Why Violet’s Second Signet May Not Be Speaking With The Dead

A compelling theory about theEmpyreanseries is that Violet ’s second signet has beenstaringFourth Wingreaders in the font . It project that Violet can speak with the dead . When she is being tortured by Varrish inIron Flame , she hallucinates Liam and converses with him . Violet instantly thinks:“You’re not really here . You ’re a hallucination from pain and dehydration . A mirage . ”Liam can reply to her thoughts . The substitution , along with Yarros ’ penchant for concealment revelation in plain lot , hasled many to speculate that her 2nd signet is mediumship . This imply likely contact with her father inOnyx violent storm .

However , anIron Flameplot detail complicates this theory – while in the torture chamber , Violet has been fed the newly introduced serumthat dampens the cadets ’ flying lizard communicating and signet abilities . While on the blood serum , she ca n’t communicate through her adherence with Xaden , Tairn , and Andarna , nor can she mobilize her lightning abilities or any others that may manifest . As Violet acknowledge in chapter 35 , Liam could be her subconscious telling her what she needs to hear to get through the experience . Yarros has confirmed that she opt Liam to avoid confusing the reader with Violet hallucinating Xaden ( perEntertainment Weekly ) .

Liam As A Spirit Visitation Is Also Unlikely

As much as have ghosts in theEmpyreanseries ’ universe would make for great reading , it , unluckily , seems like it ’s unlikely Liam is a spiritual trial . Firstly , this is given context in the traditional knowledge in the chapter itself . When the image of Liam says that perhaps Malek ( god of end ) sent him as a kindness , Violet refutes it – “ Malek does n’t do forgivingness . Nor does he give up someone to wander about . ”Indeed , if anything , Malek would do the opposite of kindness for Violet sinceshe did n’t burn all of Liam ’s belongings , which is mean as a tribute to the god .

scurvy stakes have been a coarse charge in the fantasy genre .

It ’s also unlikely because of Yarros ’ attack . In the same audience , she explains:“death is a part of life [ … ] when you go to war , your admirer do n’t always come home , and so it was important to me to keep that realness . ”She then clearly states:“I would n’t bring anyone back,”because it makes the stake lower .

downhearted stake have been a plebeian complaint in the illusion genre , including paranormal romances such asThe Vampire Diaries – Yarros ’ refusal to fall out suit gives an otherwise fantastical serial grounding . Along the same course , it seems more likely thatshe include the hallucination to add military realism to the fit . Torture is a part of war , and Violet need to have a way to psychologically make it through that experience .

Rebecca Yarros Hinted Violet’s Second Signet Has Already Manifested

Rebecca Yarros hint in herEntertainment Weeklyinterview that Violet ’s 2nd signet has manifested , but she did n’t give too much away , propel manyFourth Wingtheories about her signets . It ’s important to mention thatthe signet - blocking serum is at an experimental stageand small is known about it , so it ’s not impossible that mediumship could be an power of Violet ’s . Her 2d signet number from Andarna , who is descended from a antecedently unknown seventh breed of dragon who are a mystery . This have in mind Violet ’s 2nd signet could be one of several possibilities or evenmultiple powers inOnyx Storm .

Andarna is myopic for Andarnaurram , which translates to “ the 2d honor . ”

Onyx Stormwill research venin ability , include drawing energy from the terra firma . Violet ’s primary signet , contrastingly , is“pure power”drawn from the sky . Hersecond signet could be another way of life she could counter the venin ’s powersto honor the balance of magic in nature . InIron Flame , Varrish almost burns Violet out by require she transfer her lightning repeatedly – it ’s possible that he had other motivations for his obsession with the signet . This is suspiciously brushed under the rug after Varrish is shoot down , kill one ofIron Flame ’s best scoundrel . This may be picked up again in the much - anticipated release .
