"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."—Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author
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.

Amazing
This book is terrific—perfect, even—but the change of narrator for the last chapter was a terrible idea.
No matter which book he voices, Teddy Hamilton always sounds like a Naruto character I don’t enjoy, and he puts on the most annoying, whiny voices for the female characters. I truly don't see why it was necessary for him to perform a sole chapter of this book. Super jarring experience.
Rebecca Soler, on the other hand, did a great job as she always does. Although the way that she pronounces the name Rhiannon boggles me. I always think she's saying something else. I do wish that she'd had a guide on how to pronounce some names—which you wouldn't think would include Rhiannon, but it's on the list—because now I'll probably always pronounce the dragons' names incorrectly since Soler definitely isn't pronouncing them the Scottish Gaelic way.
Regardless, Soler performs characters wonderfully, and I think this audiobook might be her best performance yet.
Otherwise Fourth Wing is still a perfect start of a series. I've read it twice now and it's even better the second time around. 1000% chef’s kiss worthy storytelling!

might be my fave read of the year.
the dialogue can be slightly immature but it's so fast paced, there is something happening on every single page! can't wait for the 2nd book but PLEASE consider re-recording this audio. the narrator was horribly sick and it's so hard to listen to her.
