This was my second time reading Fourth Wing (in anticipation of Onyx Storm), and my rating has definitely gone down a bit.
The first time I read this, I was addicted, so I overlooked a lot of things that were much clearer to me this time around. The writing is not… great. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Am I still excited for Onyx Storm? You bet! Is this the beat piece of fiction out there? Definitely not.
I think all these things can coexist, as long as you go into it expecting an entertaining read and don’t pay very close attention to the prose.
