It’s no literary masterpiece and the “breadcrumbs” to the plot twists are shockingly obvious but it’s an entertaining and enjoyable read. Very cliche in many ways and world is barely built but I am hoping book too gives us more details. Violet is fun though her medical condition is never explained well and often doesn’t make sense. Xaden is so clearly a photocopy of every other “rebellious dark haired love interest” very in the veins of Castile from FBAA and Rysand from ACOTAR. The dragons were my favorite part with their dry humor

That was not the ending!!! That could not be the ending. Omg talk about ending on a freaking cliff hanger. So rude. I was really hesitant to read this book, especially since everyone was raving about it. Generally, those books don’t live up to the hype. This one ABSOLUTELY did. I was pleasantly surprised by how obsessed with this book I became. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering what would come next. I couldn’t predict a lot of what happened, and at this point, that’s hard to do. As amazing as the plot and spice is, which was tasteful, it was the vast of characters that drew me in. Violet is one of the best main characters I’ve ever read. She felt so real and truly leapt of the page, and you can’t not love Xaden either. It was the side characters like Rhi and Liam that really made me love it. Honestly, I just loved it all. Now for the tortuous wait for the sequel.
What just happened? The last line has me in shambles. This was so crazy to read.

Utterly Addictive and Unforgettable
Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing is the kind of book that reminds you why you fell in love with reading in the first place. It’s electric, emotional, and unputdownable—the rare fantasy novel that makes you laugh one minute, cry the next, and clutch the pages like your heart depends on it.
Why it soars above the rest:
Characters you can’t stop rooting for.
Violet is an unforgettable heroine—fierce, vulnerable, and wickedly funny. Her determination to survive the brutal trials of Basgiath War College while never losing her spark makes her instantly endearing. And Xaden? He’s the kind of brooding, complex character who steals both scenes and hearts. Their banter is sharp, playful, and often laugh-out-loud hilarious.
Emotional depth.
Beyond the humor, Yarros doesn’t shy away from heartbreak. There are scenes that hit with such raw power they leave you in tears—moments of loss, resilience, and hard-won triumph that linger long after you close the book.
Dragons with personality.
The dragons are more than majestic beasts; they’re characters in their own right—witty, intimidating, and often surprisingly funny. Their bond with riders is both thrilling and deeply moving.
Relentless pacing. From deadly challenges to jaw-dropping twists, the story keeps you on edge. Yet in between the battles and betrayals, Yarros gives us quieter, heartfelt moments that make the intensity all the more impactful.
A perfect blend of heart and humor. This book had me grinning and snorting at the banter one chapter, then wiping away tears the next. Few novels manage to balance levity and gravity so seamlessly.
Final Thoughts:
Fourth Wing isn’t just a book—it’s an experience. It’s laughter bubbling up during moments of camaraderie, it’s heartbreak that squeezes your chest, it’s the thrill of dragons soaring through the skies, and it’s the ache of characters you don’t want to let go of. Rebecca Yarros has created something extraordinary here: a fantasy novel with the emotional resonance of the best love stories and the heart-racing tension of the fiercest adventures.
This isn’t just five stars—it’s five stars plus. A masterpiece of fantasy that I’ll be recommending to anyone who wants a story that makes them feel everything.
