im very late to reading this book but im finally here and i must say its worth the hype. 

is fourth wing the most unique fantasy ive ever come across? no, in fact it reminded me of red queen in a lot of ways. does this mean it wasn’t enjoyable? no! i think it was well written, the plot was well-paced, the cliffhanger ending made me really happy im reading this once the next part is already out haha. 
violet and xaden’s romance is also great. the sex scenes are well written and prioritise female pleasure (score!). i do wish some of the characters were fleshed out more but there’s still time for that over the series. 
i also listened to the dramatised audiobook for some chapters and i must say the spicy scenes were kinda crazy to listen to - would definitely recommend however as it was so well produced. 

in general i was positively surprised bc i heard a lot of people say it’s majorly overhyped and while it wasn’t the best thing ive ever read it was definitely very good!! i haven’t finished a book in quite a few months but fourth wing was the one that got me there!
