It was an amazing read! The characters, the world building, the lore, and the penmanship that kept me reading well into 3:00 am had me in an uphill battle of choosing peace or violence. However, I re-read the book and my opinion has shifted slightly. I read a review that said “Xaden wears skinny jeans” and I haven’t been the same since🧍🏾‍♀️ I can’t unsee it because I feel like he really does 👁️👄👁️

Although Fourth Wing and I got off to a briefly rocky start, I fast became addicted to this sexy, sumptuous, romp of a book. Despite its flaws, it was a captivating read from start to finish, with a wonderfully indulgent fantasy plot at its core. The characters were all fun and vividly drawn, the romance sizzled so hot I could have fried eggs on the page, and the political plot was woven through with expert subtlety. Plus, of course, dragons.

If you want to read an amazingly built world with multidimensional characters, I highly recommend Brandon Sanderson, especially the Stormlight Archive series.

This book was fun but I enjoyed it the same way I enjoyed Sharknado. I can see why some less experienced readers would love it too. It was written so that young female readers will identify themselves with the "not like other girls" protagonist and if that's your cup of tea, go for it. It has cool fight scenes, Mexican novel levels of drama, and smutty scenes worthy of AO3. It's a light read and made me laugh with all the cringy dialogue and obvious plot twists. I'm giving it 4 stars because it fulfilled my need for a popcorn book.

I heard so many bad things about this book my standards were so low. But this turned out to be a really fantastic read. I loved the characters, or even hated some, and the story kept me engaged. I was aching to read more just to find out what happens. It’s been a while since a book has captivated me like that. Absolutely loved it. I felt the writing was solid, not as predictable as some people were saying, and overall the author did a really great job with this. A lot of the complaints I had seen weren’t even an issue- like the spice factor. It was nearly non-existent. Or the world building, we didn’t get an entire back history on the world but we got the feel for the world. I also feel like we will get way more in the following books, so the world building isn’t done. Personally it would have been dull if half the book was building up to the entire world and college, so I’m happy with what we had.
