I could not pick this, try to be different, give 4 stars on menial complaints and yet I would just be lying to myself that I didn’t fucking love this book like everyone else.
Fourth Wing is so good. The idea is good, the plot is good, the dragons are awesome, the romance is amazing. But I think the reason I loved this book is because of Violet herself.
As a first person narrator the pressure is high to be enjoyable. But I loved her so much. She was strong, persevering, kind, intelligent, sassy and funny and just straight up BAD ASS like what else could I possible want from her? She was aware of her weaknesses in a way that made her so powerful.
She is forced into the Rider Quadrant after training to be a Scribe her whole life. Despite having a body that’s prone to injury, she is indestructible. And she fucking takes the bull by the horns and runs. She crushes it every step of the way, working with her body and mind to overcome the trials and tests she faces as a cadet and then as a rider.
I really liked how naturally, history and facts about the world were given to the reader because of the way Violet spewed facts when she was nervous. It worked really well.
Xaden was sexy from the first page he was on. And even though this might try to be enemies to lovers more of a Romeo and Juliette. Violet and Xaden’s parents may hav even enemies but they never really were. This man crumbled for her and I’m just as obsessed with him as he is with her. Xaden looks at Violet and all he sees is her strength, her courage, and how fucking hot she is. Is he wrong?
The dragons. The DRAGONS. Please I need more dragons. I love them so much and the bond between the rider and dragon is so fucking beautiful. I can’t wait to see more of this grow in other books. Tairn is such a great character, giving badass and grumpy old man all at once . Goldie is just the fucking cutest with her lil paws.
Now, bare with me. Dain. This fucking prick. I’ve never met a bigger ick, a bigger dick, a bigger piece of cowardly SHIT. I literally cannot talk enough trash about this man. If he gets a redemption arc it should be death.
Liam. My baby. I’m so sorry. Have my heart.
This book was definitely a set up for the world and magic system. I will say the writing was a little confusing at times. I wasn’t really sure how we moved from one scene to the next. The battle scenes and descriptions of the land layout were also a bit hard to follow at times. But overall, I fucking loved this book and will be at a loss until November comes around!
