I kept seeing people raving about this on Booktok. I finally gave in and read it, and I hate to say I was so disappointed. It was a very slow and boring read for me. I skimmed so much. I kept going thinking it would get better any minute because of the things I had seen about it but that never happened. It did not start getting interesting to me until the last 20%. The relationship between her and Lee had less chemistry than 2 friends. It all just fell very flat. Maybe it was the writing style? I didn’t enjoy the descriptions or the inner monologues. The trials weren’t well explained and described and so it just wasn’t exciting. I think the idea and premise is interesting but the execution didn’t land for me.

Everyone has been raving about this book so of course I had to do read it! Fourth Wing but make it wolves, you say? Gimme, gimme, gimme! And yes, I loved it, I truly did. I love the slum/urban setting of Sturmfrost that we open up to, especially the fact that Meryn is an underground street fighter - I really enjoyed that aspect! I really loved the world building too, it's not complicated but it sets a nice scene and history to carry the story.
Meryn aims to join the front line in a war against the vampires for her sister's sake and ends up on the path to becoming bonded with a direwolf and I really loved this. From the moment she reaches the castle, the training, the classes, the trials and the losses she has to endure to prove herself fully bonded is exhilarating. There is so much action and excitement in the middle of this book that it never seems to drag.
Throughout the story there is this constant feel of dread that lingers, as if you don't really know who to trust. I really enjoyed all the mystery, all the little things that made me feel like certain things were suspicious or didn't make sense and I think that there were some really bloody good plot twists in the story. I was hooked! I can't say anything about the romance though because that would be a huge spoiler. The ending was absolutely insane and I cannot wait for Fury Bound.
