Magic, dragons, friends and adventure, Fourth Wing by Rebbeca Yarros is a romantasy about a young women who enrolls to become an elite dragon rider at the famous war college, Basigath. Violet Sorrengail, our protagonist in the story, is nothing like her sister or mother. Riding a dragon let forth war on a dragon was not on her to-do list, the Archives were, but fate never liked happy endings. And soon Violet learns that mistakes can be the last thing you do.  Despite people looking down on her ,Violet preserves and turns her liabilities into her weapons, which she could use against her “real” enemies. 

The highlights of the novel were definitely the plot and the characters. Whether you hate or love the characters in the novel, there is still something there that pulls you towards a certain character. They don’t just become your favorite, they become a part of you. 

The plot was also a 5-star in my book. I have always had trouble reading, but when I finally got to reading Fourthwing, I was in Fourth Wing prison. The details were so descriptive that it feels like you’re part of those adventures instead of simply reading them. 

Something that was underwhelming about the book, and honestly a downside of it was how it supposedly had an ongoing “enemies to lovers trope” . Though in reality the enemies were barely enemies, the tension between our lovers was distinguished so fast, you wonder if you missed something.

Even with its successes and flaws, Fourth Wing holds a special place in my heart, and if there were an option to forget about the book and its story, I would choose it, just to read it all over again.
