Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
2.0
Oh no... I had such high hopes (maybe this ruined it for me) and I am disappointed. That is not to say that i hated this book, I actually liked how readable it was.
First of all - there IS potential in this story for me. I liked the world whcih Yarros created for us, especially the connections between dragons and their riders which I felt was explored to an extent and provided a nice dimension to the book.
But the writting, the plot.. GIRL. Please put the ACOTAR down, and focus on creating greater stakes, as I genuinely did not care about most people in this book that I was supposed to care about. Relationships felt formulaic and purely cringe... things happened too conveniently at all times and the tension was never high enough for me to get truly invested. The worldbuilding was as basic as it gets, as readers you get forced fed details and important information with no showing.
Also, I went into this quaking and shaking in anticipation for an enemies to lovers story... and even here I was disappointed
