•I believe you're confusing "Rebecca Yarros CAN write a separate book about the dragons" with "Rebecca Yarros should have wrote THIS book about the dragons". Because Tairn is really the only remotely likeable character in this entire thing. Fortunately, though, he's pretty much the same character as Draco in Dragonheart, so you're better off just watching Dragonheart. Yes, the ending is a bit of a downer, but it's still a hell of a lot better than Fourth Wing. •This story is the exact opposite of a slow burn. Violet and Xaden go from 0 to 100 WAY too quickly and it lead to the exact problem people expected its sequel to have: Rebecca Yarros has no idea how to advance the relationship beyond this book now that they're together.
Can't find a copy until June 16th 😑 Barnes and Noble sold out, Amazon won't have any copies for a while and shipping is 1 to 2 MONTHS. I can do kindle, but being a book fanatic, I would love to get my hands on an actual copy of it. UGH. Decisions decisions....
😭😭😭 noooo. Have you tried your local Walmart or Costco? People have been still randomly finding it at their local stores if they’re lucky 🥲 I know I love having a physical copy of books
I love fantasy but I don't love romance. Some romance in a book is fine. Like A Deadly Education, the Scholomance book by Naomi Novik, totally fine they had romance in it. I wonder if this one will be palatable? How heavy IS the romance exactly? Is it a major part of the book? Is that what makes it romantacy?
OMG YES! Another Violet and Xaden fan making their way through the book world! That ending though, right?! Do you think the next book will pick up right where it left off, or will there be a time jump?
There was actually an interview with Rebecca Yarros where they asked about the pronunciation of different names, and Basgiath is actually pronounced “bus-GUY-uth”.
I loved this book. I especially like the challenges and the military setting. If you're not in the military it will probably not be as entertaining. I totally understand this setting. It reminds me so much of the military.
@@ElizasBookshelf YES, I finished it but it was so good, I'm reading it again! Thanks for the recommendations, you're my GO TO for book recommendations!! 😄
18+ there is porn in this book and a LOT of dirty language. I’m 29 and it’s actually really annoying and unnecessary. I would enjoy it much more if she wasn’t “trying” so hard to be cool. It’s a great book, just wait for a bit :)
@@connorhope1050 I feel you- I feel like I’m still in a book hangover and nothing is keeping my interest! The only one was serpent and the wings of night
If you are okay with the romance being one of the main plot lines I’d say READ IT!! Because the magic system and action was just so so good as well. But I do know some of my friends don’t care for that so I haven’t raved as much to them 🤣
@@ElizasBookshelf The magic system isn't really that good. I can see why it seems that way given that it's functional while the characters and worldbuilding around it are a smoldering wreck, but when you look at similarly structured magic systems you see there's very little there. There is only the bare minimum necessary to function and not much else.
Can we get something besides dragons? It's part of a trope that's been absolutely wore slap out. Also, AGAIN with the schools? Typical student goes off to school. UGH
I‘m sorry but the plot twist at the end was so clear and predictable from the beginning. Violet is the worst most obnoxious character ever, a „smart“ character written by a very dumb author. The book has a plot but not a story, nothing matters, nobody matters, there is no development of characters or relationships, no tension between Xaden and Violet (bc he was NEVER her enemy to begin with), there is no reason the both of them even like each other. At not a single point in the book has violet ever cared about anyone else beside herself, she has no real bond with anyone. Most obvious Mary Sue I have ever seen. Also all tropes, settings and events are stolen from other stories. Yarros didn’t even bother to research some words she put into the book. She didn’t care about the story besides being smutty. And I don’t see why anyone else should either. This book is going to kill good literature. And everyone supporting it should be ashamed for making the world a little worse.
I mean,it is kill or be killed kind of situation make sense why she would only care abt herself other than Rhi at the beginning. The enemies to lovers are also very vague.Its there just not too intense. And this is the first time Yarros ever wrote fantasy.It'd say its pretty good.Fourth wing is my first dive into the fantasy genre. Could there be improvment? Deffinitely! But yeah its my fav book so far!Plus its still young many books are still on the way.Just hoping its not rushed😅
@@ElizasBookshelf I know! I mean Xaden is just sexy and cares for her so much and the Liam is so pressious. The friendships and just the overall vibe I got was similar to how to train your dragon
@@ElizasBookshelf Yes!! I dont want to spoil but that little nugget at the end about the golden dragon has be beyond intrigged. The powers too... I just need the next book so bad
Violet is very easily the worst character in this story. She's a vapid, annoying womanchild whom the plot bends over backwards for because god forbid she receive anything resembling character development.
Impatiently waiting for my local bookstore to have back in stock. 😭🙈 They literally ran out of this beautiful book within a day of its release! I'm dying to read it asap! 📖🙊💕🖤
@@ElizasBookshelf Thanks so much for taking the time to recommend it and updating us on the next release! 🖤🖤 I put on my calendar so I can get the next book early when it comes out 😂🙊 hopefully this time I'll get it! 👌🤣🤣
It’s great. Would be ten times better if it wasn’t so unnecessarily crass and the porn isn’t needed. She’s a great writer, but she’s falling back on “being cool” to get people to buy her book. I’m almost finished with the book, and I really like it. It’s just irksome and annoying at times.
If that’s the best of the year, you really should revisit what do you think about prose. Because even Ellie Brooks rants this and she loves romance. There is a reason for it. This has bad writing. Not simply easy reading. This looks like a draft without editor work or beta reader. Low level dialogues, extremely bad plot holes, even paradoxes, “Nobody. Uses. This. In. A. Book. Because. It’s. Stupid.” Just like that. So if you can’t make a difference here… and you think this book is good… read some books. The thing is: I did find errors in my favorite books too. Being for example a fan of Sanderson (not his book is my favorite) we do find errors in his books. And if you watch his live streams he answers them. But those are so minor issues that the fans are looking under the microscope. This? I’m not a professional editor but I could send this book back easily to rewrite only with my markers thats how bad it is.
This book was entertaining but it is genuinely written badly 😂 Definitely has a nostalgic factor tho, there’s nothing new in this book if you have read any other romantasy or shitty YA fantasy book.
@@Osama_2307 Good maybe even great premise, terrible character writing, terrible plot convinience, love story so executed like a 6 year old and legit reads like some reddit fanfic, Dragon sex??, super predictible, no depth, OP protagonist. Not surprised if you consider what other junk this woman has written. If you are a very horny 12 year old girl u might enjoy.

