I put off reading this book for a long time because it was popular on the socials and getting all these raves at a time when I was getting burned by books that were getting raves that I was ending up DNF-ing. I didn’t believe the hype until my own adult daughter confirmed it a worthy read. 

The author does a great job developing her characters, including the ones you love to hate. The dragon personalities are really enjoyable, and the human friendships are believably tenuous until they’re not—and they hit all the right loyalty and comedic notes while growing in depth and a sense of not only becoming a team, but a family.
.
I’m really glad I finally gave Fourth Wing a chance—even though I am low-key wishing I would’ve waited until the full series was available. On to book 2!

I am unwell. My emotions are a jumbled mess and I don’t think I’ve sobbed quite that hard over a book since I read the end of A Court of Wings and Ruin. You know what you did Rebecca for that .25 deduction.

This is cringy edgy shit. Curse G. R. R. Martin for giving authors the great idea of killing characters off with ease, cause now every wanna be edgelord out there kills people left and right for the sake of gasps. Yarros is a horny teenager try hard that doesn’t understand worldbuilding, romance, fantasy and the military. Sometimes I wonder why my stupid brain gave me such powerful insecurities paired with perfectionism, cause without by now I would have been a best selling author of at least one poorly written fantasy trilogy…

My initial thoughts were this story is Divergent but with dragons, then it shifted into a My Hero Academia vibe, but it's also totally it's own story. Loved it.
