Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

5.0

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“But I will not run. I wouldn't be standing here if I'd quit every time something seemed impossible to overcome. I will not die today.”

I think I need to just start out by saying this book deserves all the hype it has gotten. I couldn't put this book down as soon as I flipped open to the first page. This book has definitely made it into my top favorite books of all time and absolutely is my most recent hyperfixation.

Rebecca's Yarros' writing is absolutely stunning - I wasn't confused one moment with any of the world-building, I was immediately transported into the world and felt like I was right there training alongside everyone at Basgiath. All of her characters - even side characters - had so much depth and crept their way into your heart, or had you rooting for their ugly demise.

Our FMC, Violet, is the perfect depiction of an underdog turned badass and I found myself so mesmerized by her journey. I can definitely relate to her in many ways so her perseverance and growth are so inspiring to me (I know I won't ever be a dragon rider, but maybe I won't always be such an underdog OKAY!!