Soooo the implication I’m getting behind this comment is that reading about ‘dragons and other nonsense’ is childish.

Loved this book!! Have you read only a monster by Vanessa Len? I loved that one too :)
Can I read it as a stand alone?
i just finished this book today, and this was my favourite book i've ever read!! i cannot get onto iron flame
I loved this book so much, that as soon as I finished it I ran downstairs and into town and bought iron flame. Definitely obsessed with it!!! 😌
is it clean?

I'd say the romance is not that heavy I guess.But,the tension sure is.Maybe my reply now would be useless but I'd like to say something anyways.
OMG YES! Another Violet and Xaden fan making their way through the book world! That ending though, right?! Do you think the next book will pick up right where it left off, or will there be a time jump?
There is no time jump.....picks right back up.
Yeah,not many booktuber like it.Kinda sad.
There was actually an interview with Rebecca Yarros where they asked about the pronunciation of different names, and Basgiath is actually pronounced “bus-GUY-uth”.
Sure is a good thing her opinion means nothing considering she can't even pronounce the name of the language she's appropriating correctly.
I bought it the other day with Iron Flame, what do you think people is it worth the read ?
For me it is.As a first time fantasy reader.
What is the age recommendation for it?
I would say 16, there are a lot of spicy scenes and some onther grafics
I loved this book. I especially like the challenges and the military setting. If you're not in the military it will probably not be as entertaining. I totally understand this setting. It reminds me so much of the military.
I love it!! Did you read the second one??
"The interwebs" and the giggle made me die!
Lol!! cause I say that all the time but was like wait people may think I’m weird so I started laughing to myself 🤣🤣
Favorite book of the year!? Okk be right back, asking Everyday Chris to get it for me now hahah

It's horrible, it's misleading and glorifies military dictatorship and justifies wasting lives. Romance wise it's nonsense and cliche
Great review. I love this book. Almost as good as 3rd wing.
I’ve heard all the fourth wing jokes from Alex!
Is this limited edition hardback??
It’s the first print US edition!
Im sorry but i did not give this book to rip my heart out near the end there, i was in full blown tears😫😭
What the heck right?! 😭😭😭 Iron flame needs to come here stat I need to see what happens next!!!
I need this next book like yesterday because I have no idea what I am going to read now 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

@@ElizasBookshelf ok I’ll definitely give that a try and get back to you, I might need to give myself a day or two to recover tho 😂
@@connorhope1050 I can relate 😂
Do you think this book is directed more to a female reader? Wanting to pick it up but I’m hesitant
