I did not want to read this book. I tried not to pick it up. I kept telling myself any book that is that hyped up cannot be as good as people say. The reality? It WASN'T that good. It was BETTER!!! This book had me hooked from the beginning. The characters, the banter, the storyline...I loved it all.

This book made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me gasp. I inhaled it. I could not put it down. It's a good thing I work from home and am able to listen to audible during my work day. I couldn't put it down. And now that I am finished? I'm having to wait on bated breath with the rest of the book loving world for Iron Flame. I've had to pre-order two copies, one for myself, and one for my daughter.

My daughter has also taken my copy of Fourth Wing so she can go back through and take a deep dive into the world of the Empyrean.

If you're hesitant to read Fourth Wing, because you have a hard time believing all the hype...believe it. This book is so good. I'm almost glad though that I waited so long to read it. At least now I don't have to wait as long for the next book in the series! I cannot wait for 11/7 to get here so I can get back into the world of Violet, the dragons, and the riders.

It read very juvenile to me, the fmc in particular read as tho she was 12 when she is supposedly 20. The overuse of curse words where they weren’t necessary was a turnoff. The plot was also weak and very predictable. Why would a school kill off a major part of able bodied men and women every year? what good does that do? It didn’t seem well thought out to me, it felt rushed. The craze online for this book might have contributed to my feeling majorly let down by how boring I found it as well.
