‘Fourth Wing’ Guide: Dragons and Their Riders
When it comes to world-building in fantasy novels, there can be an overload of information. Character names can be mixed up and even hard to pronounce. In Fourth Wing and now Iron Flame, Rebecca Yarros has made it difficult for readers to keep up with all the dragons bonded to their riders with their signets. Yarros focuses on Violet Sorrengail and her two dragons, Tairn and Andarna, but there are so many characters that end up helping her in Iron Flame.

New Characters in ‘Iron Flame’ by Rebecca Yarros
It has been one week since Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros was released, and some book lovers are already finished reading!
Some new characters are introduced within Part One of the book, which surprised many readers. The addition of these characters has made this sequel more engaging in light of the absence of Xaden Riorson. There are some strange things going on at Basgiath and the more we read, the more these additional characters show their true colours.

From Book to Screen: ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Parallels
The game has grown exponentially since 2014 and has branched out into graphic novels, mini-games, spin-offs and now a film adaptation. Video game adaptations are difficult to make because there is so much lore. And the FNAF lore is extensive, with a weird timeline created by Cawthon. The film adaptation, directed by Emma Tammi, focuses on the children who were taken versus the gameplay and sets it apart from the rest of the media in the franchise. There are plenty of Easter Eggs in the film that were directly from the graphic novels.
‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ Character Breakdown
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins is about Coriolanus Snow and him being assigned a female tribute for the 10th annual Hunger Games. It is a completely different perspective than we are used to because it’s more focused on Snow and the impression of Lucy Gray Baird from District 12.
Whether you’re new to the franchise or gearing up to watch the film adaptation, we’re here to give you a full character breakdown to refresh your memory. If you love The Hunger Games, join our discord to discuss with other book lovers!
