Because I literally cannot get over how good this book series is, I decided to go through my Kindle highlights and make up a list of my favourite quotes from the three books.

If you haven't read my other post about The Emperyan series, please do so down below.

  1. "I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been. I am infinite."- Fourth Wing
  2. "A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead."- Fourth Wing
  3. "Secrets make for poor leverage. They die with the people that keep them."-Iron Flame
  4. "If I wallow in every loss, that's all I'll ever have time for."- Onyx Storm
  5. "There’s nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn’t find you, Violence."- Fourth Wing
  6. "Lies are comforting. Truth is painful."- Fourth Wing
  7. "Violence, remember it's only the body that's fragile. You are unbreakable." - Iron Flame
  8. "Pain isn't a competition," I assure him. "There's always enough to go around." - Onyx Storm
  9. "The right way isn’t the only way."- Fourth Wing
  10. "It’s been. My honor."- Fourth Wing
  11. "Should I get the Wingleader?" - Fourth Wing
  12. "Don’t borrow tomorrow’s trouble." - Fourth Wing
  13. "I am annoyingly aware of everything you do." - Fourth Wing
  14. "The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity." - Iron Flame
  15. "Stop bringing logic into an emotional argument."- Iron Flame
  16. "I could torch him if you would like," Tairn offers. "But you do seem attached." - Iron Flame
  17. "I chose you not as my next, but as my last, and should you fall, then I will follow." - Iron Flame
  18. "I can handle pain." I turn toward her. "I live in pain. I practically built a house there and set up a whole economy. I can take whatever they dish out." - Iron Flame
  19. "People are trying to kill you?" Jesinia’s brow knits. "It’s Thursday." - Iron Flame
  20. "Words are just as capable of eviscerating someone as a blade." - Iron Flame
  21. "To my fellow zebras. Not all strength is physical." - Iron Flame
  22. "She is warmth and light and air and love." - Onyx Storm
  23. "All I want is to lose myself in you, and I can’t. You are the only person in the world with the power to strip me of every ounce of my control, and the only person I can’t fathom losing that control with.” He lifts his head. “And yet here I am, unable to keep three fucking feet away from you." - Onyx Storm
  24. "I’m either completely in love with your boyfriend or utterly terrified of him,” Ridoc says under his breath." - Onyx Storm
  25. "I’ve decided you can all go fuck yourselves." - Onyx Storm
  26. "Oh good because books will keep her safe." Mira shoots Brennan an icy look. "The right ones will." - Onyx Storm
  27. "This will only ever be yours. You could leave me or even meet Malek, and it still would be. I’ve made my peace with knowing there’s no getting over you." -Onyx Storm
  28. "That you’re an asshole? Absolutely." Xaden holds up his finger. "And insulting you isn’t against the Code of Conduct. I checked."
  29. "My power, my body, my soul—it’s all yours." - Onyx Storm
  30. "I would have killed anything and anyone in that moment to reach you. No exceptions. I would have channeled every ounce of power beneath my feet without hesitation if it would have landed me at your side."

I cannot put into words to express how much of a grip this book has over my heart. I'm excited to start The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros over the weekend. I cannot get enough of this woman's writing.

I hope you enjoyed this list compiled with some of my favourite quotes from The Emperyan series. The two year wait period is going to torture me. I need answers and I need them like yesterday.

If you're interested, here is Rebecca Yarros' playlist that she dedicated to Fourth Wing while writing. I love the vibes that some of these songs have.

Again, thank you for reading. <3
