Review of Fourth Wing

"Fourth Wing" invites readers into the captivating and dangerous world of the Empyrean series, penned by bestselling author Rebecca Yarros. In this fantasy adventure, twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail's life takes a drastic turn when she's unexpectedly thrust into the ranks of dragon riders—a prestigious and perilous position in the war-torn realm of Navarre.

Violet was destined for the Scribe Quadrant, a life of quiet contemplation and learning. However, her commanding and formidable mother, the general of the dragon riders, forces her to join the fiercely competitive candidates vying to bond with dragons. The stakes are high as dragons bond with few humans, and those who fail to bond are incinerated. With her smaller stature and fragile appearance, Violet faces discrimination and the constant threat of death, especially from ruthless individuals like Xaden Riorson, a formidable wingleader.

As war rages outside the college's walls and the kingdom's protective wards weaken, Violet realizes that a dark secret may be concealed by those in leadership. Amid a web of friendships, rivalries, and potential romance, Violet must navigate the treacherous landscape of Basgiath War College, where survival is not guaranteed, and only two outcomes await: graduation or death.
