“There is no rule that says a dragon cannot modify their seat to serve their rider. You have worked just as hard - if not harder - than every rider in this quadrant. Just because your body is built differently than the others doesn't mean you don't deserve to keep your seat. It takes more than a few strips of leather and a pommel to define a rider“
-WE ARE BUILT DIFFERENTLY, NOT INCORRECTLY! 🤘-
I understand that being an inntinnsic is illegal because it is so dangerous, I get that...but damn, being under a death sentence because of magic the dragon gave you....that's nuts....
“This place cuts away the bullshit and the niceties, revealing whoever you are at your core.” I repeat his words from this summer. “Isn‘t that what you said to me? Is this who you really are at your core? Someone so enamored with rules that he doesn‘t know when to bend or break them for someone he cares about? Someone so focused on the least I‘m capable of doing, he can‘t believe I can do so much more?”
“'You'd rather I die, no doubt,' I fire back, the side of my face pressed into the mat. This isn't just painful, It's humiliating.
'And be denied the pleasure of your company?' he mocks.
'I fucking hate you' The words are past my lips before I can shut my mouth.
'That doesn't make you special.“
😂😂😂😂
Reading this one again because I decided to annotate my book before starting Iron Flame!
pickTHAT ENDING THOUGH, how are you going to do that on the LAST PAGE, and expect my heart not to freaking STOP?! This book was sooo good and I am definitely excited to continue the series when I can!
THEY MADE A PERSONALIZED SIDECAR FOR THE BABY DRAGON ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW? I love this book so much.
lol if I had waited a page, I'd have seen her tell him off and then cut him off :D
“Best friend“ or not, Dain is really starting to piss me off, HE'S SO ANNOYING.
Dain, you absolute TWATWAFFLE.....you're not helping yourself here....Violet is gonna hate you by the end of this just because you won't stop trying to “save her life“ OH MY GOD......Okay sorry I needed a second to get that off my chest lol
Starting completely over since I kinda went off on a different book tangent the last time I was reading these and stopped about 5 chapters in, maybe, going again :D
pickExcellent fantasy set in a highly militarized country with a tight grip on information revealed to the public. The fantasy part: dragons, gryphons, and some sort of evil wizards.
pick😭😭what took me so long to start reading this! I now suddenly want to lower the rating of some books I have read this year because this was so far superior. I could not stop reading from chapter 1. The story captivated me fully. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book. I am no longer okay living in a world without dragons or a world where “he” is just a fictional character. I couldn‘t care less about the dangers. I ll fly or die any day.
pickSo many goodies right in time for the school holidays. I plan on reading the tagged book on the bus ride to visit family next week. Thankyou for your kindness @maich I‘m sorry mine is late getting to you.
pickYes, yes, YES!!! 👏🏻 This is an incredible read, and has quickly soared to one of my favorite reads of all time. I cannot wait to get my hands on book two! 👏🏻 5 🌟
My lovely niece at last night's D-backs game (where we horribly lost: 15-8). What does she bring when she's bored? A Kindle? Nope. A book. At the game. Actually, I've never seen her without a physical book, tbh. 🤩🤩🤩
pickIt felt like the story was lacking originality and wasn‘t very memorable but it was interesting and enjoyable.
pickI‘m borrowing a copy from a coworker (I will own it one day!!) and so the picture isn‘t mine. I am so glad that the hype was not over exaggerated! Violet is awesome (bookish badass) and the school she gets to go to is brutal, but fun and has some powerful lessons. There is the sexual tension, too. And 🐉!! Also, totally did not see the twist! #recentlyread
pickI‘m always sceptical when a book is so hyped, but this one absolutely lived up to it and more! Loved every page! Can‘t wait for round two!
pickI have been determined to read this since last year- I have a hardcover edition, a kindle edition and audio edition. And yes I am glad- My obsession feels a little like Twilight. Some holes in the story. Some things that annoyed me (why is there not an original calendar?) but I loved it…. all of it. Also i‘ve read 3 books this week!!!! My brain fog may be lifting finally 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
pickA double pick if I was able to choose!
I love the writing style, the charcters and the world Rebecca Yarros created.
You can read how Violet grows from a girl into a woman, how Xaden's wards fall down and how people become friends and friends become...
