Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros 

“But I will not run. I wouldn’t be standing here if I’d quit every time something seemed impossible to overcome. I will not die today” 
-Violet 

“I would rather lose this entire war than live without you and if that means I have to prove myself over and over then I’ll do it. You gave me your heart & I’m keeping it” 
-Xaden 

SUMMARY: 
Violet Sorrengail, a twenty-year-old slated for a quiet life among books, is thrust into the world of dragon riding against her will by her tough mother, the commanding general. With her frail physique and the danger of dragons rejecting her as a rider, Violet faces hostility from fellow candidates, including the formidable Xaden Riorson. As war looms and suspicions of leadership mount, Violet must rely on her intellect to survive amidst a web of alliances and betrayals at Basgiath War College, where graduation or death are the only outcomes.

MY THOUGHTS 💭 
OKAAAYYYYY tell me why I waited so long to read this book!!!!!!!! It’s like Hunger Games meets Harry Potter. 

This book gives you everything you’d want in a romantasy: drama, amazing characters, action, betrayal, romance, tension. I freaking ADORED this book! 

Violet: one of my favorite female main characters ever. She is so brave & determined. She’s bets on herself over & over throughout this book- even when so many told her she’d never be good enough. She’s so inspiring 🖤 you can’t help but root for her. 

Xaden!!!!!! He is a powerful & BRUTAL leader. I freaking love him. He only gets more interesting & better as the book goes on. The tension between him & Violet is just 😫❤️

The dragons were AMAZING! I freaking loved the banter. I never expected that I would be so invested in dragons but here I am 😅🐉

This book ends on a cliffhanger - so on to Iron Flame I go 🐉⚔️🏔️
