Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros got my attention right from the start and kept it all the way to the end! What a fantastic read if you like fantasy with dragons mixed with relationships. Violet is a great character, the youngest in her family who finds herself in war college for dragon riders when she had her heart set on being scribe like her father. Her mother, the commanding general, ordered her to go in the dragon rider quadrant against her wishes. This book is all about her first year at the war college. Violet is small, weak, doesn't want to fight but is also smart and clever.
I loved this book because of the characters, the action, and the dragons. Violet is an underdog who tries to overcome her weaknesses and beat the odds stacked against her. She soon finds a target on her back because of who her mother is. Violet is so nice and vulnerable that it was easy to root for her. At some points, I cheered out loud and laughed out loud. It had a lot of humor too! I really enjoyed the connection with the dragons and Xaden is awesome! So glad I can jump right into the second book in this series. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
In Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, Violet wants to be a scribe, but her mom has other plans for her and is running the show. Consequently, Violet goes to school to be a dragon rider and help defend her country. Her sister and friends tell her not to do this. Violet goes anyway because she does not want to live with wondering what if she had made it.
This book is very good from early on. It has a great storyline and plenty of action. I'll have to wait a few months for book 2, but looking forward to it! (5++ stars)
