Fourth wing (Rebecca Yarros) - MY REVIEW
Tumblr media
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“A dragon without its rider is a tragedy, A rider without their dragon is dead.”
THIS BOOK. WTF. I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS I ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START!!
If somebody asked me what this book was like, I would simply say “Hunger games meets how to train your dragon.” As there is so many similarities there, and that is the best comparison I could give!!
The world building was super easy to understand, and not all at once, so the information was easy to digest. I was hooked from page 10!!
You can definitely compare the characters to the hunger games!! Violet as Katniss, Xaden as Peeta, Dain as Gale, Mira as Cinna, Jack as Cato, Imogen as clove, and Rhiannon as Joanna!! (There are so many more but I will run out of space haha!!)
I loved Xaden and Violet, but my god did their story kill me. The length of the book was very intimidating, and I didn’t like how long it took for them to even kiss, Never-mind get together! I usually hate slow burns so this was a downer, but the pay off was definitely worth it!!
As well as this, I really disliked Dain as he was such a pick me! He just gave “Pick me, choose me, love me.” vibes every where he went. Especially when he kept repeating “If you won’t leave here for you, at least do it for me.” SIR. YOU ARE A WALKING TALKING ICK. PLEASE JUST STOP. Why can’t you just accept that Violet has to do this? And rather than make her feel guilty and upset, just help her?
The dragons were super cool, And I really enjoyed the overall story, as well as her writing style!! I will definitely be reading a book from her again :)
Despite these few bad things, this book was still a five star read for me!! That ending was incredible and I genuinely loved this book🥰 It also also reminded me why I got into reading. It was a great escape and an overall really fun read!!

“No, I wasn't afraid. I was tired." Ali's voice broke on the word. "I'm tired of everyone in this city feeding on vengeance. I'm tired of teaching our children to hate and fear other children because their parents are our enemies. And I'm sick and tired of acting like the only way to save our people is to cut down all who might oppose us, as if our enemies won't return the favor the instant power shifts.” ― S.A. Chakraborty, The Kingdom of Copper

I've Been a Book of the Month Member for a Year: Is It Worth It?
I have been a member of the Book of the Month Club since July of 2022. At first, I was very skeptical about joining because I am poor and cannot usually justify buying brand new books. I decided to take the leap, and I have now been using the service every month since! If you are on the bookish side of the internet, you have probably heard of Book of the Month. In case you haven’t, or if you’re…

I Now Have A YouTube Channel!
I Now Have A YouTube Channel!
Photo by Ylanite Koppens on Pexels. TA DAH! 🙂 If you follow me over on my Twitter, which you definitely should be doing, then you would have noticed that I’ve been talking a lot recently about starting my own YouTube channel. I have actually featured on someone else’s channel and got to feel the thrill that comes with being in a live YouTube video, and really, it only felt like a matter of…

Bookish Thoughts - Ep 1 : Should you return the Kindle Ebooks after reading them?
Bookish Thoughts – Ep 1 : Should you return the Kindle Ebooks after reading them?
The current Booktok trend that’s been making waves in the bookish community for all the wrong reasons is the returning of Kindle Ebooks after reading them. Yes, you heard it right! This is currently trending and has gotten the discussion moving on all of the social media platforms. The Bookish community is speaking up on it. So the first time I came to know about this is when I read an Instagram…

My new bralette is too small 😭I picked the wrong band size and I'm going to have to send it back and order a new one. But isn't it cute, though?!
I did check when I went to the supermarket to see if they had anything wireless, just to sleep in, but nothing was in the right size. I'm getting quite frustrated, to be honest.
I'm reading more since I went off track a little the past couple of months. I want to do at least half of my 2024 tbr since I've got a lot of pretty big books on the list this year.

Title: Fairy Tale
Author: Stephen King
Genre: Fantasy
Published: September 6, 2022
My thoughts: Dark nostalgia I can get on board with
Charlie Reade is a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, but carries a heavy load. When he is 17, he meets Howard Bowditch, a recluse with a big dog in a big house at the top of a big hill. In the backyard is a locked shed from which strange sounds emerge.
When Mr. Bowditch dies, he leaves Charlie the house, a massive amount of gold, a cassette tape telling a story that is impossible to believe, and a responsibility far too massive for a boy to shoulder. Inside the shed is a portal to another world, where princesses and princes suffer horrific punishments, dungeons, games in which men and women must fight each other to the death, and a magic sundial that can turn back time.
Fairy Tale is a story as old as myth, and as startling and iconic as the rest of King’s work, about an ordinary guy forced into the hero’s role by circumstance.
While it felt incredibly slow to start, one cannot deny the attention to detail Stephen King gives his characters. Fairy Tale is a story that gives you exactly what you need (and sometimes what you want). The slow start might turn away some readers, but the build-up will be incredibly worth it for others. Somehow Fairy Tale is exceptionally unoriginal while still being a unique experience that will stay with you after reading the last page.
I recommend this for anyone who enjoys a slow character-driven story and that classic fairy tale story from their childhood (albeit in Stephen King’s dark exploration).
