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!!!!!

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ!!!!

this is the first fantasy I've ever read and it was absolutely amazing, not hard to follow at all but definitely not dumbed down. I think this book is perfect for people new to fantasy or lovers of the genre. 

highly recommend, please read this

I hesitated to go for this book with all the hype around it. I’ve been let down before but honestly? It was the best book I’ve read all year - if not in the last several years.

The world building is unique, the characters are complex, the relationships and political dynamics are intriguing. The FMC best asset is her brain. 

I’ve never had a book that I desperately wanted to both savor and devour as I have this one.

Animal death refers to dragons. There is a lot of death and loss. If you are sensitive to that, tread carefully. Nothing is too graphic as far as injuries but they are frequent.

Really enjoyed the world building and the pace of the book. Mostly plot, with spice. Can’t wait for the next one

Do agree with this TikTok and some of their critique on the writing style of the author. Well, it wasn’t enough to completely take me out of the story and DNF the book. It was a little bit jarring.

Dragons, romance, betrayal?  What more can you ask for?

We got banter, tension, badass women, and a sexy, morally gray love interest.

I cannot wake for the next book, and I’m so thankful we have to wait only six months.  I will not be able to sleep peacefully until I get my hands on it.

Although I could’ve predicted the betrayal, I was not prepared for the twist at the end!
