pickOh my gods, I need to scream and figure out exactly what in Dune‘s name is actually happening here. I‘m not even sure I know what happened at the very end. It‘s going to be a very long 2 years to wait for this next book.

Shannon_McKinney Can‘t believe we have to wait so long. 😭 2w
GingerAntics @Shannon_McKinney I do. She was pushing to burn out and worse with her speed. She needs to take care of herself. As long as she doesn‘t go Patrick Rothfuss on us, it‘ll be fine. … just after this one … this one hurts this morning. (edited) 1w
Liatrek Just finished and loved it too! 1w

GingerAntics @Liatrek I woke up early this morning and was REALLY messed up about the ending. I got some more sleep and I‘m feeling better about it. I‘d say there are two options, but I‘m betting on Yarros finding option 3, 4, or 9. 🤷🏼♀️ 1w
Chrissyreadit I loved it but that ending was crushing…. by ending last 20% of the book. I‘m wondering who else turned- Garrick? Bohdi? ugh!!!! 2 years at least! 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit why do you think they turned? I didn‘t even go there. My mind has been working out possibilities for Xaden, given that he married her (?) and then SHE chose to have Imogen take her memories. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit crushing was a great word for it, though. 1w
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics It‘s in the Xadens chapter that one of them turned. I am rereading this weekend. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I didn‘t have a Xaden chapter. I had a Bodi chapter I think. No Xaden this time. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit okay, now I really need to reread again. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit wait wait wait, multiple riders are missing with Xaden. Maybe they ALL turned. 1w
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I will let you know what page it is when i get home. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit all I‘m saying, is if this ends up being a version of Twilight with dragons where Jacob wins, I. AM. OUT. Yarros is WAY too good a writer for that. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit maybe they‘ve decided to take them out from within? That‘s why they‘re missing? lol 1w
Chrissyreadit What do you mean about Jacob wins? I don‘t think so. I think Violet and Xaden are end game. I wonder if she was influenced by How people change when injured or TBI and have to work hard to get back to who they want to be? i may be over thinking it. but xaden NEVER channels for Love of power- it‘s for love of violet and love for sgael 1w
Chrissyreadit and yes i think take them out from within may play a part!!! 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I was just thinking the same thing after I found Xaden‘s chapter and read it again. He only ever channels from the ground for Vi or Sygeal. All the other Venin channel for power. You‘re so right. I hadn‘t made the TBI link before. PTSD could also be an option. I think her husband is a veteran. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I just say that because she made a comment recently that Violet gets a HEA. I don‘t see that happening w/o Xaden, unless Sygeal‘s link to Tairn is somehow part of his link to Vi, so if Sygeal breaks the bond like Andarna did, Vi‘s feels lose intensity and then she falls for Aetos. 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit 1. I cannot wait to see why Andarna came back. There is definitely a story there. 2. Who are the other three missing riders? Did they turn or are they dead? 3. He married her, and “it‘s yours now” (what is “it”), but where did he go? OHMYGODS I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!!! I am NOT okay!!! 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I still have large sums of money on Aetos also having turned! Panchek was in no way a surprise. 1w
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I think she will save him- for many reasons. He held onto the thread of his love with her, sgael stayed… my guess is the missing riders include bhodi and/or were either venin and killed or are with Xaden. Violet knows his plan and agreed with it- that‘s why her memory is erased. It is Tyrrendor I believe. 1w
Chrissyreadit @GingerAntics I think Violet agreeing to break Andarnas bond provided proof to the irid of her value. I am certain they will be a big part of what happens. I also think Dunne will play a part- and here is what i also wonder- Does males hold the venins souls? Will it be a bargain with Malek for Xadens soul? and what does it cost? Something happened 600 years ago to end the venin reign…. 1w
Chrissyreadit Im really worried because Rebecca said someone we love will die. So we know it‘s not Dain…. my guess is Garrick, Imogene, Rhi or Ridoc but i‘m really hoping not any of them. Honestly i‘m shocked she did not kill Mira off. 1w
Chrissyreadit This is going to be a very very long two or so years… 1w
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit what‘s Tyrrendor? I‘m hoping Vi somehow proved herself to the Irid by letting Andarna make her own choice. So many people could die. As Xaden has said repeatedly (or I‘ve just read it so many times it feels repeated), this is a war, and people die in wars. I dunno. I feel like this book answered exactly zero questions from book 2 and just added questions to the list. Oof (edited) 6d
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit why do we know it‘s not Dain? 4d
Chrissyreadit Tyrrendor is the province Xaden is Duke of. Dain is a favorite character of Rebecca Yarros 4d
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit I know he‘s the Duke of Tyrrendor and now, apparently, Vi is the Duchess of Tyrrendor. That‘s fun to think about. Really? Dain is one of her favorite characters? I do not feel like this is good news for Xaden getting a HEA. I mean, at least Asher told Vi to “let go of” her “affection for” Dain. Here‘s hoping that‘s a good sign for Xaden. I still wonder what on earth he would think of her falling for Xaden. 😂🤣😂 4d
GingerAntics @Chrissyreadit just confirmed. Xaden was Duke of Aretia by birth (per Iron Flame), but now he‘s Duke of Tyrrendor. That dude has has so many Nobel titles. Next, she‘s going to drop that he‘s somehow distantly related to the English royal family. 🤣😂🤣 4d
