"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.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Violet Sorrengail was training to be a scribe when she is thrust into the world of riders and it starts with crossing the parapet and the only two things which can happen after that is that she is live or die.
If she lives, she faces other cadets and riders who would not hesitate to kill her.
Violet's bigger problem is that she is in chronic pain and short and she thinks she is not suitable to be a rider.
The fact that she is General Sorrengail's daughter and the sister of Mira, another brave rider and a slain dragon rider - Brennan, makes things worse for her in the place.
Dain, a second year rider is one help for her inside the place. But is that alone enough?
Violet was surprisingly tough and strong and her mantra of 'I will not die today' is what moves her from one trouble to another.
Xander was a very interesting carved character and even how he ended up as a rider despite being a traitor was a nice read.
The dragons themselves were thoroughly enjoyable and their connection with their riders and how they worked together and let their rider channel their power was brought out very well. Tairn and Violet were lovely together and their banter was beautiful.
General Sorrengail and her relationship with her daughter(s) and the reason the whole thing started was another interesting point in the story.
The short battles and how Violent navigates the world where nothing can be taken as granted and how she has to work with her own limitations was very well brought out.
Then the twists in the tale where there was treachery involved and it is obvious that things are not what they seem in the military system.
The world building, the action, romance and humour was all excellent to read about.
I enjoyed listening to the narration of the audio book too.
Enjoyable story.
Exciting young adult adventure, romance and thorou

This book delivers on all fronts.
So refreshing to find a female protagonist who is strong willed and stubborn for moral reasons but without that annoying characteristics of being illogically and unreasonable
Evoke all the emotions that’s there in me
