When the entire internet is collectively freaking out about a book and selling it out at every retailer under the sun, I’m going to have high expectations. And Fourth Wing just didn’t live up to the hype for me. 

Don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at basically-child-soldier camp. I love a fun trope-y read. I honestly even kind of liked how I was able to predict the entire plot as it happened. (I promise I’m not being shady, I really did enjoy that aspect.) Also, disability rep where the characters are accommodated for instead of having to overcome being disabled? We LOVE to see it. I’m stoked to read the sequel because I found the story, the world, and the characters really interesting. I just also found them to be rather one dimensional and at times lazily written ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Lots of the world building and characterization is told instead of shown. Violet and Xaden’s relationship is way more insta-love than enemies to lovers like it was billed. As some other reviews point out, some of the most interesting character dynamics, like Violet’s relationships with her mom and sister, are glossed over or only really spoken about based on what happened before the story begins. There’s a lot of potential here, and I hope more of that is explored in the next book. 

If you’re into this kind of new adult romantasy (although this one felt way more YA than adult), I’d still recommend Fourth Wing. It’s a fun time, but if you spend any time on the internet, temper your expectations.

4.5 stars

Wow…. Fourth Wing definitely lives up to its hype. I absolutely loved this book. It’s so hard to find good dragon books where the dragons aren’t the enemy. Freaking LOVE Violet, and her love interest.

My only disappointment and it’s not really that disappointing. But it’s the fact that I basically guessed what was gonna happen. But that didn’t take away from how good the story was.

Flew through this book every time I picked it up, and loved every moment of this ride. Cannot wait for book 2!!!!!

To say the hype is real with this book is an understatement! The first 30% started out slow for me mainly due to a lack of engaging world building, but once the action picked up I literally couldn’t put this book down. I loved the personality of the dragons, Violet was such a great narrator, and the romance plot was *chef’s kiss.* Can’t wait for book two!!
