Xaden’s perspective at the end was a bit surprising and jarring - but made the ending much more interesting, making me hope for his perspective in future books too

Dropped my rating from 3.75 to 3. Honestly, this book was SUCH a let down to me!!! Everyone raves about it so I was expecting it to be one of my favorite books ever, but I did NOT enjoy the writing. The story line was fun, but the writing feels underdeveloped and juvenile. It’s a lot of telling me things instead of showing me things. All the parts of the story I enjoyed and wanted her to spend more time on were skipped over in half a page or less.

I felt no chemistry between the two main characters and the spice was written too bluntly for my enjoyment. The spice also added absolutely nothing to the story.

Lastly, everyone says that the ending goes wild. The ending did, in fact, not go wild. The ending was the most boring part in my opinion. I had 0 réaction to anything in the last 100 pages of the book. I’ll read the second one in hopes that it’s better than the first.

I was hoping this would fill the hole in my heat after finishing the Throne of Glass series, but I’m just disappointed :( please don’t come for me for my unpopular opinion haha

All in all, the storyline was interesting but the poor writing left a lot to be desired.

"Fourth Wing" is a remarkable novel that stands out for its extraordinary world-building and intricately designed characters. The author has crafted a universe so vivid and detailed that it leaps off the page, immersing readers in a world that feels both fantastical and eerily familiar. The settings are described with such richness and depth that one can easily visualize the landscapes, cities, and cultures that populate this imaginative world.

What truly elevates "Fourth Wing" are its characters. Each character is meticulously developed, with distinct personalities, backgrounds, and motivations that are skillfully woven into the narrative. The protagonist, with their unique blend of strengths and vulnerabilities, is particularly compelling, leading the reader through a journey that is as emotionally engaging as it is adventurous.

The interplay between characters is masterfully executed, with relationships and dialogues that feel authentic and contribute significantly to the depth of the story. The author has a gift for creating characters who are not just players in a story, but individuals who live and breathe within their world.

In summary, "Fourth Wing" is a triumph in the realm of fantasy literature. Its rich world-building sets a stunning backdrop for a cast of characters who are as complex as they are captivating. This book is a must-read for anyone who appreciates a well-constructed fantasy world populated by characters who resonate long after the last page is turned.
