So I finished, fourth wing last night and I’m totally disappointed, it’s the worst book I’ve read this year and one of the worst I’ve read in recent times, I read so many positive reviews about it that I expected a totally incredible story, nothing in the book works, the writing almost amateur( Wattapp says Hello!) character without personality, repetitive plot( I got sick of reading Violeta saying so much: I’m smaller and Brittle than everyone else) the feeling I had was that Rebecca Yarros intended to write a YA, but then because she wanted to write adult scenes (laughable by the way) changed the age of the characters to over twenty, without changing anything in the plot, all their attitudes and everything they do is as if they were 15 year old teenagers, nothing is original, the academy part sounds like a bad copy of Sabaa Tahir’s The Ember in the Ashes (it’s actually a great example of a well-written fantasy series), the dragons are a duller version of How to Train Your Dragon, the romance part is so childish and shameful, and the plot twist at the end was obvious from the beginning I know that most people loved the book and I respect that, but I would like to know if anyone else has a similar opinion.

    It’s a trash book that seems to be for teenagers who have very little reading experience

    I was so sure I’d like it, I preordered the 2nd one before I even read thr 1st one. Like an idiot. The 2nd one is even worse somehow.

    I hold no judgment for people who enjoy the New Adult genre. I enjoy it myself sometimes, which is why I thought I’d enjoy FW. But I feel like I can’t trust reviews for the genre anymore.

    It’s a by the numbers Harry-Divergent-Games-Giver clone…except with half the writing skill and next to zero charm. NONE of the characters were fleshed out (or relatable) and the protagonist was insufferable. It’s an overhyped TikTok cow patty of a book.
