These Are The Books That You Should Read At Least Once In Your Lifetime

Be sure to pick up Iron Flame and Onyx Storm while you’re at it, because once you finish Fourth Wing, you’ll be hooked. If you’re a hardcover collector, you can get all three here.

Promising review: “I wasn’t sure if Fourth Wing would live up to all the hype, but honestly… it did. I flew through this book way faster than I expected. The world-building is super immersive without feeling overwhelming, and the stakes feel real. Characters die, people make tough choices, and nothing feels too predictable.

I really liked Violet as a main character. She’s not this overpowered heroine — she’s struggling, constantly being doubted, and you’re just rooting for her to prove everyone wrong. She’s clever and tough in ways that feel believable. And the dragons are honestly some of my favorite parts — they have personalities, they’re sassy, and they add so much to the story.

Also, the romance? So good. It’s a slow build with tension that feels natural, not forced. The banter and chemistry between Violet and Xaden felt authentic, and I actually cared about both of them as characters, not just as a couple. The last few chapters absolutely messed me up, and I’m still thinking about that ending.” —Anne C
