Summary
An Instant New York Times Bestseller
A Goodreads Most Anticipated Book
'Suspenseful, sexy, and with incredibly entertaining storytelling, the first in Yarros' Empyrean series will delight fans of romantic, adventure-filled fantasy.'—Booklist, starred review
'Fourth Wing will have your heart pounding from beginning to end ... 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 USA Today 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 narrator sounds like she has a bad cold or allergies so all of her wheezing and mouth breathing is REALLY distracting

Despite the obnoxiously immature “adult” main characters who behaves like a boy-crazy pre-teens, and the ham-fisted attempts at romance and erotica, the parts of the story about a physically disabled woman fighting to survive training to be a dragon rider was fun. It requires some significant suspension of disbelief and isn’t exactly treading new ground plot wise—if you’ve read Anne McCaffrey’s dragon rider series, Naomi Novik’s Scholomance, and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sara J Maas, you’ve seen most of what Fourth Wing had to offer. It was enjoyable enough to finish though, and I may read the next book in the series if I’m in the mood for some YA Romantasy dressing up like adult political fantasy. I did not like the audiobook narration at all. The narrator’s voice is nasally and grating (she occasionally sniffles and slurps snot) and all of the male human and dragon voices sound identical to each other and ridiculous.

Pleasingly deserving of the hype, I genuinely struggled to put it down, 10/10 and would truthfully recommend it to practically everyone.

This book is absolutely addicting! I got the same rush I felt when I first read The Hunger Games (my favorite series, which might be in trouble for my #1 spot by this series). I loved this world, the characters, and how easy it was to fall into their lives. Rebecca Yarros definitely has a gift I will be following for years to come

While the plot was somewhat predictable by anyone who reads YA/ fantasy/ dystopia, it was well written and a great read. I loved the end and can't wait for the next book!

I am obsessed with this book but am so glad I read it before listening to it. Any narrator would have been better then this one.

Now I get the hype. This was right up my alley! I couldn’t stop listening! While I do agree that all the male voices sounded the same it was still amazing! I didn’t even want to sleep. I just needed to finish it! Can’t wait for the second book to come out!!

I loved this book but I did not enjoy the narrator. I didn't like her character voices/tones and a few other things.

The book was great! I loved the story and the unique characters! The narrator's were terrible!!! I've listened to hundreds of books and have never felt this way about the narrating of a story. The female narrator made the books feel very kiddish and very very cringe during the minimal spicy parts!!! I think a change in narrator could really set this book off!

Plot: excellent. I loved this book. I couldn’t wait to get back to it! The world building and character development are engaging and so interesting!! Different than a lot of what I have read. Narrator: I hated her at first but wasn’t sure why. As the book went on I realized how great she was and how I felt like she told the story and changed the speed of her voice in a way it felt like how a friend would tell you a story! I did not like the male narrator. At all.

Some of the most addictive writing for sure. I think the way the plot progresses , especially in terms of the romance is a mastery. Although , I wish there was more character building and intrigue outside of the romance. especially at thelast few chapters of the story , it becomes way too focused on the romance.

A page turner for sure if you like fantasy romance. Although it has many elements I’ve seen in other stories, it’s all woven together in a way that is fresh and interesting. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I didn’t have a problem with the narrator’s voice. The male voices aren’t great, but I could usually distinguish between the characters.

I thought the narrator was perfect for this character. I don’t know what others were commenting on. Good book.

the narrator does not fit the character not the story, she sound like she’s either pissed throughout the entire book or just doesn’t understand how to express emotions as the reads

After all the hype on TikTok for this being a spicy romance. It fell short. It wasn’t a bad book for a slow burn romance. Then it ended in a cliff hanger. Sigh.

This was a great book! I very much enjoyed reading it, and couldn’t put it down. I rated the narrator a 2, she was pretty awful. The wrong voice for the character, not a great voice actor, and it was almost a turn off not to finish. I’m glad I did though.

Definitely worth reading. Started out a little slow, but still interesting. It got better as it progressed. The narrator sounds like she was sick in the first half of the book, which was quite distracting. She did a good job narrating the action scenes with excitement though. IMO, you might want to wait until the series is complete though, because this one ends on a cliffhanger!!!

I absolutely loved this book. The plot was very gripping and the chemistry between the main characters was insane. One thing though, I think the narrator was under the weather. It could be heard throughout the book.

It's a binge worthy action packed romantasy with never a dull moment. It also ends on a juicy cliffhanger too (but not in a bad way). The only downside was I think the narrator may have been sick so you could sometimes hear sniffles and some of the voices were a bit too similar. But overall it was fantastic and I would highly recommend if you love - ✔️ Throne of Glass ✔️ Dragons
