The Fourth Wing

In my continuing effort to branch out and find something to read more interesting than scrolling through social media as I go to sleep, I tried this fantasy novel by Rebecca Yarrow. My perception is she is a romance writer, but there were dragons is this one. I threw caution to the wind and bought it.

It was awesome! I finished it in about 10 days. AND I have not picked up a paper book and read in the middle of the day in decades. That streak has ended. I literally had to set a timer to go back to what I needed to do during the day. Wow!

Now, I must warn you, THIS IS NOT A KIDS BOOK! This series is much closer to Game of Thrones than it is Harry Potter. While there are only a couple sex a scenes, they are graphic. And there is someone dying every 10 - 15 pages. Again, more like Game of Thrones but much different.

As I reflect back, not only is Yarros a great writer, she has created a story different from anything else I have read or seen. It is rare for me to find something that is this different and entertaining. This series it it.

If you are over 21, I highly recommend. I know this means anyone who reads this who is less than 21 will now want to pick it up. To the one or two of you who fit this category, I suggest you wait. The book will be much more fun when you have a few more years under your belt.

SHINE!
