"Suspenseful, sexy, and with incredibly entertaining storytelling, the first in Yarros' Empyrean series will delight fans of romantic, adventure-filled fantasy."—Booklist, starred review
"Fourth Wing will have your heart pounding from beginning to end ... A fantasy like you've never read before."?Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away … because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom’s protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.
Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Majority of the book is you listening to every horny thought the main character has with excruciating detail, nothing of importance happens there is a little world building virtually no character development unless one counts being horny all the time as character development. The last quarter of the book is where it shines and why it is so popular, it was exciting, emotional and entertaining. If the first 3/4th of the book wasn't so painful to get through i would have given it a 5/5

I am disappointed . I did not like the female mc . She is every bit the result of nepotism and favouritism . The world building also does not make sense . It's a mediaeval world how can women be so empowered ? Gender dynamics are not addressed at all . Using modern day words and mannerism also make it a little confusing. It's fast paced and the romance is intriguing enough to keep interest though and obviously dragons.

The entire book was 3 stars, however THAT ending made me add another star. Last 6/7 chapters were super interesting.

This book is a great fantasy book with an amazing world & magic system that made me attached to it. My only quirk is that it has about 20% of smut & bullshit, other than that I loved this book.That ending made me gwak 🥰🥰🥰🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I liked it. If it had lesser romance it would have been nicer. Fast paced.

A good try at something different than Harry Potter but then somethings are said just to increase the number of pages of the book I think. Its very similar to other series like Divergent etc so if you are a fan of those series you will like this one

I imagine they took the whole book and dipped it in heroin before publishing. That’d explain why I simply couldn’t stop reading.

Fast paced, addictive and intense!Perfect book to get you out of a reading slump. This is exactly what your looking for if you like the blend of fantasy & romance genres. The dragons were as exciting as the enemies to lovers subplot.
