Book Review: Fourth Wing - Rebecca Yarros

 Oh yes, she's FINALLY read it!! 

It has only taken me like 3 years. I was interested in reading Fourth Wing when it first came out but I was quite honestly scared of fantasy. I picked up ACOTAR last year and it gave me the bug. I never expected I would feel what I feel for Fourth Wing. 

First thing I'd like to talk about is the characters. Rebecca Yarros' writing gives each character a whole personality which I think is pretty difficult with a cast as big as the one in the book. You get a real feel for who these characters are and I was very impressed with how I felt I knew them all personally - even if some of them I wouldn't want to aha!

Violet Sorrengail is unlike any other female character I have read about - to me at least. I love how she is both fierce, weak and intelligent. I adore how Yarros puts effort into turning Violet's weaknesses into strength. To show that she can still do anything, even when injured makes her appear so strong. She does have her flaws and she takes some convincing to come round to some ideas but I love her determination. 

Xaden, well lets face it, he could do anything and I would be there for it. Yarros' character description of him is so attractive that just thinking about him is burned into my brain even know, a few months after I finished reading the book. I have seen a few spoilers for the next couple of books which is a little heart breaking for me but I am looking forward to seeing more of Xaden's character development in these books. 

The intimate scenes between Violet and Xaden are impressive to say the least. They are both sexy and outrageous. I love how the powers go wild when they do. It was HOT and also hilarious. I was very impressed but also it didn't take away from the storyline, which by the way gets DRAMATIC at the end of the book. 

I literally could not give this book anything other than 5⭐ and I would probably give it more if I could.
