09. The Fourth Wing debrief (Part 1)

***SPOILER ALERTS - Major spoilers in this episode so do not listen if you have not read The Fourth Wing - Rebecca Yarros SHOW NOTES The first book in the Empyrean series from Rebecca J Maas is The Fourth Wing. This book takes no time in drawing the reader into the world of Basgiath War College in Navarre. We follow the experience of Violet Sorrengail as she fights, literally, to become a dragon rider in the Riders Quadrant against all odds, many people trying to assassinate her and her own body being physically fragile and breakable. She is smart though, and tenacious and hugely compassionate and it’s difficult not to fall in love with her. Add in a HOT wingleader who she is most definitely not meant to fall for, some magi cal, powerful dragons, well written slow burn and spicy scenes and a compelling action story and you have yourselves one of our top picks of the year! Hot topics we discuss - The virality of The Fourth Wing and it bringing many readers to this genre - The story outline and the main plotlines of the first three quarters of the book. - The main characters, family lines and friendships formed. - How the dragons bond to their riders. What we are reading right now.
