Dr. Vanessa is very much still in her #RomantasyEra, and following up her two-part discussion of Fourth Wing with a critical analysis of Iron Flame - the second in the Empyrean Series by Rebecca Yarros. This book has even more angst, shenanigans, and pearl-clutching moments than the first! This discussion focuses on the intricate dynamics of grief and loss, trust and relationships, as well as empowerment. And…the complexities of human emotion Rebecca has written in these pages…. *chef’s kiss*

And the conversation about Violet, Xaden, and them CONTINUES! Join Dr. Vanessa in the conclusion of her analysis of the phenomenal Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. Topics include our two powerful prodigies - Violet and Xaden - and their journeys to overcoming adversity, all while balancing love, power, and expectations. Dr. Vanessa focuses on elements of their stories that speak to our everyday experiences. Whether we’re riders, scribes, or just “regular folk” - we are infinite!

Dr. Vanessa is living her best #RomatasyEra life, bringing to you her one-of-a-kind take on the worldwide phenomenon Fourth Wing. From the creative mind of Rebecca Yarros, this story is centered on the business of Basgiath War College, which houses some of the most powerful dragon riders in the nation of Navarre. This first breakdown features discussions of existentialism and dynamics of grief and mortality, as well as perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. #VioletIsMySHEroe
