Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

5.0

Fourth Wing, by Rebecca Yarros, is a fast-paced, new adult Fantasy. It has relatively long chapters (mostly because the font and margins are small). 

Most of you may already know it, as it was a Bookstagram/Booktok sensation some months ago. I'm a little late to the party, but I have to say, I agree with everyone.

I was hooked as soon as I started reading! The writing is quite simple to understand and read, unlike other fantasy books I've read. There isn't as much world building and details, so it's not confusing at all and you're immediately sucked into the story!

Fourth Wing is suspenseful, action-packed, with an enemies-to-lovers trope, and a bit of spice 🌶️ I'd say it's mostly 2 chapters or so, but with the slow burn, it's *chef's kiss*

Other than the spice, I really liked the whole world and concept of the book. I loved the dragons, the powers and *most* characters (IYKYK)
I liked that Violet is not the typical main character, in the sense that she has flaws and struggles to take her place. She's not meant to be there and has to prove herself. She's not perfect and learns to deal with the cards she has.

Imagine Harry Potter, meets Hunger Games, meets Divergent, meets How to Train Your Dragon. 

I hesitated to read it because I've often been disappointed by - in my opinion - overhyped books on Bookstagram and Booktok. BUT, it did not disappoint! I'm really happy I read it and can't wait to read the next book!
