When I was small I wanted to be a dragon when I grew up. Movies like How to Train Your Dragon (easily the best movies and animated series there is and ever will be) only made my love for them grow. I'm an avid reader of mythology and mythology inspired books (aka Percy Jackson among others) and have been a mainly romance and fantasy reader. It was only a matter of time before I read the Fourth Wing. I was blown away by it. The book has a little bit of everything, magic, powers, combat, slow burn romance, a Hunger Games/Divergent/Shatter Me dystopian aspect to it, and of course, dragons. It fits right into the type of books I love to get lost in. I read it in two days and I'm writing this right after I've finished it. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I loved the dragons we got to meet, the golden feathertail is my favorite. Violet is around my height according to the posts I've seen, I'm 5'2" and it makes me feel seen. I'm not tall or strong either, and like me she saw herself working as a scribe (in my case as a librarian or in a bookshop). Xaden surprised me, when he first showed up I though he would be the typical bad boy whose a walking red flag, but he's a cinnamon roll. I think this is a book that has done the whole "mated bond" trope in a way that makes sense given the world and context it's in. My heart broke with Violet's reflections after her lightning wielding signet manifested, I think her reaction towards what she did to Jack is realistic and shows an incredible maturity form the author. Violet is a very complex character, and so are Rhiannon, Liam, and Xaden. I name those because they're my favorites. This book did not disappoint and it left me wanting more.
