Fourth Wing Book Review

Fourth Wing 

By Rebecca Yarros

Fantasy Romance

Published May 2, 2023

I really didn’t have any clue what this book was about except it was fantasy and included dragons. What I did know that several of my co~workers were talking about the books on Facebook. I was able to download it on my Kindle for free!  It took me about 3 days of reading it to finish the book. 

Violet (MC) was well written. I felt like I was with her every step of the way for her training to be a rider. Her dragon was extremely large and powerful whose name is Tairn. 

Violet’s mother forced her into the Riders Quadrant.  Unfortunately Violet has an unspecified chronic disease that affects her connective tissue and making her joints weak. Which means that it’s hard for her to keep her seat while riding Tairn. 

The characters were all written perfectly. A few of the characters were obnoxious. I am a little obsessed with Xaden and Violet. Also Rhi, Liam, Ridoc and Mira. Every character was so detailed. Read the book I’ll become part of the characters, And love the dragons as well. Everyone is so vivid and full of life. The plot twist towards the end was literally shocking.

Violet finds herself in a complicated relationship with Xaden, a wing leader with his own secrets. Will Violet and Xaden be able to fully trust one another? 

There are four wings for riders at Basgiath. Each wings makeup is identical. The wings or how cadets are kept orderly and function under peer command.

Wing leader is a student elected by leadership to be in charge of the entire wing. Xaden is the wing leader and should not be allowed to frolic with the students under him. For me that makes the book more interesting tome. I have always been a rule breaker myself. 

If you’re looking to read a good fantasy series do not sleep on these books by Rebecca Yarros.
