Still very much in Navarre with Violet, Xaden, and the rest. There are many scenes I think are very well done, and I'm invested in the characters. But I still think this book could have been trimmed by 100 pages or more. Tightening the story would have shot this chunkster from good to over the moon engaging, IMHO. Does anyone else feel that way? Or am I an outlier?

I'm about halfway through this chunkster. Although I find the main group of characters likable, I reiterate my observation from a previous post that this book could have been trimmed significantly, which would have made the plot much more riveting. The author tends to glide through her fantasy world much too slowly. I will certainly read to the end. But whether I continue reading the series is very much up in the air.

I‘m a little more than 50 pages into Fourth Wing, which hails at 541 pages. I like the characters and story well enough, I guess, but I think it could have been more tightly written and could move at a much quicker pace. On page 58, the story is still focused on the morning when Violet Sorrengail is conscripted into Riders School. Really??!! Let‘s get this story moving! Yeah, everyone‘s scared. Move on!
I usually don't pick up books that are on the bestseller lists. I normally read indie authors and those who are considered to be mid-list authors. But this book jumped off the table near the door of the local Barnes and Noble and into my hands. What was I to do?? I broke down and bought it along with a few others to the tune of almost $75. 🙄😳😆 Ya can't let me lose in a bookstore. 😁🤣
You know it‘s really irritating rereading a book and knowing who you should hate but also knowing you shouldn‘t hate them yet. Ugh
pickThis fast-paced fantasy novel made for perfect snow day reading. The tropes are familiar but who cares when it's this much fun? Recommended for anyone who a) loved Anne McCaffrey's dragon rider books, b) enjoyed the Red Rising or similar series, and c) doesn't mind a little spicy romance novel shenanigans here and there. It's not exactly War and Peace, but it's 15 degrees and I haven't left the house in days, so this level of escapism was welcome!
They got me! I ordered an advent calendar and after 30 days it finally arrive like this…still debating if I should dispute this with my bank. #imdisappointed.
Book score! Got all these today for $40!!! All brand new- for the cost of what the tagged book normally cost by itself. Happy early Christmas to me!
