The Fourth Wing By Rebecca Yarros was one of the biggest break out books of 2023. I heard about it through word of mouth on TikTok and Bookstagram and was able to snag a copy at my local library pretty quickly and I LOVED it!
So What is the Fourth Wing By Rebecca Yarros About?
When I’ve been asked to describe The Fourth Wing I always say: Think Divergent, with dragons and Sex!

She must fight to survive using her intelligence and resilience, all while navigating a complicated( and HOT) relationship with a fellow rider.
Literally, it’s the perfect quick escape.
