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!
