Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

5.0

5.0 (reread #2)

Still loving this. Rereading to prepare for Onyx Storm. Still VERY aware of the modern/anachronistic moments in this book (but choosing to just accept it for what it is). 

5.0 (reread)

Just as good the second time around. I cannot wait for book two.

5.0

So, I am not going to pretend that this didn't have issues - it did - but I loved it. Super engaging story, interesting characters, solid-ish world building, a bit of spice, dragons. A MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER. What's not to love?

And, for those of you wondering, my issues with this book were: 

1) The writing is just okay....it's not bad, but it isn't stellar.
and 
2) There was a weird anachronistic vibe the entire book - the characters lived in a different time/world, one without technology, but they spoke very modern. There were a few times that the diction pulled me out of the story.

Despite those two issues, I immediately passed my copy to a friend (need to talk to someone about it) and now have a massive book hangover. I am so excited that the second book comes out later this year.
