*If you want to see my original post based on this question, you can click down on the link below to see the original post that I related to the rules of my own book series, The Truson S.E.T. Series, and why I wouldn’t be able to survive that either. 

It’s a hard question to answer 

I know that a lot of people don’t like Fourth Wing or the Empryean Series altogether. I understand where you are coming from. The fandom has gotten out of hand lately where it has been just straight bullying when it comes to the author and what she is currently going through. But here, the question was what world would be the absolute worst to live in the book world?

My answer: Surviving the world that Rebecca Yarros has created in Fourth Wing- the fictional kingdom of Navarre at Basgiath War College. 

1) The name alone is terrible within itself. Who would want to sing up to go to a war college??? A war college??? I guess you can say the same thing as me signing up to go to the army (Although I don’t think I would make it based on my eyesight alone).

2) The dragons! Can you imagine being in aa dragon’s presence when you are in it’s path? There are ones that can burn you alive with one flick of its mouth. How would I be able to do it? I wouldn’t. 

3) The signets. Wait, what? You mean to tell me that I have to use powers that I probably don’t even know I had yet in order to get a signet??? Then on top of that, I have to fight other riders and their dragons to go even further when it comes to battles? No thank you. 

It’s all fun and games when it comes to being in an interactive game online where you are close but not too close. Thresing Day in the United States became an event for the ages. Not only did Rebecca Yarros go all out in New York City when it came to her fans being in the experience by letting people walk the parapet, she actually created a website where they can try to be the main character (Violet) and try their best to battle people and dragons to own a dragon online. 

Again, I don’t think I would be able to survive the Kingdom of Navarre. I think that if I had to go, I would be a scribe (Which would suit me quite well considering I love to write).

I will admit that this is a good question to ask considering the books I have read and written. Lately, I have been taking an interest in fantasy books after being invested into contemporary and paranormal romance for so long. A part of me wants to go back to romance considering all of the fandom that has been happening lately in the fantasy space. Anyway, I think in the book world, I could not survive as a hybrid in my book world on the Island of Truson. 

Why?

1) I wouldn’t be able to deal with the transformation itself. The transformation is so painful from human to animal that the chances of having to transform into their animal forms for a total of twelve hours before they have to transform back into their human forms again. I think I would want to die after that. 

2) Another thing that happens in my book world is that they have powers. They use a special liquid called the Animan Three-Hundred. This requires them to alter their DNA so that they will be able to transform into a hybrid with supernatural powers. Their powers are controlled by their emotions. Since I am highly emotional human being, I would internally be destroying everything that comes into my path. 

3) The final thing would be me not falling for temptation when it comes to not sleeping with the other hybrids in my clan. Some of the people are gorgeous in the other clans but one of the laws when it comes to my world is that you are not able to cross breed (meaning if I were a half-human, half-dolphin hybrid that I am forbidden to sleep with someone who is half-human, half-shark). But I will have to follow the rules eventually and will marry the person that’s in my clan. 

4) Finally, I would have to say that the battles my character has to endure would be enough for me to say “I Quit”. The majority of my characters in the Truson S.E.T. Series has powers that can manipulate the weather, send people to their early grave through insects, and even give birth to swords that will kill you within seconds. I think I would value my life too much to go through that. 

Now, the question goes back to the ones reading this post: Which book’s world would be the absolute worst to live in?

What’s something you’ve done that you never thought you could?

This won’t be a long post today considering I have a horrible sore throat and I am actively working on the next book in the Truson S.E.T. Series.

I wrote and self-published my first book in 2019 after years of rejection. That will be one of the greatest accomplishments I have ever achieved in my life.

There were others but I won’t talk about it today.

How do you manage stress?

I manage stress through reading and writing. It has always been this way with me when the world becomes too much. I love to read and immerse myself into the many fantasy worlds in a book or just create my own when it comes to writing my books as well.

That’s it. That’s all.
