More Thoughts on the Empyrean

 I really hope Ms. Yarros will consider doing Lilith & Asher's story eventually because it sounds like the story of the Sorrengail children - especially Violet's - really begins with their parents' story.

I also think the "curing" of a 'venin infection' lies in their making and the Barrens may have tons of unaccessed 'forgotten' libraries (perhaps warded against Venin?) with much lost knowledge pertaining to things, including a 'cure' or reversal/retrieval of the condition. 

I also have this thought that extreme cold can feel a lot burning, perhaps the soul isn't   burned away and lost, but spiritually 'iced over.'  Most especially for those who only turned to protect loved ones and not for Jealousy, greed, or power.  If they're strong enough, they might maintain a part of their humanity.    It's that line "turning for love."  

When did Venin first begin to be a problem?  I was thinking Irids, Andarna's clan of Dragons, are pacifist mostly; by choice or nature?  I wonder if they could have been the Dragon version of "knowledge keepers" of all Dragon Clans and their 'shared knowledge' but was also the clan that knows how to reverse the Venin infection.  Another hint is also all the times Xaden tells Violet that she'll be the death of him.  Perhaps, a way to resurrect his lost pieces of soul?  I'm sure each Dragon Clan has secret 'clan only' secrets only known by each clan that would not be shared with outsiders.  I also believe Theophanie told Violet that Venin lies.

It will be interesting to see how the next books turn out.

Re-Listening to Fourth Wing

 So, I have this new theory about Jack Barlow.  So, it seems more than a coincidence that he was the person right behind Violet.  What if some of those guards at General Sorrengail's office report to Colonel Aetos? (or was he a Major?  I forget) and were told to let him know what the General does in regard to her youngest child, Violet.  I mean, he must have had some inkling that Lilith must have suspected him of some kind of duplicity, but had no proof and was playing the long game.  So, while it was expected for Violet to go into the Scribes Quadrant, he had to suspect that she might throw Violet into the Riders Quadrant and planned ahead just in case.   Jack Barlow could have been someone he and his associates were grooming to become an initiate at some later point, and assigned Violet as his task. Perhaps he had Violet pointed out at some point so that he'd follow her to accomplish his task, which might have been to find the information her fa...

  It was never our continent. From the very beginning, it was theirs, and we were simply allowed to live here. —The Journal of Warrick of Luceras —Translated by Cadet Violet Sorrengail - Iron Flame Page  731, beginning of chapter 56 (Kindle Cloud Reader version) by Rebecca Yarros (The Empyrean Series) AI Overview In Rebecca Yarros's fantasy series,  The Empyrean , the traditional and ancestral hatching grounds for dragons are located in several distinct regions. The Empyrean is the term for the unified dragonkind within this world.   Hatching grounds in Navarre The Vale (Steelridge Range):  After the Great War and the Unification, the dragons designated this sacred valley behind Basgiath War College as their primary communal hatching ground.

Eggs and young dragons are protected here until they are mature enough to fend for themselves. The v...
