Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
5.0

OK, OK, I GET IT!

I've been putting off reading this for so long because of 'the internet'. I honestly thought it might be a DNF, but fuck, I loved every second of it.

I love fantasy about dragons. Eragon is probably my all time favourite series. On the other hand, I do not enjoy much romance, I find it very cringe and exhausting. So going into Fourth Wing, which I always see spoken about as a romantasy, I really didn't know how I was going to find it.

I was hooked from the first page!

The book only gets really romance heavy for 2 or 3 chapters. And although the word 'clit' is used in them 2 or 3 chapters approximately 7000 times, I still managed to get through it without it taking away from the rest of the book.

I'm shocked that people say that Fourth Wing is poorly written. I thought it was well written, with interesting characters and plot, great pacing and page turning intrigue. There were parts where I genuinely had goosebumps.

AND THAT ENDING! I had to go straight into Iron Flame and The Empyrean is being added to my favourite series of all time.

If you've been putting off Fourth Wing because of the hype this is your sign to finally give in - it's worth the hype I promise!
