By Rebecca Yarros

Book Overview

NOTE TO READERS: This breathtaking special edition is only available for a limited time and while quantities last.

The year's biggest book sensation and #1 New York Times bestseller returns in this completely jaw-dropping special edition, featuring:
- a stunning, revamped cover
- gorgeous new endpapers
- black sprayed edges
...plus two bonus chapters from Xaden's point of view

Twenty-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. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother's daughter--like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She'll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. 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.

Great Series

This is so good!!! I listened to the dramatized narration at the same time I was reading the book. Made it a faster pace read with all the sounds if the dragons etc. Brought the book to life!!!

In LOVE. Obsessed!!

A good friend of mine, whom I've known since childhood, recommended that I read this series because she's loved it ever since it was released. I started it about a week ago, and OMG! I'm in love!! I went and purchased the hardcover copies of all 3 books, and I plan on buying the softcover versions as well for the other 2.

Fourth Wing is my favorite series.

Adults will love this book. It is an adult made dragon riders take. Just the storyline and the characters are amazing. I can't put it down.

Most Definately Not For Children Or Teens Or To Listen To With Your Young Adult Or Parents

I absolutely LOVED this series! I still love it! Im not done. I actually got the GraphicAudio Books, the ones with the full cast and sound effects "A movie inside your mind!" From my library app. I am only reviewing it here because I saw it listed under "Childrens and YA Adventure Books". I got this on a whim, to listen to on a road trip with my 15 year old son, and my in their 60's parents. I thought I remembered my niece reading the book, and I swore I saw a girl around 14 reading it one night at a Cub Scout Meeting. I figured it was fine. It was. It was totally awesome! Everyone was into it and captivated. There were a few comments, "My sister and I didn't discuss our men." A description here or there that caused me to think, "daaaang, she wants to climb him like a tree." Everything was fine and dandy and then Wham! BAM! Thank you Violence and Raiden because not only are the dragons mating, but the humans are as well... in super descriptive detail! And, amazingly, this isnt a quicky adult scene. It goes on, and on, and on, and on, and... we make a plan. We will just fast forward through the next one and keep listening. 5 minutes later Im skipping 30 seconds at a time for like 15 minites of the book. Okay its over... it was over for about 20 minutes and they are going at it again.. . And again. In graphic detail... this isn't even including the graphic descripion of death and violence. So not for "children" or teens or probably teens and young adults! LeCretia

If you like dragons and y/a fiction (and Wattpad) definitely the book for you

The world building is definitely one of the most interesting parts of the book. Its story is very interesting but the whole “I’m just to tiny” thing gets old quick. It is really long can’t even remember why it’s that long. If you like dragons and y/a fiction (and Wattpad) definitely the book for you. Still good though definitely had me hooked throughout.

Obsessed

This book has consumed me for the past 3 days and legit a fre chapters away of finishing. I hadn't read this fast since I discovered james patterson in high school. I am obsessed I am not one to ready fantasy but the dragons the cadets the world the spice it all worth it !! It lime Harry potter 2.0 rated r with a disclaimer of SPICE 😅 love it.

I quite literally couldn’t get enough of it!

I’m not one for reading books, I’d rather craft. My sister talked me into reading. The summary had me wanting more so I got the first book….. I finished it in 2 weeks which is extremely fast for me. I struggled putting it down honestly. It’s so well written and detailed that I could imagine everything in my head as I read it, like my own personal show.

Amazing!

I was leery to read but this book was amazing. Think Harry Potter for adults but with way more dragons! Reader beware there is lots of spice to be found in these pages!

Fantastic!

I normally wouldn't have read this, but it was a book club read. I couldn't put it down! Well written and just a great read. You won't be disappointed!

Stayed up all night to read it!

First book in a long time that I literally could not put down! Stayed up all night to read it and it was completely worth it! Can’t wait for the next one!
