Tahla
I am so bummed by how lousy this suddenly got. I was surprised that I enjoyed Fourth Wing as much as I did, and started the sequel immediately. Fourth Wing was a good mix of dragons, magic, and a romance plot that isn't too cringe. But the sequel was suddenly a wall of angst. So much angst. All angst! I only made it to chapter three, and decided to double check online, because the turn off was so intense. Does this improve? And the general consensus seems to be that it does not. I may read a synopsis, and give the third book a try at some point, because I was invested in the overall story and world, even if the romance portions read like a R-rated YA book. But as it stands, I think I'll be moving onto something else for now!
