The Empyrean Book 3.5: Threshing Day by Rebecca Yarros

 

The Empyrean Book 3.5

Welcome to Threshing Day, the brutal, high-stakes trial where would-be riders at Basgiath War College fight to earn the bond of a dragon or die trying. Amid ruthless competition and dragon fire, these thirteen cadets must survive a battlefield where desperate rivals will do anything to gain an advantage and dragons decide one’s ultimate fate―and where a single choice can forge a rider…or destroy them.

Xaden Riorson, the powerful leader. Rhiannon Matthias, the clever friend. Dain Aetos, the dutiful rule-follower. Liam Mairi, the kindhearted protector. Ridoc Gamlyn, the jokester. Sawyer Henrick, the underdog. Garrick Tavis, the dependable aide. Imogen Cardulo, the impulsive fighter. Bodhi Durran, the second-in-command. Mira Sorrengail, the fearless rider. Brennan Sorrengail, the brilliant tactician. Aaric Graycastle, the restless royal. Sloane Mairi, the determined sister.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Threshing Day has arrived! I’ve been beyond excited to read this collection of stories about so many of my favorite characters and the day they bonded to their dragons. Absolutely love it. There are stories with plenty of surprises as well as just plain typical when it comes to the riders and their dragons. And I loved each of their story. I loved getting to be in their heads to see what they were thinking and to hear their dragons speak for the first time. We get to see exactly why these matched with who they did and why they work so well together. It truly made me hope and wish that future books in this series will include more points of views from these characters. There is just so much story to tell. But I’m glad we got a book like this to see them now. It just made me all the more excited to for the next book to come out! You definitely don’t want to miss this story.
