Summary: Fourth Wing follows Violet Sorrengail, a scribe by training turned dragon rider cadet thanks to her mother, a General at Basgiath War College. Her journey to ride or die brings a surprising romance with a sworn enemy of her mother, Xaden Riorson, after she bonds to the dragon mated to Xaden’s dragon tethering their lives to one another. As their year progresses, secrets are unveiled that expand beyond the War College which change Violet’s life forever.

What I loved:

-The dragons. I love them all, but I have a special place in my heart for Andarna

-Xaden and Violet’s romance. I love them so much and their spicy scenes were well done

-The plot twists. The foreshadowing throughout the book was well done and some of the things said early in Fourth Wing reflect back into Iron Flame.

-Liam. *still crying*

-The foreshadowing. Writing this after reading Iron Flame, there was so much intentionality in the writing of this book that makes a re-read after reading book 2 a whole new adventure. 

What I hated:

-Dain existed.

-We didn’t get to spend as much time with the dragons as I would have liked.

-World building was a bit lacking, but acceptable given this is book 1 of 5.

Favorite quotes: (there’s too many to include them all…)

“Should I get the Wingleader?” - Tairn

“I will not die today.” - Violet Sorrengail

“You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?” - Xaden Riorson

“It’s been. My honor.” - Liam Mairi 

“The right way isn’t the only way.” - Xaden Riorson

I'm a book hipster. I really, really didn't want to read this book because it was so hyped. However, the Overdue Podcast did an episode on it and they were HYPING it UP. And I don't trust their tastes with everything, but all the things they said they liked about it were things that I like in a book...so I found it second hand and finished it in a week. Look, all I can say is...I understand the hype. 
I thought Violet was great and I loved everything about her disability. I loved Tairn and Andarna and... let's not forget Liam and Xaden <3 
The angst man...the angst. 
Liam is the best. You can't tell me nothing. 
Dain sucks. 
I need more Tairn in my life. 
That is all.
