"Fourth Wing will have your heart pounding from beginning to end... A fantasy like you've never read before." ―#1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

Enter the brutal and elite world of a war college for dragon riders from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Yarros

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.

The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

Me ha encantado el libro. Pese a que no es un libro ligero lo he leído en 3 días. Me encanta la forma en la que presenta a los personajes y cómo mantiene la tensión y la emoción en cada página. Me ha recordado bastante a la saga de Divergente.

Hunger Games meets American Ninja Warrior plus dragons. Ultimately a bit silly but compulsively readable and very entertaining.

The book was mediocre. It had too many similarities to The Hunger Games and Harry Potter. The sex scenes were unnecessary as well. I will not continue this series. It feels like it's more geared towards readers in the 25-40 age group..
