Join your fellow squad mates, Hannah and Karen, as they dive into chapters 24 & 25 of Fourth Wing, re-experiencing the story through the lens of Iron Flame!

Hannah and Karen begin with a 'Scribe Report' (chapter summary) before diving into discussion and analysis of key moments, featuring transformative insights from Rebecca Yarros' Q&As and Iron Flame. They stop by the Healer's Quadrant for a temperature check on characters, favorite moments, and standout quotes, before heading over to the Archives for an Epigraph Analysis. Finally, they take flight, exploring foreshadowing, theories, and overarching questions on all things Empyrean!
