This book was SO GOOD, anyone else not going to be okay until November when Iron Flame comes out???
I was NOT expecting that. The last four minutes of the book made me gasp and say “no,no,no,no! You can’t do that to me“ had to relisten to be sure I heard it right
i absolutely loved this book. most of it was so unexpected for me, and i now have a new set of characters that i love dearly. cried a billion times, but this book was truly amazing
Favorite read of the last few years.

oh boy im scared to spiral lol!but pg25 LEZZ GOOOOOO!!
Ugh! I wish I could read it again for the first time… the end of book “no no no”’s are so real.. I threw my phone 😅
My favorite book I’ve read this year!!! I have the physical book and listened to the audio (the narrator is amazing!!). The book has just enough detail to create its world without over doing it. While at times, the plot gave vibes from other books (particularly the way it ended) I didn’t mind because it was done so well. And Violet was just a good lead!!! Right from the start she admitted she had flaws and you saw her grow in confidence throughout the book. So refreshing after so many of the over powered, angsty female leads of other books in the genre.

"I will not die today!"
This book was soo good! Definitely my favorite read this year! It gives me vibes from ACOTAR/Hunger Games/Divergent! November cannot come soon enough!

Duuuuude I just finished it officially this morning and I am DYING to sink my teeth into the next one!!! I have SO MANY QUESTIONS (about that ending) I am also dying to get my irl friends to read it so we can fangirl about it and they are "reading another series" or something. Like yes but also stop everything and read this lol

Saw the hardcover at Costco and picked it up and then grabbed the audible copy and DANG that narrator can narrate. The emotion and urgency she projected??? Beautiful beautiful beautiful performance.
What did you guys think of the male narrator doing the Xaden pov at the end?
Wow! I went from hating the book in the first half to loving it in the second. I can’t wait for the next book to come out! All the characters really grew on me by the end. I loved Xadon’s POV and really enjoyed him and Violet; they really made the story.
I just started reading in April and I haven’t stoped! Fourth wing was the first book I read that wasn’t apart of a finished series. I almost regret reading it because I can’t wait for November 7th. This is the first booked that had me hooked in the first chapter! Everything about this book was amazing! There wasn’t one page that wasn’t perfection!
Oh my god this was the best book I read all summer!! I don’t know how I’m going to wait until November??? This book really blew me away.
I read this book in ONE day. I absolutely devoured it. It sparked me into reading again!!! Totally didn’t see the ending coming with Dain. :( still feel sad about that one. Nice boys do finish last I guess.
Adélie wrote: "What did you guys think of the male narrator doing the Xaden pov at the end?"I adore Teddy Hamilton :') He did Zade on Haunting/Hunting Adeline too. However Xaden and Zade give off opposite vibes so I thought it was a little strange bc I had a hard time separating the two in my brain
I’m hooked! The hype is real. November is too far away. I have to know what happens next RIGHT NOW. There were so many things that I liked about this book and author. 1.) It had an coming of age/realizing destiny/Ender’s Game feel to it.
2.) I really like how inclusive this writer is and how she doesn’t draw undue attention to differences between people. She just brings these characters to life and let’s the reader adjust however their inclined.
3.) so SO HOT 🔥🔥 I can’t believe I got this awesome story along with all the sexiness.
4.) I love how the lead character isn’t infallible. She struggles, copes, compromises, and grows.
The only things that I wish this first installment had more of is world building and a dive into the realm’s politics.
I just finished the book, like 10min ago! And I had to find a discussion group to see if anyone had the same reaction when finishing it! Like screaming, jumping etc...Ok why isn't November 7th yet? I won't be able to wait that long! The introduction to the world and description was something else comparing it to other fantasy books. This one was easily understandable and didn't feel bored! Loved the characters! Now after reading your guys comments on the audiobook, I might just reach out for it!

Especially the dragons!
I mainly read it on kindle but switched to audio if I had to walk somewhere or do chores because I couldn’t wait until after haha.
I was hooked!
Loved it and just pre-ordered the second book! This is one heroine that didn't feel so stubborn that she was stupid, I enjoyed that we got to see how intelligent she was. This book pulled me out of my reading slump!
I just finished it and I’m OBSESSED! I’ll be staring into the void like this until November 🥺

