Faithfully Fantasy Podcast

We’re continuing our chapter-by-chapter deep dive into Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros, and this time we're looking at Dain Aetos’s Threshing Day. And honestly, the more we learn about Dain, the more questions we have… but perhaps the biggest mystery isn't Dain himself. It's his father.

From Colonel Aetos keeping a suspiciously close eye on his son, to his strange reaction to the marked ones, we're questioning everything. Does he genuinely want to protect Dain, or is there something much more sinister going on? We're also digging into Dain's missing mother. Why did she leave? Was she connected to the rebellion? Could she have been involved with the Venin? And what if the letters Dain believes she stopped sending were actually being intercepted by his father?

But that's not all. We look at Cath's mysterious previous riders, his unusual accent, and the possibility that Dain's dragon might have been influencing him long before Threshing. We also revisit the suspicious Second Wing, the surprisingly small number of marked ones within it, and why Colonel Aetos seems so determined to keep them apart. There are so many clues, suspicious conversations, and unanswered questions in this chapter.

Join us as we break them all down and try to work out what's really going on with Dain Aetos. We're analysing Threshing Day one chapter at a time, so subscribe to Faithfully Fantasy and join us for the next POV!

We’re continuing our chapter-by-chapter deep dive into Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros, and this time it’s Garrick Tavis’s turn. And there is A LOT going on in this chapter. Especially when it comes to his dragon, Chradh. A brown Scorpiontail, supposedly just 27 years old, with no recorded riders… but we already know those records aren't telling us the whole truth. So, how old is Chradh really?

But Chradh isn't the only mystery. We're also digging into Garrick's family history, his mysterious first and third chances at life, the whereabouts of his mother, and the possibility that his family has a much deeper connection to dragons than we've been led to believe.

And what about Garrick and Imogen? Could their dragons be mates? Is Garrick's distance-wielding signet connected to Imogen somehow?

We also revisit Lilith Sorrengail's deal with Xaden, the suspicious weather surrounding Threshing, the possibility of Xaden being connected to Dunne in a much bigger way, and yet another hint that Garrick might be willing to sacrifice himself for everyone else.

Join us as we break down every clue, question every suspicious detail, and share our theories about Garrick's Threshing Day. What have we missed? What do you think Chradh is hiding?

We’re continuing our chapter-by-chapter deep dive into Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros, and this time we’re stepping into Xaden Riorson’s Threshing Day.

And WOW… this chapter gives us a LOT to unpack. From Sgaeyl’s history and her mysterious warnings, to Alic Baran, Molvic, Kaori, Melgren’s signet, the Riorson family history, and some VERY suspicious details about what Xaden may have been destined for long before he met Violet.

Why does Sgaeyl have a warning not to be approached under ANY circumstances? 
Did Lilith really manipulate the weather during Threshing?
What is Molvic doing at Xaden’s Threshing?
Is there more going on with the Riorson family line than we realised?
Are the references to green eyes another clue about Imogen?
Could the Riorson birth order reveal something VERY important about the future of Tyrrendor?
And why does Kaori warn them about three mysterious dragons we haven't seen before? We’re looking at the possibility that this chapter could be quietly foreshadowing the future destruction of Basgiath, the Vale, and even the dragon hatching grounds.

We’re continuing our chapter-by-chapter deep dive into Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros, and this time we’re stepping into Mira Sorrengail’s POV.And just like Brennan’s chapter, Mira’s Threshing Day is packed with details that might be MUCH more important than they first appear.We’re breaking down everything we noticed between the lines, from Teine, the mysterious green Clubtail, to Mira’s complicated relationship with her family, the history of the Sorrengails, and some very interesting clues about what could be coming next.

Does Teine really have no previous bonded riders?
Could Mira’s willingness to protect Brennan be foreshadowing something darker?
Why does Mira seem to know less about dragons than we would expect?What is the connection between the Sorrengails and the elements?
Why does Zihnal seem so important to Mira and Brennan?
Is something strange going on with the geography and Brennan’s location?
And what could Mira’s Threshing tell us about Violet’s future?

We’re also looking at the references to Fen’s frustrations with conscription and Talladium, the mysterious Cowan Zana, the strange weather during Threshing.

💬 What did YOU notice in Mira’s Threshing Day? Did we miss a clue, a connection, or a piece of foreshadowing?Let us know in the comments.

We’re back with another chapter-by-chapter deep dive into Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros, and this time we’re stepping into Brennan Sorrengail’s POV. And honestly… this chapter gave us A LOT to talk about.

We’re also taking a closer look at:

Asher’s incredible amount of foreshadowing Could Asher have been using a signet or some kind of magic?
What does Asher’s silver hair mean?
Why does Asher seem to know Brennan will become a rider?
What is the connection between Zinhal and the orange dragons?
Marbh, “Zinhal’s Chosen”?
What does it mean to accept Zinhal’s gifts without hesitation?

And then there are the little details that might turn out to be MUCH more important than they seem…
The voices in the forest.
The bird references.
The similarities between Brennan’s reactions and what we’ve seen from Violet and Xaden.
The mysterious bracelet.
We’re going through it all and sharing everything we noticed between the lines.
