ArmentroutEnter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca YarrosTwenty-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.

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.The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.Reading Order:Book #1 Fourth WingBook #2 Iron Flame

"I understand the hype. It grips from the beginning with the horrible remarks from her mother and carries me on an emotional journey until the very end (which I think was meant to be shocking but actually wasn’t)."

"It was hyped up far too much. The writing wasn't great. The world building is nice. I think if people hadn't equated it with acotar so much, I would've been less disappointed."

"I get why this book is so popular and deservingly so. It is exactly what every fantasy reader wants; excellent world-building, high action, and of course dragons among other mythical creatures. I thought the main character, Violet, was well-written and a hero I wanted to root for.
Not many books keep me on my toes like this one did. The plot was perfectly paced. I think I even gave an audible “oooo” at the very end of the book because the cliffhanger was that good. I kept wanting to read and when I did put the book down, I spent most of my time thinking about it.
I did have two main problems with this book that prevented me from giving a full five star rating. The first being the amount of F bombs. An author that can beautifully create a whole different world should not need to use the F word 4 to 5 times A PAGE. It took away from the brilliance of the characters and felt lazy. Second, the explicit sex scenes were extremely graphic. It’s unfortunate that our culture demands this in order to sell books when in reality I think this book was good enough that it could’ve been successful without.
Will I read the sequel? Probably.
4/5 stars"

"I absolutely loved this book! I’ve honestly missed reading fantasy and magic and this is just what I needed. I just started the second book, Iron Flame. I am so excited for the release of the third one as well. "

"A big your did it sticker for me. It took me 85 pages to get interested in the story, and the beginning end kinda dragged on, end end was good though. So i must redact a star for my bordenism. Still a good read. 4/5"

"This was a great book, but not 5 stars just because I’m really not into fantasy, dragons, and magic. Really love the enemies to lovers storyline and the twist at the end was awesome. I do feel it was a little long and I guess it makes sense to have to learn the magic world, but I struggled through parts of that just because I don’t care about most of that stuff. I’ll definitely be finishing the series - it was worth the long read."

"I mean yeah. The dragon stuff is cool. No, Xaden and violet are not “enemies to lovers” they do not fit into that. It was serviceable."
