.RebeccaYarros's FourthWing blends familiar fantasy elements to create an epic adventure that feels fresh and new. alanajoli reviews:
has a lot of “new” qualifiers: it’s a new book in a brand new series. It’s in the new adult category, and it’s the first book of a new imprint of romantic fantasy: Entangled Publishing’s new Red Tower Books. But with all that’s new about the book, what’s most impressive is how Yarros takes familiar tropes and themes and presents them so well that the book is hard to put down.
This is not a lightly made joke, either. Those who want to become dragon riders have to cross a dangerous parapet even to be admitted, and many don’t make it over. The training for new cadets is brutal, and many more die before they ever get a chance to find a dragon to bond with. Dragons themselves are picky, and even more cadets are killed by the dragons themselves, if the dragons find a candidate unworthy.
At the beginning, Violet also considers herself fragile—but as she overcomes challenge after challenge within the Riders’ Quadrant, frequently solving problems her own way rather than by a more traditional path, she begins to realize that those who have coddled her are holding her back. She makes her own friends and allegiances and gains her own confidence until she realizes that the woman she is now wouldn’t be happy escaping to the Scribes’ Quadrant.
Violet’s advancement through a violent world is reminiscent of other fantasies, like N. E. Davenport’swhere a young woman has to forge a path of her own through a military landscape. The early placement of a love triangle, with the boy next door vs. the bad boy, seems as though it might journey intoterritory—something likely to please fans of Sarah J. Maas.
