Fourth Wing: Chapter 3 Excerpt- Blue dragons descend from the extraordinary Gormfaileas line. Known for their formidable size, they are the most ruthless, especially in the case of the rare Blue Daggertail, whose knifelike spikes at the tip of their tail can disembowel an enemy with one flick.
Fourth Wing: Chapter 4 Excerpt- Presentation Day is unlike any other. The air is ripe with possibilities, and possibly the stench of sulfur from a dragon who has been offended. Never look a red in the eye. Never back down from a green. If you show trepidation to a brown…well, just don’t.” –Colonel Kaori’s Field Guide to Dragonkind (Yarros 143)
Fourth Wing: Chapter 13 Excerpt- There is nothing quite as humbling, or as awe-inspiring, as witnessing Threshing…for those who live through it anyway. –Colonel Kaori’s Field Guide to Dragonkind (Yarros 155)
Fourth Wing: Chapter 16 Excerpt- Though this officer considers himself to be an expert on all matters of dragonkind, there is a great deal we don’t know about the way dragons govern themselves. There is a clear hierarchy among the most powerful, and deference is paid to elders, but I have not been able to discern how it is they make laws for themselves or at what point a dragon decided to bond only one rider, rather than go for better odds.” –Colonel Kaori’s Field Guide to Dragonkind (Yarros 179)
