Trying to explain the meaning of “cognitive dissonance” to someone who read Fourth Wing and completely missunderstood the political and social commentary of the plot: “Cognitive dissonance is when you thought you were Violet, but actually you are Amber Mavis.”

Meryl Streep paying tribute to Robert Redford: “One of the lions has passed. Rest in peace my lovely friend.” Before Xaden was conceived, there was another sexy and misterious king of cool. It was Denys Finch-Hatton from Isak Dinesen’s Out of Africa, in the film played by Robert Redford. 🫠 RIP.

"A good book gets better at the second reading. A great book at the third. Any book not worth rereading isn't worth reading." –Nassim Nicholas Taleb #booksky

"Fourth Wing," the first book in the Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros, is being adapted by Amazon. Here's who we would cast in the upcoming Prime Video series.

‘Game of Thrones’ premiered 14 years ago today on HBO. I just hope Amazon Studios does Fourth Wing justice and rises its standards in terms of production values to match the greatest fantasy series of all time. #GameOfThrones #FourthWing

"It only takes one desparate generation to change history - even erase it .... One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history." - #FourthWing, Rebecca Yarros.

Divergent walked, so that Fourth Wing could fly

“One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history.” -Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing.

Brave the dark.

Second person that highlight this connection to me. I’m definitely going to find that author RIGHT NOW.

Unbelievable! Straight from The Handmaid’s Tale 📚💙

rebecca yarros put "ordinary" by alex warren on the official playlist for onyx storm after we all collectively as the book community adopted that song to be the anthem for violet & xaden. I AM UNWELL 😭🩶 #booksky

Unless Xaden warded it…😉 #resist #BraveTheDark #fourthwing #ironflame #onyxstorm #bookinspiration #booksky 📚💙 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️

Time to “Brave the dark”: Distributed by a legal aid group, the “red card” lays out key rights and protections. Demand for them has surged since Trump returned to office. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u... #OnyxStorm #booksky 📚💙 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️

No doubt Divergent’s Four character was the inspiration for Fourth Wing’s Xaden 📚💙 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️ #Divergent #FourWing #IronFlame #OnyxStorm #TheoJames #booksky #books #fantasy #SciFi

All of the dragons 🐉 names in #FourthWing are Scottish Gaelic words and they actually have a meaning (Tairn = thunder). Scottish Gaelic (Gaidhlig) is the language once spoken across the Highlands. Today it is presumed to have less than 80,000 native speakers. 📚💙 #gaelic #gàidhlig #scottishgaelic

“Welcome to Basgiath War College, where survival is optional, but looking badass is mandatory. ⚔️🐉” …🙌 #fourthwing

Minneapolis-based columnist Abbie Wells talks about starting a puzzle while listening to "Fourth Wing" and describes their busy life with activities such as watching "Love Island All Stars," reading, looking for an apartment, and getting ready for the Super Bowl in this week's Abbie's Adventures.

It’s called the #fourthwing syndrome. An incurable condition. I hope. 📚💙 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️

Good point! 🖖🔥 #FourthWing dragon vs wyvern specs

The challenge is to keep slowly savoring #IronFlame while dodging #OnyxStorm spoilers #booksky 📚💙 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️

Fans of dark romance, SciF, #romantasy check out The Gorge in Apple+. Plus, did I mention Miles Teller is in it?

OMG! #RebeccaYarros and her husband are #Violet and #Xaden in real life. 📚💙 #booksky

Rebecca Yarros, who has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome did a fantastic job in terms of representation by creating a compelling heroine with a physical disability. EDS is not mentioned in the book, but #VioletSorrengail is known to have the same condition as the author. #FourthWing #booksky 📚💙

SOOOO beautiful! #FourthWing and #IronFlame Korean Special Edition. 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️ #booksky #books 📚💙 #violetsorrengail #xaden

Love, in all its forms, is worth celebrating. And yes. To be in love with a fictional character counts as love. Happy Valentine day! 📚💙 🐉🖤✨ ⚔️ #Xaden

Banned books. The end of free society starts here.

Today I wish Imogen could wipe out my memories and I could enjoy #FourthWing for the first time.

No entiendo la necesidad de ponerse creativos y homologar todos los títulos de la saga en español para "ALAS" ( #AlasDeSangre , #AlasDeHierro y #AlasDeOnyx ) Además que el "wing" de #FourthWing a lo que hace referencia es a la unidad militar (en singular) y no a la anatomía de un ser alado. 🧵

I just realized that inherent characteristics of different languages, including the length of words, sentence structure, etc, may result in translated versions of books taking up more physical space than the original version. Check out this HUGE German edition of #IronFLame #booksky #RebeccaYarros

My kind of cult. 😉

I’m afraid AI has ruined it for us! There’s no chance they will find a real human being (with or without acting skills) to match #AI #fandom #Xaden for the #FourWing series.

Seen today in the NYT: “Escape into Romantasy” #OnyxStorm #romantasy

What’s up? This 👇😊 #FourthWing #XadenRiorson

So many interesting things I didn’t even know existed before landing into #FourthWing… group buddy read is not for me. But, if it promotes reading and community, it’s gotta be something good. 😊 #booksky

Bulgarian Edition of #FourthWing & #IronFlame. Those covers in Cyrillic alphabet are just beautiful!
