It was almost hard to get into but as the story gained momentum I couldnt put it down. Both the romance and adventure made me crave more constantly.

Obviously I loved it, but honestly I couldn't stand hearing the kiss and spicy scene noises in my ears, this is probably a personal preference but it affected my enjoyment of part 2 a lot. Of course, I love Xaden's voice actor, I really enjoyed the last chapter which was his pov, which was something I hated a lot in the normal audiobook as I really disliked Xaden's voice actor, so yay for that :) I actually didn't cry this time for Liam but I did when I reread the normal audiobook, but I think it might just be because I listened to both very close to each other, so it's probably my fault. I really liked the battle scene noises and it helped me visualise the scenes way better with the wings flapping the wind.

Much like a Court of Thorns and Rose's, I found the writing distractingly unpolished for about the first third of the book but powered through because I'd heard such good things. Sure enough, once we got to know some dragons as characters, I was hooked and once the romance spiced up, I wasn't even paying attention to the prose anymore.
I am definitely going to continue the series, especially given the cliffhanger this one ended on.
Fourth Wing is about a girl named Violet whose mother and siblings are bad ass dragon riders but who was training to be a scribe like her father, who unfortunatelypassed away a few years before we enter the story. Her harsh mother decrees that Violet must join the academy of dragon riders instead, knowing full well that Violet's small size and connective tissue disorder will put her at a potentially lethal disadvantage. Against all odds, Violet makes it through both the intimidating entrance challenge and every other challenge the school throws at her, making friends and allies along the way as well as a few enemies. Yet the person she thought would be her biggest threat, the son of the rebellion leader her mother subdued, seems mysteriously drawn to her instead.
By the end of the novel, we cross from individual-level fight for survival to realm-level war and intrigue.

The gore warning is off, it's not bad. The warning for explicit sex scenes should be higher. I love the book though and recommend it.savirisu's review against another edition

Fast paced, perfectly lengthed chapters, full of so many kinds of tension, and an ending that makes you want to tear your hair out (in a good way) - this is a book that will make you irresponsible with your sleep schedule!
