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.

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!!!!!
