Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

5.0

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

Violet Sorrengail is nothing like her family name . Born frail + smaller than most means she is always getting hurt or sick + constantly is in pain . Unlike like her dragon riding sister or her mother who was a rider but is now general in command, Violet only ever prepared to be a scribe . So when she finds herself being forced by the hand of her mother to become a rider, Violet knows she has no choice but to adapt quickly + use her incredible mind to save herself .. or die trying . With never ending trials trying to wean out the weak, endless amounts of enemies trying to kill her because of her last name + secrets being used as currency .. Violet knows she can only trust herself .

Xaden Riorson is everything his family name proceeds him to be . A third year wingleader who is the most powerful + ruthless of all Basgiath War College . A traitor who bears the mark of a relic to remind the world that his father led the rebellion . Hate burns through Xaden with every breathe he takes + it all is directed at the daughter of the women who killed his father, Violet Sorrengail . Until new information comes to light + Xaden learns that he needs Violet in his life more than he ever bargained for . But nothing prepared him for the way their lives would become entangled forever .

I can not explain to you how absolutely perfect this book is . From the very first page you’re hooked on this fast paced adventure that has no sign of slowing down . Just when you think there is nothing more that can be thrown at you, you turn the page + are sucker punched with a shock or twist so big that you have to keep reading . The drama, secrets, violence, lust, friendships, enemies, lies, world building + just overall flow and build of the whole book is fantastic . I laughed out loud, bawled my eyes out, held my breath while I feared what was to come next + was transported to a world where I felt like I was right there with Violet, ever step of the way . The best fantasy book I have ever read + instantly has become my new obsession .

THIS BOOK DOES END ON A CLIFFHANGER + book two isn’t out until November 7th, 2023 !!
