The Fourth Girl Review

I have a love hate relationship with this book. I found it so hard to really get into.

There is very little thrill going on… But the story was interesting.

The Fourth Girl follows 3 adult friends coming back together after 25 years, to the site where the 4th best friend disappeared. They start to receive some mysterious messages that can only be from their missing friend, but can it really be her reaching out after all this time?

Maybe this book isn’t supposed to be twisty, or thrilly, it’s kinda more like a game of clue. There’s a couple questions I have that did not get wrapped up, and that also bothers me. But overall, I did like the book, just really wasn’t so good that I was chomping at the bit to finish it.

If you loved Fourth Wing, you might like this series!
⭐️ Rating: 4/5 🌶️ Spice: 2/5 🗺️ Plot: 4.5/5 The Aurelian Cycle series was written by Rosaria Munda, and Fireborne was actually published in 2019 (before Fourth Wing!). Think of Game of Thrones combined with Fourth Wing, and you have this wonderful series. The children of a brutal revolution
