In this episode of Minds Over Magic, Katya and Katheryn explore Chapters 28–29 of Fourth Wing (spoilers for Chapters 1–29), where Violet’s power fully manifests and changes everything.

Looking at signets as reflections of personality and inner pressure, we explore why lightning makes sense for Violet and what it reveals about her role moving forward.

The conversation also looks at Violet and Xaden’s growing closeness, including their ability to communicate mind to mind, and what that shift signals about attachment and connection. We return to the contrast between Dain and Xaden — protection versus growth — and how these approaches play out both in the story and in real life.

✨ Themes discussed: power and identity, acceptance and integration, attachment, growth vs protection, responsibility, and change.
