Fourth Wing

(This is more of a 3.5 star book for me, than a 4.00. But dragons gets extra points)

If it weren't for my friends I wouldn't pick this book up.

And, even if I had, i maybe would've given up in the first 150-200 pages. The story, for me, only starts picking up around page 200.

I really did end up really enjoying this book. Of course, if you have read enough of these, you can predict a few things that'll happen. The book also has a lot of similarities with Eragon and Dragonriders of Pern as well. At least, in my case, it works in favour of the book.

I really liked the world that the author had built. But I wish she had included a lot more descriptions of the dragons, the gryphons and others. I want to know more about what the world looks like, what the war college looks like. I find my self struggling to fill in those gaps.

I also wish there was more lore-building. I feel like it was cery evident what'll happen at the end of the novel with the venin and wyvern only because that's the only bit of lore/folktale that had been introduced.

Apart from those few things, I think this book is really good. I'm genuinely excited for the sequel coming out this Tuesday.
