fourth wing follows a familiar formula for lovers of ya fantasy we’ve got quadrants instead of housesdistrictsfactions a love triangle with our main character who has to choose between a bad boy and a boy next door a ballsy main character who ends up doing unexpected badass warrior stuff customized powers magic school political rebellion and lovable talking dragons to ride i detect flavors of divergent dragons of pern the hunger games harry potter and a court of thorns and roses et al but in spite of the familiarity of so many pieces that have become hallmark tropes to the ya fantasy genre fourth wing has its own definitive identity and is still worth the readrebecca yarros does a great job showing rather than telling her world building is solid and her characters move the story along fleshing out the story through their actions and interactions without resorting to info dumping the pacing is surprisingly quick given how long the book is and the reader will appreciate the swoops and twists of the plot and of course no review of fourth wing would be complete without a hat tip to the sheer spice of certain scenes if it wasn’t for the dragons one might accuse this book of being a bit of a bodice ripper in a really fun way
