Welcome to Litsy!

With its mixed reviews, I‘m starting this with a bit of trepidation.

I‘m in one of those moods where I don‘t know what I want to read so I just picked one up that‘s been in my TBR pile for a while… but this looks intriguing.

For there, in the land beyond the shadows, were monsters that dwelled in the night and dined on the souls of children who wandered too close to the woods.

I struggle with this one.

I didn't connect with any of the characters, in fact I kept thinking that if it weren't for Kyle (who I hate, by the way) this whole story wouldn't exist.

The slow pace, character driven plot just didn't grab me like the Farseer Trilogy did.

However, I understand that Hobb develops her stories over time, and I can see a lot of potential in this trilogy and its importance in the overall Elderling series.

This took me a really long time to read cause I wasn‘t in a reading mood but I finally fished it and loved it.

Will be picking up the next book really soon because I need to know what happens next.

This one won me over by the end. The last few chapters are explosive, and I loved the devotion of the love interest 😋

Having said that, I don't disagree with the criticism either. Fourth Wing isn't perfect. It's clichéd, the MC is annoying, and the world-building is sloppy and jars with the modern language.

Still, there is a reason why it is resonating with so many readers, and I'm invested now.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fun follow-up to the first book. In the afterword, the author explains that he didn't want to repeat the story of brains over brawn, so he decide to explore when someone intelligent gets a little too cocky. Great illustrations and a meaningful story.
