Threshing Day (Standard Edition)

There are so many tiny details hidden in the stories of each person. Through those stories we see the characters just the way they are because we get their POV and they need to be brutally honest with their dragons. Also, we get to know more about the dragons and how they communicate. The chapters in Onyx Storm (no spoiler) where we get different POVs and a first glimpse at the relationships between other riders and their dragons were my favourite. So, it is not surprising that I loved Threshing Day just because we got more of these interactions. I want to re-read Fourth Wing and bawl my eyes out now, thank you very much.

Threshing Day ist genau das, was wir gebraucht haben, um die Wartezeit für Band 4 zu versüßen. Dreizehn einzigartige Einblicke in geliebte Charaktere, die einen emotional zurücklassen (und möglicherweise einige Fragen aufwerfen). Und von den wunderschönen Illustrationen brauchen wir gar nicht erst reden!

I loved these short stories. Not only, did I get answers to a few of my many questions but I also learned a few more things which I am just excited about. Rebecca is feeding us again so much good stuff, I had to read it twice and now I am rereading the entire series.

You say, it’s not worth a book full of pov’s ?! You are totally wrong! This book gives us the insight on the characters, their feelings, history and how they feel about basgiath and the war. Some pov’s let us understand the handling more and some gives us more insight on how the bonds actually work. You will devour this book, I promise you.

After waiting almost two years for more, getting to return to this world felt so incredibly good. I genuinely love and hate this at the same time. I went into it knowing I was probably going to devour it, but somehow I still wasn’t prepared for how quickly I flew through it. I'm still not quite sure if I finished the book or if it finished me, but at this point I don't mind it. Experiencing Threshing Day from different perspectives is such a fun addition to the Empyrean world. It feels like getting little pieces of the world and more insight into each of the characters and their bonds with their dragons. Sadly no dragon-POV, but she did say that it wouldn't happen. "The dragons know too much" YEA OKAY REBECCA. Some stories definitely hit harder (Xaden, Liam, Sloane...) than others, but overall, I enjoyed every single one. And yes, there are definitely moments that made me stop and stare at the page for a second (Liam!!!) Rebecca knows exactly how to give us just enough to make us desperately want more, but we already knew that, too. Some of these lines are stuck in my head and I cannot for the life of me stop thinking about them. And now I am left with the very predictable problem of wanting more. Again. Also, the dragons are so funny. I absolutely love their attitude and how they reveal major facts so nonchalantly. This being said, I will go touch some grass, hug a tree and then continue to cry my eyes out, because "It's our sacred duty. An honor, really."
