In the wise words of the late Sir Terry Pratchett: “Susan hated Literature. She’d much prefer to read a good book.” (Soul Music, 1999)
Such a statement perfectly sums up my feelings regarding seasoned contemporary romance author Rebecca Yarros’ first foray into the fantasy world. Fourth Wing is a rip-roaring, breathlessly exciting war school fantasy featuring high stakes, a tough as nails heroine, a brooding love interest, epic power-up moments, and wonderfully sarcastic dragons. High literature it is not, but it’s still the best book I’ve read all year.
