Review - Fourth Wing
AUTHOR: Rebecca Yarros
RATING: ★★★★★
Summary (from Goodreads): Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders...
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t 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 mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
She’ll 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 agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die
REVIEW: It’s not often I read fantasy fiction, but I’ve had SO many people recommend this book to me that I decided to give it a try. When I read the final page last night, all I could think of to say was, “Wow…wow…wow…WOW!” I was honestly too stunned to come up with anything else, and all my husband could say was, “Honey, is something wrong?” LOL. Fourth Wing is such an amazing story. Violet is a badass heroine, and I admired her tenacity and how she kept proving everyone wrong who doubted her abilities. Xaden was a favorite character too, and he and Violet together? HOLY HELL! The chemistry between those two is just incredible. I read this book in two days because I couldn’t put it down. There were SO many times I held my breath during the fighting scenes, and I became so fully invested in every character that I literally sobbed during the last two chapters. (I’m not giving away any spoilers, but if you know you know). Fourth Wing has something for everyone - action, romance, fantasy, drama - and I would highly recommend it to everyone. I can’t wait to read more from this series!
