Welcome to Dear Dragon Reader, a special series from Dear Fantasy Reader podcast! Hosted by Karly, each episode dives deep into a specific topic from Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean Series.

In this episode, the spotlight is on Violet's Signets. First, Karly unpacks the hidden complexity of Violet’s first signet—exploring how many of the suspicious moments fans often associate with her speculated second signet might actually stem from her Pure Power signet. Then, Karly examines Violet’s needs and motivations—the forces that shape a signet—before diving into the highly speculated possibilities surrounding Violet’s second signet and presenting evidence for each theory.

So book up, Dragon Readers, and get ready for thoughtful analysis, exciting theories, and plenty of dragon-sized insights!

Join us for some fangirling, laughter, and a whole lot of love for Taylor Swift! 💖

In this bonus episode, we’re sharing all the magical, serendipitous moments from Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in London—front row barricade! 🎤✨ We dive into how Taylor has been the soundtrack to our lives and friendship, and how all of the dominoes cascaded in a line before and during our show.

After queuing for 16 hours overnight on the streets of London (yes, we really did that for Taylor!), it felt like all the stars aligned when Taylor looked right at us and smiled (two different times— & no, we’re never, ever, ever getting over it!). From the surprise songs that brought us to tears and left us with fried vocal cords, to the Eras that have shaped our lives, we’re reliving every special moment.

Plus, this episode features photos and videos from the experience of our wildest dreams—so you can relive the magic with us (link to watch on YouTube below)! ✨ Don’t say we didn’t, say we didn’t warn ya—this episode will have you feeling all the post-Eras feels!

For those of you discovering our podcast through this video, welcome! We’re Hannah and Karen, two best friends who dive deep into the pages of our favorite Romantasy novels. We’re currently exploring The Empyrean Series: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros— unpacking easter eggs, theories, foreshadowing, and more. Follow us down the Swiftie to Empyrean girlie pipeline and stay, stay, stay for all the fun! 💖✨
