Review: Totally Captivating!! - Wow! It has been a LONG time since I have actually felt tension while reading a book. I can read the biggest action scenes at the end of various books and the majority of the time they just don't affect me at all - because I don't care that much about the characters. But THIS - this was different. I felt the tension. And it was real. Plus the author is very willing to kill characters so there is some uncertainty there as well. And the battle at the end of this most excellent book - it was hot and raging. Plus the enemy leaked danger as well. True menace. Very rarely does some enemy in a book impress me at all but this one most certainly did.. Right from the description I just KNEW there was something different about these mages called venin. They seemed impressive too. And very memorable. I wanted to draw them based off of the description. Very rarely do I get that urge. But what a battle at the end! It was touch and go. What would happen? Would the heroes win or lose? I didn't know. And I felt concern. This book has made me feel things. Earlier it had made me cry - tears of joy. And the book has surprised me too. The plot twists! I guess I should have seen it coming but I didn't so I was quite surprised. But it certainly makes the story way more interesting! And I am certainly eager to read the sequel too! This is a massive book and worth reading every word! And rarely do I feel that way. But its exciting and the characters face so many challenges. And there is death too. In fact there is a lot of death in here. Its a very violent world, a tough world of dragons and griffins and things that are supposed to be only legends to scare kids to eat their vegetables... But what I love the most in here in the main character Violet. She has a connective tissue disorder. I have one too (its called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - EDS - and I am pretty confident that Violet actually has EDS). I have never run across a character in a book before that has EDS. And certainly not one that is bold enough to be in a fantasy world where she rides a dragon. How cool is that? So yes I certainly can relate to her very well! And so much of the stuff in here is quite accurate too. Exercise is the best way to protect the joints (and personally I find diet matters a ton too). And yes it certainly can make many things way harder. The joints are all wonky and they naturally hyper-extend so doing things - even just balancing - is way harder. But riding a dragon!!! I remember when I was much younger I used to read this other very popular fantasy series that included dragons and I used to try to imagine what it would be like to ride a dragon. Of course I never thought about the issues of staying ON said dragon... But since I ride horses these days I have a better idea of some of the issues. But wow this book is totally AMAZING! it totally captivated my attention. The first evening I started it I got 50% through. And I certainly would have powered through the second half yesterday but unfortunately I have packing to do as I am moving at the end of the month. If I could I would rate it 6 stars! The characters are just so real. And they go through character arcs too. They change. They face obstacles and have to find solutions. And there is certainly a bit of romance in here too. The story moved so smoothly. Never a dull moment at all. None. And I just loved the first person writing in here from Violet's viewpoint. But the story is about a young woman named Violet who has been forced by her very powerful mother to become a dragon rider. That is a warrior. But her body is weak and ill suited for it. So she was training to be a scribe (but all of that writing would be a huge strain on her too - in fact I cannot write very long at all by hand anymore without pain + numbness going down my arm and I get horrid shoulder pain) but that changed - she had to go be a dragon rider or die trying. But its not that easy in fact its very dangerous. Most people who try to become a rider end up dead. And you can be killed by your own classmates! Yes, its a very brutal school. And after all of these difficult obstacles - which Violet is ill suited to pass - she has to hope that a dragon will pick her. But what dragon will pick someone with a body that doesn't work right due to genetic mutations? And all of that is near the beginning of the book! For a huge mysterious and dangerous problem is brewing in the Kingdom! And poor Violet will run smack into it - err - fly into it. If she can stay on the dragon that is... You definitely should read this!
Review: absolutely riveting journey! - This is some of the best writing I’ve read in a long time. The details building the story, the environment, the depths of the characters, our heroine and her resolve are just some of why this makes it such a great book. I am so excited that this is a series and not just a one-off. Can’t wait for the next.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the hype
*by D***T on March 6, 2026*

✨ “A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead.” This book is hyped for a reason. Fourth Wing is more than just dragons and romance. It is immersive and atmospheric, the kind of high fantasy that feels expansive and addictive without ever becoming overwhelming. What makes this story stand out to me isn’t just the concept, but the execution. The tension feels intentional. The stakes feel personal. Every element, from the war college setting to the dragon bonds, works together to create something cinematic without feeling forced. ──────────────────────── 📖 The Details ⭐ Rating: 5/5 🌶 Spice Level: 3/5 📚 Genre: High Fantasy Romance 🔮 Tropes: Rivalry to lovers, forced proximity, war college, found family, morally grey MMC, dragon riders ──────────────────────── 💭 My Reading Experience What sold me was how immediate everything felt. From the first chapter, survival is never guaranteed, which keeps the pacing sharp and personal. The worldbuilding unfolds naturally through Violet’s perspective. Because the story is written in first person, information expands as she learns and processes it, keeping the fantasy elements accessible rather than overwhelming. I was far more emotionally invested than I expected to be. There is a moment in this book that still makes me cry every time I think about it. The attachment to these characters builds steadily, and the found family dynamic adds weight to every challenge they face. This book balances high tension with emotional connection in a way that made it impossible for me to look away. The final twist completely caught me off guard and subtly reframed the direction of the series in a way I didn’t anticipate. ──────────────────────── 🖤 Characters Violet Her strength will always be her mind over her body. She is physically fragile and constantly forced to work harder to compensate for that. Watching her push through limitations instead of pretending they do not exist made her feel incredibly relatable. She can also be frustrating at times. For someone so intelligent, she occasionally makes decisions that feel naive. But because the story is entirely from her perspective, our understanding is limited to how she processes information in real time. That makes her feel human rather than flawless. — “But I will not run. I wouldn’t be standing here if I’d quit every time something seemed impossible to overcome. I will not die today.” Xaden Controlled. Intense. Morally grey. The tension between him and Violet builds through rivalry and reluctant respect rather than true hatred. It isn’t a classic enemies-to-lovers arc, but the slow progression makes their relationship feel earned. — “I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I’ll do it. You gave me your heart, and I’m keeping it.” The Dragons The dragons elevate the entire story. Their bonds feel layered and meaningful, and the subtle hints woven into those early interactions suggest larger forces at play. The mating bond dynamic also adds emotional and political complexity to the world, and their banter throughout the story had me laughing. — “I’m just… not as strong as other riders.” “I know exactly who and what you are, Violet Sorrengail.” “Should I get the wing leader?” ──────────────────────── 💖 What Worked For Me • The immersive academic war college atmosphere • Dragon bonding and lore • The steady build of emotional attachment • Morally grey romantic tension • High stakes that feel personal • The final twist that subtly reframed the direction of the series ──────────────────────── ⚡ What Didn’t Fully Work For Me • I would have loved a more intense true enemies-to-lovers arc • Violet’s occasional frustrating decision making ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts If you want high fantasy that balances deadly training and trials, dragon lore, tension-filled romance, and a heroine who earns her place through determination and strategy, this delivers. Violet and Xaden are one of my top book couples. — “It’s been my honor.”
