I’m so glad I read Fourth Wing recently because damn there’s a lot going on. What a whirlwind, I can see why this was the most anticipated book of the year. 

So let’s get into it: despite the plot being slower and parts feeling almost too repetitive, I was entirely engrossed until the end. That “I need to know what happens next” feeling kept me totally glued to the book. Violet and Xaden’s chemistry continued to burn, I love them even though I sometimes want to smack them. The dragons were still deliciously sarcastic with a heavy dose of angst. And the plot was hit with problems, twist, flips, and turns from the left and right. I have some serious theories for book three (if you’ve read it, let’s discuss?!). And UGH, after that total cliffhanger of an ending, I’m distraught at how long we’ll be waiting for the next book.
