I loved fourth wing, but I don’t think you’d enjoy it at all. It’s more of a spicy romance heavy book with interesting fantasy elements (in my opinion). I think it has a really high rating because it really worked for people who generally love that type of story. Most of the fantasy leaning people who have read it, haven’t enjoyed it because they read it because of the hype and not necessarily because they enjoy that kind of book.

Yeah, if you are into Sarah J Maas and her style of fantasy where you have a strong female lead in a fantasy world that is somewhat interesting in its magic but never gone into in huge depth and that lead is definitely gonna fall in love with someone she shouldn’t and that’s gonna be a lot of the plots driving force, then you’ll like it. I honestly think Yarros might have done Maas’s schtick better than Maas. It was at least as good maybe better.

Fourth Wing feels like the author started writing a YA book, but then decided to shift gears and write a NA series. It was a fun and easy read. I think the world itself has potential, depending on where the author takes it. I don't think it is a book you would like, but I would also love to see a vlog where you read it 😅.

I read all of the Green Bone Saga - "The Jade books" and was very disappointed based on all of the KZbin hype. I've always enjoyed a good mobster/mafia story, so I liked that aspect of these books but I felt that NONE of the protagonists had any redeeming qualities. I read a lot of grim dark novels and even the worst of those characters have some positive qualities at times. I did not get that out of any of these characters except the main antagonist and one of the members of the Kaul family. I could have stopped at book one, but I wanted to see it through to the end, always hoping I would find something to like about the characters. I'm glad I'm not the only person who didn't enjoy this one!!

The cover is silly. But the book itself is like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a chilly autumn morning on your first day off after a 9 day stretch at work. I was in the exact same boat as you, the cover threw me off a little and it always getting displayed near the DnD stuff I thought it was going to be silly and mediocre but just funny enough to have gotten popular in a “let’s read a transcription of someone’s DnD one-shot” kind of way. But I slowly got intrigued then eventually saw my local library had it on the Libby app. I was between books in a longer series and wanted a little break from it so I picked it up. Then I just couldn’t put it down. I was reading it on my breaks at work, while I walked to my car, I’d sit down in my car in the parking lot and keep reading until I’d glance at the clock and notice crap I have to get home. I almost started over and read it again when I finished. But I restrained myself to just re-reading a few scenes I really enjoyed and getting to the next book on my list.

It’s an understatement. Even Elliot Brooks says it’s bad. Let’s state the facts: weak prose. The main character is more a child not an adult and it’s important bc it’s a smut book. Very much it is. Full with plot holes and not logical errors. And that was the basics. Why hyped? Smut book. Only Maas fans read it and rated it. And they tend to be obsessed to things. That’s it.

Since you are so good at DNFing books you don't like, I have a hard time believing you will get through Fourth Wing. Because the fantasy setting requires suspension of disbelief, the rest HAS to be internally consistent and make some sense. Here, there is none. I think the balanced way to describe this book is 'heavily divisive,' but honestly, I don't know how this got by an editor.

I read it because of a friend, and I get why people like it*. I think there are a lot of people that have a deep desire to just read something that is… light, in the way that you do not need to think too hard. It was kinda like a fanfic. The people are so… trope-based that you really know EXACTLY what to expect, and therefore you can focus on other things of the story, especially the romance. The rest of the world is dependent on not thinking about it too close, so… you really are not asked to think about anything that close. *I belong to the people who do not like it, its just not my cup of tea. I also really enjoy watching the commentary, because its really really funny to not be alone in the suffering.

