Tairn rage is my favorite.
Andarna's rage is also my favorite.
Xaden. Heart eyes. That's attractive.


It's the MMC feeding the FMC for me.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Summary: "Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise."

THE DRAGONS! Like, the exact dragons I would want in a fantasy book. Chef's kiss. Violet/Violence - see Violence by Blink-182.

The book hangover is real.

So yeah. This is going to be on my favorites of 2023.
Do I have words for this review. Yes I do....but gifs. 
It's the type of book I love to read with YA vibes that isn't YA, enemies tension, and height differences, and girls being underestimated and then being ba, magic powers, and dragons, and dragons and dragons and dragons.
Plus the end.
I'll just be on the floor waiting for my backordered copy, and then my preordered second book.....