It is a enemy to romance, opposits attracts, forbidden love, love triangle,...
I am a fan and already started Iron Flame 😅
pickWhat a ride! Definitely did not see that last page coming. Looking forward to book two and more fun dragon dialogue! #fantasy #romantasy #dragons
so-soVery cool dragons and really boring people! Ok, I know there is a ton of buzz around this book, but it is indeed a mediocre fantasy novel. The beginning is so slow and I didn‘t care about any of the characters. If they died, if they lived, didn‘t matter to me. It wasn‘t until about 170 pages in that it got good. This is a book that reads like a 15 year old wrote it, so don‘t expect good writing. But this was a fast read once the dragons showed up.
Enjoying Rebecca Yarros with @StaceGhost 💛 #nationalbookfestival24
I love hanging with friends at the National Book Festival!
Yes, it‘s all the hype! Fourth Wing 🪽 series is an action packed fantasy dream of dragons, magic & war college. I‘ve read 130 books so far this year and this was hands down the best! I loooove it! Can‘t wait for the 3rd book 📕 #OnyxStorm January 2025. 😍🐉🔥🗡️ I absolutely loved the FMC Violet 💜, Xaden took a minute to grow on me. 😂 Violet + Xaden 🥀
Tackle the TBR 🤓📚

pickA great holiday read. If it hasn‘t already been decided I can definitely see this following in the path of The Hunger Games and becoming a movie franchise. I could probably have done with about 100 pages less but the cliff hanger at the end means I‘m in it for the series.
pickNot my usual genre, enjoyed this one and am now wondering why I left it for so long, looking forward to the next 2.
1. Podcast—I‘m never in favor of anything that requires me to be on camera!
2. I go back to work tomorrow 😭 so my summer is over, but I‘d like to read Fourth Wing in August!

Box #2 from @Gissy (she seriously spoiled me!!!) for the #staycationintimeswap sooooo I had to hide the passport holder cause my sister wants to steal it! 🤣🤣 my cousin works for Marshall‘s in PR and thinks she saw one like it and said she would send her one if she sees it. The beach towel!!!! 😍😍😍 i will use it this week! Sorry for the late post im having trouble with the app.
pickSo I definitely get the hype now. This was just superb and I am so glad that I waited until I could properly enjoy it. Violet is a superb character and I am excited to read more about the world that Yarros is building in future books.
I have been saving this for summer when I can commit to just sitting and doing nothing but read this. Excuse me while I go hibernate - see you on the other side when I‘m sure my life will be irrevocably changed. I fully expect to love this book I am so excited.
pickRomantasy with dragons! What more can I say? Everyone has already talked about this book and said it all. I didn‘t expect to like it as much as I did. I absolutely loved it! I couldn‘t turn the pages fast enough and dove right into the next book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚
pickI had listened to a couple of drama podcasts with sound effects and cast but never a book, after some encouragement from new library coworkers, I listened to this, and wow. I am not typically into fantasy but this story grabbed me. It is an epic tale of young people being conscripted to save the world, it‘s like Hunger Games with dragons. I took more walks than usual to continue - PT at the library may be good for my health! *It is a little 🌶️.
pickThis is the book that everyone is talking about and reading at the moment. Lots of action, fantasy, and romance. I really liked it and I‘ve reserved the 2nd book from my local library. Looking forward to reading it!
I‘m not much of a fantasy reader, but this audiobook was available so I‘m trying it out…
Listening to the dramatized audio of this book on my recent walks, it feels so real with a cast and sound effects I turned around several times thinking something was behind me. Several women at work are listening and now I‘m hooked! Enough to walk 3 miles in 85 degree heat today 🥵🤣
We are vacationing with two other families this year, and almost all of the readers going have read this and the second book in the series. My BFF, my sis in law, my BFF‘s daughter and my two bonus daughters (my sons‘ GFs). I don‘t want to feel left out! I borrowed my daughter‘s copy - she hasn‘t read it yet. Hoping I can finish both before we go on vacation. Was slow to start for me, but it‘s picking up. ❤️📚
pickI‘m not typically a fantasy reader but this had just the right amount of romance mixed in to make it a thoroughly enjoyable read for me. Definitely 5⭐️