@@herestia_photography i would say: Don‘t read it if you did not enjoy ACOTAR. It is very similar. (I read ACOTAR because of said friend too, and I really disliked that book, fourth wing was better, because Violet is… not the worst main character, but it’s like comparing a 0/10 to a … 2/10 here. I am sorry. ACOTAR is just not for me. At all.) BUT: this book is a romance novel with a thin paint coat of fantasy. And now we come to tropes: The boys are walking cliches. Take the following two concepts: hot badboy, hot and a-hole badboy. You have your love interests! Congrats! Everything romance happens in a very predictable way (think: enemies to lovers, but executed very simply). The love-V (god! A proper triangle would have made the book much better) does not work as it is clear that hot, only-mild-ahole badboy will win. It’s YA with erotica slapped in the back, but the actual text and world are very…. Early 2010s YA. It gets compared to divergent for a reason, and OH BOY that’s not a compliment for me. But: my ultimate advice is; Amazon (at least German Amazon) has about the two first chapters as a „look into the book“-option. Read them. Make an impression if the writing style. The worldbuilding does not get deeper, and the tone stays the same. The only truly good thing is that it reads very well. And I grew kinda fond of violet. I HATE that it’s always „oh she’s so small and fragil uwu“, but she is okay, she reads like a h*rny 15 year old (she’s 20), but I was okay with that. But really: don’t. You are not missing out. Read something else.

I made a deal with a close friend: She really wanted me to read fourth wing, because she SERIOUSLY loved it. The book is kinda very far away from my normal taste. So, we struck a deal: I read fourth wing, you read the first book of the imperial radch series (my current read). That deal is why i finished fourth wing, and did not throw the book into a river after two chapters (believe me, i wanted to). After a while it was kinda enjoyable, in the way reality tv is, its very trope-based YA with spice. IT IS YA. This is not adult fantasy. It was… funny? Ha! I lied, I still suffered. It was really easy to read, though. I think if i were a different person i would love it, but i am me. It was a surprisingly fast read, for being quiet a thick book. I think you could get a very interesting experience out of reading it.

Croucher writes regency era stories with queer and POC characters that sometimes involve romance. I wonder if either of them could help to find your taste in romance?

I was really excited for fourth wing, just from reading the synopsis of it, but I didn’t realize it was a NA until it got to that point in the book, so I really hated the (what seemed like random) horniness expressed by the main character at the beginning. That, and to me, it just felt like the entire thing was the author projecting herself into the main character being all badass and sprinkling a little “oh, but she’s short and at a disadvantage” in there thinking it would make her relatable or root for her that I just thought was ridiculous. It also would kind of explain why any banter between side characters felt like filler, and I skipped though any interactions between MC and her classmates bc it just felt so unimportant. It felt like a NA in a magical and dragon-military setting. And I was so disappointed because I wanted a dragon-military setting that happened to have some NA (or just none but if author wanted it, then she wanted it) The last 10-20% of the book was the only time I thought it was somewhat good, and the plot was actually progressing somewhere, without having to hear any of the MC’s angst or annotations over how hot someone was

You’re not the kind who cares if things are written amazingly or has flowery writing either so that wouldn’t bother you too much I think.

4th wing is good, but overhyped. I really enjoyed red rising, but the 2nd trilogy is not worth it.

I would like to see your reaction to fourth wing. It does fall in the romance tropes and “miscommunication drama” but I think the magic system and dragons were cool.

Where did you get the green cover version of Dandelion Dynasty? I want that version of the set, but the only one I can find are the dull black covers.

Fourth Wing was an enjoyable read for what it was. I went in completely blind. I read the book right at the beginning of the hype, so I had no expectations, and I think that's why it worked for me. I also just LOVE dragons, and I enjoyed the dragons personalities in this book. I'd say if you're at all curious, definitely give it a try. It's an easy fast read.

It’s definitely going into my want to read! I can’t stand the good reads reviews though. They’re saying it’s not good just because they’re are no women in the book. Is this really an issue for the book?

@sashakeiv2703 the first book I guess there aren't a ton of female characters. But, that book is basically a huge prologue to the series, it reads more like a history book than a fantasy book, then from Wall of storms onward it morphs into a more "traditional" fantasy

Fourth Wing: it's a great fantasy story. I would rate it 5 stars EXCEPT that the romance portions detract from an otherwise good story, so i give it 4 stars. The romance made me just cringe in places, but it's worth reading.

It’s a weak story with plot holes no matter the smut. The prose is so bad that it needs a new editor. Fr… The publisher should fire who called him/herself editor here and get a new one. This is a draft not a final book.

Merlot, hype this book. For me, what a thriller is suppose to be. 'The Siberia Job'. It masterfully combines historical context, heart-pounding adventure, and high-stakes suspense, all wrapped up in a well-written narrative. If you're in for a thrilling read, this is your pick.
