Threshing Day Edizione Italiana

Loved it way more than I thought. I liked the first books but they were not special to me. This book changed everything and I have to reread the entire series before ACOTR release, great.

Oh, how much I loved this novella! ❤️ I really appreciate that Rebecca Yarros takes a moment away from the main storyline to explore something so fundamental to the Empyrean world: Threshing Day, the day when dragons choose their riders. Through different characters’ perspectives, we experience their fears, hopes and insecurities. Some are terrified of not being chosen, while others struggle to accept the dragon that chooses them. I particularly enjoyed seeing how their personalities and vulnerabilities are reflected in the signets they eventually develop. But what stayed with me most was the relationship between dragons and their riders. For me, the bond can almost be summed up as: I know everything about you, the good and the bad, and I accept you as you are. All I ask in return is honesty, not only with me, but with yourself. And I think that’s such a beautiful message. Being truly seen and accepted doesn’t mean pretending to be someone else or hiding the parts of ourselves we find difficult to acknowledge. It means having the courage to be honest about who we are. I loved how much emotional depth this short story brought to a moment that already plays such an important role in the series. Rather than simply adding more action or background information, it gave me a deeper appreciation of what it actually means to be chosen by a dragon. I savoured every moment of it and genuinely wished it were longer!

Wow… what even was that book?! I went into this story relatively neutrally because I’m honestly not much of a short-story person. So, at the beginning, I’ll admit I struggled a little. BUT THEN WHAT HAPPENED… Omg. So many things were suddenly turned upside down. New theories were formed, old theories were thrown out or confirmed — and at the same time, about a thousand new questions came up. On top of that, several love stories were developed that I NEVER would have expected. And then… that chapter with Sloan. WHAT EVEN WAS THAT?! Omg, I can’t. It’s so incredibly heartbreaking. The way Rebecca writes it so tenderly… the emotions, the sensitivity. I was just sitting there thinking: omg. I’m completely emotionally destroyed, and at the same time, I’m so incredibly impressed by everything this book made me feel.

Ich finde das Buch wirklich gelungen. Kurzgeschichten von Charakteren, von denen wir immer mal wissen wollten, wie die zu Ihrem Drachen gekommen sind. was mich wirklich positiv überrascht hat, sind die Bilder! Es fühlt sich an wie ein kleines Lexikon. Jetzt kann Band 4 kommen!

One of the best novellas I’ve ever read!!! Reading Threshing Day felt like coming home, loved all 13 stories. Can’t wait to do a deep dive before book 4 comes out. Ps I’m feral for all the Xaden, Violet, Liam; Garrick + Imogen, Dain + Sloane crumbs
