I’m a contrary kind of reader, when I see book reviews full of hype and positivity I become wary. My socks have already been blown off before I’ve started reading and my expectations become unobtainably high. Will I still enjoy it? Sometimes, but it’s rare that I’ll match the energy of the other reviews and it will become a book that I will obsess over. Fourth Wing is one of these rare exceptions.
Violet has spent her whole life training to be a scribe, but as she enters Basgiath College, she does it aiming to be a cadet for the deadly, dangerous and violent riders. A brutal place where Violet is encouraged to make allies, not friends, and not get attached to anyone because every day might be their last. Not naturally built to face such physical challenges, there’s a target on her back. Not to mention the dragons, who don’t bond with weak humans.
This book has everything: a great premise, a strong female lead, characters to fall in love with, magic, suspense, chemistry and tension that’ll make your temperature rise and a plot that is never shy about having a sting in its tale. I was hooked from the first page and having to put it down to sleep and work has taken a combination of self-control I never knew I possessed and a need for the story not to end just yet. I read the final chapters from between my fingers and with tears in my eyes, and once I’ve calmed down I’ll be picking it up to re-read and I’ll be going straight to pre-order Iron Flame. For Sarah J. Maas fans it has everything ACOTAR has, and more, plus dragons! I’m desperate to find out what happens next.

About
Fourth Wing Synopsis
Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last . . .
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.
Alliances will be forged. Lives will be lost. Traitors will become allies . . . or even lovers. But sleep with one eye open because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
