Fourth Wing | Rebecca Yarros
Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding generalalso known as her tough-as-talons motherhas ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when youre smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons dont bond to fragile humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mothers daughterlike Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. Shell need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agendabecause once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

It felt like the story was lacking originality and wasn‘t very memorable but it was interesting and enjoyable.

I‘m borrowing a copy from a coworker (I will own it one day!!) and so the picture isn‘t mine. I am so glad that the hype was not over exaggerated! Violet is awesome (bookish badass) and the school she gets to go to is brutal, but fun and has some powerful lessons. There is the sexual tension, too. And 🐉!! Also, totally did not see the twist! #recentlyread

I have been determined to read this since last year- I have a hardcover edition, a kindle edition and audio edition. And yes I am glad- My obsession feels a little like Twilight. Some holes in the story. Some things that annoyed me (why is there not an original calendar?) but I loved it…. all of it. Also i‘ve read 3 books this week!!!! My brain fog may be lifting finally 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

A double pick if I was able to choose!

I love the writing style, the charcters and the world Rebecca Yarros created.
You can read how Violet grows from a girl into a woman, how Xaden's wards fall down and how people become friends and friends become...

It is a enemy to romance, opposits attracts, forbidden love, love triangle,...

I am a fan and already started Iron Flame 😅

Very cool dragons and really boring people! Ok, I know there is a ton of buzz around this book, but it is indeed a mediocre fantasy novel. The beginning is so slow and I didn‘t care about any of the characters. If they died, if they lived, didn‘t matter to me. It wasn‘t until about 170 pages in that it got good. This is a book that reads like a 15 year old wrote it, so don‘t expect good writing. But this was a fast read once the dragons showed up.

RamsFan1963 I think I've read 2 negative reviews of this on Litsy, one being mine. I don't get the hype, I guess it's one of those books not written for me. 3w
SB_92084 @RamsFan1963 same…I wanted to enjoy it, but it felt so…meh. The dragons were great! But the humans were rather dull and uninteresting. 3w

A great holiday read. If it hasn‘t already been decided I can definitely see this following in the path of The Hunger Games and becoming a movie franchise. I could probably have done with about 100 pages less but the cliff hanger at the end means I‘m in it for the series.

I had listened to a couple of drama podcasts with sound effects and cast but never a book, after some encouragement from new library coworkers, I listened to this, and wow. I am not typically into fantasy but this story grabbed me. It is an epic tale of young people being conscripted to save the world, it‘s like Hunger Games with dragons. I took more walks than usual to continue - PT at the library may be good for my health! *It is a little 🌶️.

We are vacationing with two other families this year, and almost all of the readers going have read this and the second book in the series. My BFF, my sis in law, my BFF‘s daughter and my two bonus daughters (my sons‘ GFs). I don‘t want to feel left out! I borrowed my daughter‘s copy - she hasn‘t read it yet. Hoping I can finish both before we go on vacation. Was slow to start for me, but it‘s picking up. ❤️📚

-I already loved this author‘s contemporary romances
-She pulls off the new genre of fantasy fantastically
-Exceptional world-building
-These dragons are oozing personality…they are the best part of the whole series
-The narration is exceptionally cast for the most part
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬⇩
-The sound effects can be a touch distracting, although it was better when I had headphones on.

This is the absolute worst book I've ever read. I hated every single thing about it. The writing, the straight up copying of popular series. Nothing in this world made any sense. Of course, we have the amazing BADASS girl who has no idea what she's doing, but somehow manages to be the most special person ever. And the guy she's lusting over is a tall, dark, brooding bad boy with shadow powers, who hates her, but wants to make her his. Eyeroll.

A movie in your mind is the best way to describe this. I am even more ready for book 3 now… which is now pushed out to January 2025. I need Onyx Storm pronto! I yet why Yarros needs to take care of herself in this - I also have EDS and sometimes you‘re just ridiculously exhausted for extended periods. I will do whatever it takes to help her get this bad boy finished, though. Seriously.

My first foray into BookTok hype was…fine? A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for a fast-paced and dragon-centered narrative, but predictable romance and some of the most clumsily written sex scenes I‘ve ever read knocked at least two stars off. I did buy the sequel before I was done, so am maybe being too harsh 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me. I know, everyone loves it! But while the overarching idea was original, all the ways it played out felt formulaic. The enemies to lovers was… so predictable. And I hated how Violet was “strong” but she was constantly talking about how weak she was and 1000% just focused on helping/impressing/getting the man. I got bored in the middle, but I will say the end picked up and was good. Not planning to read Iron Flame.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I get the hype, I really do. However, the very prominent and frequent lusting of the two main characters and graphic scenes kind of took away from how good the rest of the book was. Also the romance between Violet and Xaden felt a bit immature at times, especially towards the end. There were several majestic moments and plot points that I absolutely loved, and the cliffhanger demands for the sequel to be read.

robinb This was a 4⭐️ for me as well. I had an issue with the amount of vulgarity in it. The storyline could have survived without it. 5mo
Gryffleclaw95 @robinb I completely agree! I definitely think that the book would have been so much better without it. 5mo

Okay, I'm officially hooked! I highly enjoyed this second part of the graphic audio more than the first. I didn't hear Violet talk about how hot Xaden was as much as the first part (this was kind of annoying). I was not expecting the ending, nor was I expecting my reaction when one of the characters died. Overall, I give the entire book 4.5 stars.

5✨ The plot was well thought out and there was a real element of danger. We do lose people both good and bad. The dragon element was perfect, and I love the young dragon. We don‘t really know who to trust, and that ending was a huge shock! The hype was true for me. There was a warning for sexual content in the audio, which I appreciated, but really besides three scenes it was not too overwhelming for someone who doesn‘t want to read it.
