A fantasy like you've never read before." ―1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout 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. The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

    • Fantastic Fantasy
This book begins with a map to help the reader navigate the fantasy world in the pages. Violet is weaker than others, but her mother, the General at Basgiath War College, has enrolled her to become a dragon rider. I love that her issues are mentioned in the book but not fully identified. I picked up this story based on other reviews, chronic illness in the pages, and the overall hype about it. This book starts out right away with the action-adventure and edge-of-your-seat moments. Dain is nice, hot, and has a history with Violet, but intimacy is forbidden. Xaden is intriguing. He is complicated, male, and scary. This book is absolutely addicting. You don't want to put it down. The Riders Quadrants is like an academy with only the best surviving. Violet is brilliant but at a disadvantage with her disability. This storyline is a mix of the dragon riders from "Eragon "and the heroine-heavy storyline of "Divergent." The story is gritty and rife with trials of heroism. But this fantasy is thrilling, fascinating, and exciting. I absolutely love Violet's grit. Violet is a particular case because of her empathy and cunningness. Still, she is also in a love triangle, choosing between her friend and her enemy. The dragon gifts are otherworldly and amazing. This story is about edge-of-seat, non-stop life and death, but our heroine grows stronger daily. This story gets steamy, but her intimate moment is with the last person I expected it to be. They have more of an armed truce. Omg her power is so good. 😊 it gets new adult steamy and brings in the enemies-to-lovers trope. Oh, so the romance finally makes its way into a fantasy story. Of course, their explosive intimacy gets sidetracked by an attack. Ah, the love triangle is tested and broken as she finally decides, it is slowly coming anyway. The end of this is very twisted and immensely intense. The mythological creatures in the book become more than just the dragons. Action-packed, life and death are hanging in the balance of their decisions, with one massive surprise at the end. Yes, this ends in a cliffhanger. I'm still rooting for Violet and Xaden, no matter what side they are on; these dragon riders have completely stolen my heart. What a fantastic read! This book is worth all the hype and more. I love the blurb at the end and the author identifying herself in the characters. The fact that she is chronically ill also makes my heart swell as she portrays her characters amazingly. I adore that this book is more new adult and not steamy every other chapter or page. I love that action and adventure, as well as the angst; it sucks you into the story so completely. The political stuff in this book is way more constant, with the rebellion and the Navarrian characters having to navigate around each other in the same setting. ... show more

    • Epic, breathtaking and consumed my every thought
Fourth Wing was epic, breathtaking and consumed my every thought. This is easily one of my top favorite books, ever. This book had me screaming from excitement, gasping from betrayal, and crying all the happy and sad tears. Foreshadowing of what was to come was secretly laced into the pages, leaving us with the feeling of dread that was all consuming. The betrayals cut deep. The friendships were beautiful. The enemies to lovers romance was a slow burn that was passionate and steamy. And the battles were intense and epic. If you love romantasy, you definitely need this one on your tbr! Violet Sorrengail is one of my favorite heroines. She was smart, cunning and brave. She was so easy to connect to and feel all of her emotions. She thought she was destined to enter the Scribe Quadrant, but her mother changed her future. As the commanding general, her mother forced Violet to go to the Basgiath War College. And there she would either survive and become a dragon rider or die trying like countless others. The trials she went through were gutting, and I found myself cheering out loud for her every step of the way! Violet is a heroine that you can respect and love! Xanden Riorson was someone that was so easy to obsess over. He was Violet's enemy, because his parents had a rebellion that went against Violet's mom. In punishment, he and the other children of those who rebelled had to attend the Basgiarth War College. Yet by the end of Chapter 7 I was definitely betraying Violet, I was obsessed. Xaden was smart, sly and seemed honorable. His subtle banter with Violet was EVERYTHING! So when Violet would follow through with one his suggestions for training, I was grinning from ear to ear. And when he taught her how to grapple on the mats, it was so hot *fans face*. It seemed like Xaden was trying to protect Violet, yet in her world deception and backstabbing were done without a second thought. So while I was under his spell, I still didn't know whether I could trust him or not. I kept whispering for him not to betray her. This world was fascinating! Maybe I was putting the clues together wrong, but it seemed like not everything was as black and white as Violet was taught. All the while, others around her elicited so many emotions. It was terrifying not knowing who you could trust. There were those who had no problem killing a threat, or just killing for fun. Even the grappling was intense, and I was shocked with my mouth left hanging open over how that would play out. Broken bones were the least of your concerns. So as people showed their true colors over time, some of that made my blood simmer. But at the same time, be careful who you get attached to. Death found some of them too soon. One especially I still can't handle, even after finishing this book *sobs*. The dragons in this book were larger than life! I can't say much, because of spoilers, but the conversations and interactions were spellbinding. Also I loved the friendships that were formed between the humans. They were the type of friendships where you knew they would do anything to protect your life. Which is desperately needed since life and death moments were always present. Throughout this story, there was always this charge in the air that left me terrified of what was to come. And it was impossible not to have sweaty palms during some of the scenes or to feel your heart pounding in your chest! Plus the twists and turns were done beautifully! Some of it I saw coming, but others left me with my mind blown! With the most epic of last lines, this book left us at the perfect spot where we can breathe. For a bit. Yet you'll still be left desperately wanting to grab that next one! With emotions and tensions running high, this was an action packed ride! The dragons, sparring, battles, political intrigue, friendships, and scorching hot and seductive scenes made this book beyond memorable. It had my whole heart in the palm of its hand and made me cry all the tears! Fourth Wing was beyond addictive and will easily become a favorite for romantasy fans! PS The nickname that was given to Violet? I loved it so much! ... show more
