Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

adventurous tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

2.0

Update: I tried to reread this via ebook, hoping I just hated the audiobook narrator. I want to love this series the way everyone else does, but I just don’t. I don’t like the writing, the dialogue is pretty cringy, and I don’t like the characters very much. I love the dragons, but that’s really it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Fourth Wing has A LOT of hype. Maybe I’m missing something because it definitely wasn’t a 5⭐️ read for me, but it was still fun. I feel like a lot of the plot was predictable, and I wish the romance packed a bigger punch. This reads very YA, which is fine, but I would have preferred more depth to the writing for this type of story. Overall, I can see why people are loving this book. If you want an easy-to-read fantasy romance book, you’ll probably like this!

Side note: I disliked the audiobook narrator because I felt like the voice did not match the main character. I recommend reading this one physically if you’re able to!
