January 2024 | Fourth Wing | KCK Soapery

My young colleagues were mostly raving about this book "Fourth Wing",   So I decided  to read it just to see why.  Rebecca Yarros is a phenomenal story writer is why.  It's a book you can't put down once you started.

Violet grew up preparing to be a scribe for Basgiath War College where her mom was the commanding general.  All her life she was trained to read, record and be the best scribe.  But her mom basically forced her be a dragon rider.  Violet is a small, very fragile young woman whose bones always get dislocated or broken but she has the sharpest very intelligent mind.  She  has to use her intelligence not just to survive passing the obstacles and tests, but to survive other cadets who hates her mom.  Every cadet joining the dragon rider face the likelihood of being killed in the obstables or be killed by fellow cadets.  

Xaden, a guy Mira (Violet's sister) warned her to avoid at all cost.  But the chemistry between them is very strong right from the very beginning when they first laid eyes on each other.  

The dragons were all so likable and menacing at the same time.  They will bond with a first year  who survived the gauntlet and they deemed fit to bond with or they can torch you just because you said something they don't like or you looked at them the wrong way.

It's a very entertaining fantasy book full of action, witty and whimsical with a hot dose of steamy romance. 

Thank you for stopping by and don't hesitate to read this book.  I got this book from the library but bought the "Iron Flame" just because I don't want to wait for my turn for days.  Had to continue and will continue once the rest of the empyrean book are released.
