know what she's going to do, but I just don't completely trust her. Also I 100000% agree that Rebecca better not let anything happen to Tairn. He is one of the best characters in the entire series and I love his grumpy-but-still-loving dad energy. If he dies then my entire world will shatter like Xaden's window😭✋

I have a different theory about the titles. You say they each just have one meaning but I would propose they each have two. Fourth Wing- the wing VI’s squad is in but also in bonding two dragons Vi got four wings instead of the usual 2. Iron Flame- from the instructions to set up the ward stone but also Vi’s squad could be considered the iron flame, thy are the iron squad and are in flame section, so they are also the iron flame. It’s highly possible that Onyx Storm could have a double meaning. My guess is that it relates to both Xaden and the wyvern. (Or any of the million other possibilities)
