Fourth Wing Review! 3.5 ๐
This book is very entertaining. There is a lot of action, dragons, "badass" characters and hot romance. Everything most readers are looking for, hence the hype this book got. I can say I read this very fast as there was a lot of action and the language was easy to read. I don't think it is great writing (for starters the excessive use of the word "hot"), for instance the world building was lacking, the dialogues were often eye roll worthy, some characters were cringey. It reads as an enjoyable fanfic, kind of reminds me of Twilight. Not great writing but enjoyable and hence popular because they are easy to read, but not popular for its writing and literary style. Again, quality of writing wasn't quite complex, which not everyone enjoys anyways so it just depends what kind of writing style you like.
This is definitely a great beginner romantic fantasy for the casual fantasy reader. It doesn't mean it is not enjoyable it just means that if a fantasy reader reads this they would know this is not a unique plotline or idea, and that the development of characters, storyline and worldbuilding is not quite there. But then again, not every fantasy book has to be Tolkein level fantasy and I get it! This is more accessible and understanding the target audience can also help us review this book more fairly.
The twists weren't that impressive either and the narration felt very juvenille and "teenagy".
The pros, the dragons and Liam. Loved the dragons! Great characters. And of course Liam. I did enjoy part of the romance, not the sex scenes as much but the romance and deep connection between the characters was very sweet.
This book was full of action, very quick to read, smutty.
Will I read the next book? Maybe! (Probably)
Do I recommend it? Yes! I think you should give it a try, you will definitely enjoy it.
