In this episode of Under the Scripts, we're diving into part two of our "Fourth Wing" trilogy, joined once again by our passionate guest Claire Kendall Taetz. We dig deeper into Rebecca Yarros' hit Romantasy series, unpacking its blend of war, magic, and—of course—dragons. Together, we trace Violet’s journey from underestimated cadet to double-dragon bonder, exploring major story beats like the tension-filled threshing, shocking alliances, and the complexities of loyalty, ambition, and trauma. Along the way, you'll hear insights on genre tropes (hello, enemies-to-lovers), the unique world-building decisions (why aren’t there dragon saddles?), and how much the characters’ personal struggles mirror bigger themes of power and responsibility.
