Fourth Wing
Rebecca Yarros
2023 · 517 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
Fourth Wing is fantasy (romantic dragon-rider fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is romantic. The relationship is the engine of the story. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are love, survival and power and politics. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It opens a series. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. At 517 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's a mega-bestseller — the book everyone seems to have read.
