Long Overdue Fourth Wing review! 📕

Book Review

Book name: Fourth Wing

Author: Rebecca Yarros

Genre: Romantasy

My rating: 10/10 💫

My review: Romantasy has never been my go to for books but I finally decided to give this a chance and glad that I did! I will say the Tiktoks about Violet’s demeanor is SPOT ON and hilarious. Nevertheless overall this was a good one and I will be finishing the series. Super excited to hear there will be a TV series so I can judge the comparison. And Lastly… Xaden…you know how you like someone a whole lot then they do something to give you the ick? I’m hoping in Iron Flame that feeling is cured!#booktok #BlackGirlsWhoRead #fourthwing

5/25 Edited to

... Read moreHaving recently finished Fourth Wing, I can relate to the initial hesitation about entering the romantasy genre. What truly drew me in was the complex character of Violet, whose strength and vulnerability are brilliantly portrayed. The TikTok community's portrayal of her demeanor is indeed spot on and adds a humorous dimension that enriches the reading experience. One aspect that stood out was the vivid world-building Rebecca Yarros delivers, creating a setting that feels immersive without overwhelming the reader. The blend of romance and fantasy elements strikes a perfect balance, making this book accessible even to those not typically drawn to romantasy. Regarding the character Xaden, I understand the conflicting feelings he evokes; it's a testament to the author's skill in crafting multi-dimensional characters. I'm eagerly awaiting Iron Flame to see if my perceptions of him evolve. Another exciting point for readers is the upcoming TV adaptation. Comparing the book to its screen version offers a fun way to engage with the story from a new perspective. Fans of the book will likely appreciate how the series brings these beloved characters and their struggles to life. If you are thinking about diving into Fourth Wing or the romantasy genre in general, approach it with an open mind and be prepared for a journey filled with emotional depth, intriguing characters, and captivating plot twists. It's a refreshing addition to contemporary fantasy literature, and I highly recommend giving it a chance.

I love this book I didn’t think I would and skipped over it several times but I’ve been reading books by Jennifer Armentrout and after that I thought I’d try and I love it

A quote highlighted in yellow on a textured light background reads: 'Never feel guilty for setting boundaries that protect your peace.' A Lemon8 logo and username are visible at the bottom.
You may be overdue for an ego death.
Boundaries are not walls they are bridges to a healthier relationship with yourself and others. Saying “no” to what drains you is saying “yes” to your peace, your time, and your worth. You are not selfish for protecting your energy, you are wise. Never feel guilty for prioritizing your wellbeing. T
