I LOVE THIS VERISON IT MAKES THE CHARACTERS SO MUCH BETTER and emphasises their tone and also I LOVE the background noises and music, really helps with the visualisation :D Really making me hate certain characters and fall in love with others even more!!! I honestly don't really like the voice actor for Tairn, but he's still a good VA, just not giving Tairn :( I LOVE Xaden's voice actor!! He's really giving me the feeels :) I'm still getting used to the VA for Violet because I'm used to Rebecca Soler lol, and I love her, but the VA for Violet here is good too, sounds younger. ALSO WHY DID IT END THERE I WAS EXPECTING ANOTHER SCENE FROM THE REVIEWS >:(

If you get fed any social media posts about books, you have probably heard about Fourth Wing. Admittedly, I went into reading this book thinking “Everyone is saying it’s a game changer, so it must be amazing” and I think that is the wrong way to start this, or any, book. 

I’d like to start by saying it is good. If you like romantasy (fantasy+romance) with a touch of dystopia, you’ll have a great time reading Fourth Wing. The main character is also explicitly disabled and it is intertwined with her journey of self-discovery, as well as challenging the status quo of the society she is in. Based on the descriptions, I think she has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I also love the dragons. They are characters in their own right, not just tools to be used. However, the entire time I was reading, I couldn’t help but tell myself “This is just Divergent with dragons.” The general plot is almost identical. Everything was predictable because of this and the only things that I didn’t predict were because something we were told was “impossible” was, in fact, possible for our super special main character. This occurs multiple times. I don’t even think it’s an unreliable narrator at that point. I think it’s an unreliable universe. The upper hand that Fourth Wing has over Divergent is that this fantasy setting allows for more creativity (and covering up for narrative mistakes). Additionally, I did not enjoy most of the main character’s “love life”. This is enemies-to-lovers, so much so that it is almost anti-friends-to-lovers. I don’t care about either trope, but the blatant comparisons get old. I also felt that the main character thinks about “spice” a lot more than I care for, especially considering the actual spice level of the book. There may be people who want to see this since women’s sexuality is largely swept aside in many stories. But this was not it for me. 

Overall, this is a decent adult romantasy book and probably a good introduction to the genre for people who prefer epic fantasy stories. I don’t feel like I wasted my time reading it. But it is not groundbreaking in the slightest and I’m not sure if I will continue the series.

Hot damn! I have not been swallowed in by a book in years and it took everything out of me to remove myself from reading this to do every day life stuff. I borrowed this book from the library more as a second thought, but I loved this book so much I ordered this book and the sequel immediately along with pre-ordering the third installment before I even finished it. My copy of Iron Flame comes a day too late so I went and picked up the one I had on hold at the library until my copy comes so I don't have to wait.

I appreciated that Violet's character was very true and she didn't suddenly become this great warrior (which is something that went wrong in Divergent). Violet still keeps her weaknesses but learns how to adapt to them to become a great warrior.
