Reader reviews for Fourth Wing (Standard Edition)

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.57 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.57 / 5 (3243663 total reviews)

Readers largely described this fantasy-romance as an addictive, fast-paced ride set at a brutal war college, praising its charismatic dragons, underdog heroine with chronic-illness representation, high stakes, and a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers arc that delivers heat. Many highlighted accessible worldbuilding, sharp banter, found-family dynamics, and a cliffhanger that feels exciting rather than cruel. Detractors called it derivative and trope-heavy, citing modern slang, clunky or uneven worldbuilding, predictable plotting, and a juvenile tone; some also questioned aspects of the disability portrayal and the romance’s credibility. Overall, a massively popular, highly readable crowd-pleaser that sparked debate over originality and craft.

"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 #1 New York Times 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 Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.