I felt the same way! I was feeling so-so for the beginning of the book but the ending relly changed my mind. I felt like the perfect amount of cliffhanger was left.
Fourth Wing was a spectacular read and I’m so excited it’s going to be a five book series. I inhaled it! I’m impatiently waiting for Iron Flame’s release in November. As someone who has the same chronic illnesses as the author and main character, Violet, this book felt extra special to me.
I love that RY pulled from Scottish Gaelic. The name meanings tying to the storyline and characters gives extra depth.
The ending cliffhanger had me screaming and the theories are running amok.
I absolutely loved this book! I will thoroughly enjoy rereading it as each book in the series drops. I also loved the gaelic influence on the names and the girl on TikTok who taught me how to prounounce them!
I just finished it and I’m still in shock the ending literally made my jaw drop. I can’t believe the next one comes out in November 😭 but it comes out the day of my birthday, so I’m definitely getting it as a present to myself lol
I adored reading this book. Loved the characters and the story and of course the Romance 😏. This book just DELIVERED. ✔️Badass FMC
✔️ Enemies to Lovers
✔️ Great side characters
✔️ Talking in each others mind
+ Xaden freakin catching a dagger Vi threw at him is a huge bonus too 😏
Omg yes the part where he caught the dagger was hot af
Did anyone else get like a billion spoilers via social media before they read it? Fortunately, i misunderstood the fanart and thought she’d just bond with a gold dragon and that the black one was supposed to be Xaden’s so i was SHOOK when she got two!
I also LOVED Liam and cried my eyes out on a public transport while white knuckling my reading tablet to keep myself from throwing it out the window.

Thankfully no. I was so oblivious hadn’t even heard of that book. I follow another author on Insta who is actually best friends with Rebecca Yaris and she posted about Fourth Wing to support her friend and that’s why I read it lol. And it was like maybe a couple of days after it was released I think? So I managed to avoid spoilers.
I personally really loved this book! Yes it was a bit tropey, but it was great in its execution and I think the story is a breath of fresh air. I also have a soft spot for dragons so that is definitely a factoring influence 😂
I don’t know what’s wrong with me but it took me forever to get into this book. In the end I really enjoyed it though. Loved the twists and turns- especially near the end. I’ve read too many super predictable books lately 🤪
This book was so good!!! Even though parts of it reminded me of other book (especially the ending…but I won’t spoil), it had enough originality in the characters that I didn’t mind. The characterization of Violet was so refreshing!! Finally a female lead that admits she has flaws and struggles, and then you see her grow throughout the book. So many female leads in the genre these days are over powered, emotionally damaged, and/or straight up abrasive. I actually felt a connection to Violet because she seemed real.
Can’t wait until the sequel!!
This book was so good! I’ve been thinking about some of the stuff that happened and even if Dain does something to “redeem” himself I will never forgive him!!!! I think his power works more than just when he touches faces it might just take longer when he touches other body parts. Also I wonder is she’s going to have more than one signet since the Andarna isn’t a fully gown dragon yet.
Mod
I read this in like 3 days and I can't even begin to...omg it was immaculate. I've already pre-ordered Iron Flame. But I agree, even if Dain redeems himself I hate him. But, I feel he's going to become more of the villain in the next book. Can we also talk about Violet and Tairn's relationship? I cackled so many times over their interactions. It's such a well rounded relationship. <3

I loved their relationship so much. And when she doubted herself and think she’s just not strong enough to be a good rider and he says “I know exactly who and what you are Violet Sorrengail”. I don’t know why but that moment got me super emotional.
I listened to the audiobook and it was AMAZING. I can’t wait till November 🥲
It was captivating from the beginning and there wasn’t a dull moment, a real page turner (metaphorically since i listened to the book hehe)
Only issue with the audiobook was in the beginning the narrator was sick but she is amazing!!! I forgot i was listening to a book it felt like watching a movie.
Of course now I have to find something to fill the void.
I’m just about to start reading this!
I am so late to this party. I held out for so long reading it seeing all the hype, knowing I will have to wait till November until the 2nd books comes out… nevermind that we have to wait god knows how long for the other books 😭🥹…Well I caved and started reading it Friday night. Finished it Sunday night. Started listening to the audible on my commute home tonight as I have a MASSIVE FOURTH WING GAP AND IM NOT READY FOR IT TO BE OVER 😭😭
This book was so good, I’m so surprised because often books that get hyped up to that point leave me with such high expectations. This delivered and then some.
I really hope we get to see and learn more about the dragons throughout this story, maybe a Tairns POV?
But I looove the in-depth history, the politics, the fights and strategy and the charcters. Obsessed with Xaden 🔥 and I see a lot of me in violet: I love that her flaws stay she doesn’t just stop breaking and dislocating, she just builds up and works hard. And all the side characters are perfect too. Perfection. The whole thing.
WHAT DO I READ NOWWWW 😭😭
I’m late to this 😅 I just finished the book yesterday and I can’t get over that ending omg! I need the next one right now!
I wanna read it but Barnes and noble doesn't have it yet :(
Its so frustrating. Barnes and Noble finally got it in stock, but they were all on hold for people. Couldn't even buy it
With the release of Iron Flame coming up I stumbled upon a fanfic of Fourth Wing from Xadens POV, sorry if this has already been talked about, but it is such an amazing piece of work. I truly feel like I comprehend more of the story having a “behind the scenes” look, albeit, one person’s story of that emotional roller coaster. The authors handle is Belle_beebee on ArchiveofOurOwn. I’ve never really been one to read fanfic, but see releases a chapter a day and it have been getting me through the past month! if you enjoy fanfiction, dual POV and that comfort of rereading something (kinda for the first time) I can’t recommend it highly enough!
I figure I’ll do another reread of Violet’s version before IF releases. 🖤🐉
