Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from #1 New York Times 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.

What I Enjoyed:

• World Building: I loved diving into the world of dragons and war collage filled with magic.
• The FMC Violet Sorrengail: I loved that Violet would always manage to overcome the challenges thrown her way to become an elite dragon rider especially with how she has a chronic condition that has made her body more brittle compared to the other cadets. I loved how her strength is shown both physically and mentally which then transfers over to her connection with the dragons.
• Supporting Characters: With the book set in a war collage with dragons you know that there will be supporting characters. There were multiple sub-plots that I very much enjoyed reading.

What I Didn’t Enjoy:

Remember this is what I didn’t like so it could be completely different for each person!

For me the first couple of chapters were a little slow but after that it starts to pick the pace up so the rest of the book makes up for it!

Overall Score:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My overall score for Fourth Wing is 5 stars. This action packed adventure with dragons and romance had me hooked. I had a hard time putting the book down.
