Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
2.5
You know how you have trash tv? This is the book equivalent.
Fourth Wing, aka Sexy Dragon Murder School, left me feeling like I do after binge-watching reality tv. The writing isn’t great, the characters are childish, and it’s all about the drama. But hey, sometimes you just feel like grabbing a glass of wine and enjoying a moment of trash.
My biggest complaint is the characters. I knew going in that this book would follow along super typical romantasy tropes, and that would be fine except I didn’t care about what happened to any of the characters, including the MC. She was really whiny, always needed saving, and I swear she just has zero self-preservation. I can’t tell you how many times I was screaming “just go be a scribe then!!” (though I admittedly warmed up to her a little by the end).
One thing I will say is this isn’t a boring book. The pace is very steady throughout and it’s fairly action-packed.
I don’t judge anyone for loving this book, it’s certainly entertaining, but I would never consider it a literary masterpiece.
