Booktok made me think this was a very spicy book and I was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t. Felt like divergent (book but with slightly better writing) meets game of thrones (tv series) meets modern romance book. Not super high fantasy but has enough work building to keep the fantasy aspect interesting. Super fast read for me. I throughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Fourth Wing
By Rebecca Yarros
5 Stars

Ummm, wow! This book was amazing! Why did I wait so long to read it???

Rebecca Yarros spins a captivating tale about a Dragon War College (Basgiath) and an apparent underdog that surprises the reader at every turn! We meet Violet, who truly wants to be a Scribe, but her military mother forces her to enter the Dragon Quadrant instead. Violet has to pass a challenge that could easily end her life JUST to get into the college… no books or record keeping for her. She will have to learn how to fly on a dragon. 

The entire book is filled with twists and turns, yet, it mixes with a strong and coherent story line. I never wanted to set this book down! 

Do you like fantasy novels? Do you like a lot of action and/or adventure? What about dragons? If you answered yes to any of these questions you should read this book!

This book inspires people to try regardlessof your flaws
between how Violet figures a way to scale the gauntlet to her claiming her dragons
and finds her place in the complicated ethics or surviving a school. Where you either learn to fly or die trying

I actually dislike this narrators performance. I enjoyed the book, but fucking hell this narrator should have been replaced. Reread for Onyx Storm but can't reread Iron Flame after realizing how awful this narrator is.

Such a cool world. Marred by graphic sex scenes that seem to be there for salacious effect. Could have been done more subtly. And the fantasy was strong enough without it.
