It’s rare to find a fantasy, sci-fi, or adventure book where the main character accurately represents disability. Fourth Wing did, and it meant the world to me. Violet’s struggle to accept that she needs accommodations—then feeling like a fraud when she excels with them, despite her resilience being an asset—mirrors my own experience in real life (minus the dragons).

if i were honest a 2.5/5 stars but i rounded up to 3 because honestly (and begrudgingly) i did have a good time reading this

was the end, and most of the plot, predictable? yes.

was it written well? no.

did i hate violet at times, and am i sure it’ll only get worse? oh 100% (like oh my gld are you dumb sometimes girl i swear to god??? how are you supposed to be the smart one when it takes you so long to notice things??)

but do i get what the girlies love xaden?? yes.

did i have fun? also yes. the vibes are great and sometimes it’s nice to just not think on a book too much

i guess i’ll read the next one or whatever

This book inspires people to try regardlessof your flaws

between how Violet figures a way to scale the gauntlet to her claiming her dragons

and finds her place in the complicated ethics or surviving a school. Where you either learn to fly or die trying
