If Hermonie Granger were the main heroine of Harry Potter and she was a bit older, this would be that book.

Part 2 of Fourth Wing was pretty entertaining.   Part 1 focuses on the war college at Basgaith and Part 2 is the break away/rebellion. 

I knew going in there is at least 1 more book to this story. I'm not happy about this ending. So unhappy, I'm not sure if I will pick up Part 3. Its not that the story isn't good, it just seems to be falling back on the same ole same ole.

The spice in part 2 is tamer than in part 1. Thankfully we are not subjected to intimate details for EVERY trist.  Honestly the story is good enough you don't need the spice.

I both read the book and listened to the audiobook, alternating with my availability. I was able to finish the 650 page book in less than a week.
