Fourth Wing

The best and quickest description I can give it is, “The Hunger Games” meets “Harry Potter” with dragons.

I utterly devoured this book, staying up far too late reading it!

I've loved it so much I am buying it so that I can go back and dissect what and how the author has done, because she's done it so well.

The story follows Violet as she is required to try out to become a dragon rider.

There are a brutal series of obstacles to overcome, and at the very least, Violet herself doesn't expect to survive because she's most definitely not the strongest among the contenders.

However, she is cunning and smart, and over time she comes to realise that if she can keep her wits about her, she might just last another day.

That is, of course, if she doesn't get killed by the other contenders, and doesn't fall for the one person there who's sworn to kill her as vengeance for his parents deaths at the hands of her mother.

If you get just one book this year, make it this one!
