Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
Rebecca Yarros is an award winning author for several YA themed books - and Fourth Wing is her latest being touted as NA (New Adult) Epic Fantasy. Which I felt frankly, was just license for perhaps a little bit more explicitly wilder romance elements and maybe some more grimmer action. But all that aside, Fourth Wing is every bit the hyped TikTok sensation that it claims to be. A rip roaring exciting epic fantasy set in a war school featuring a sassy heroine, some broody criminally good looking and certified badass boys and tons of fire-breathing dragons. What is NOT to love. Rebecca isn't looking to reinvent the genre but she brings in a refreshing twist to the tropes like war school, dragons and the sizzling romance that are the basic themes on which the story is built. The main reason you will love this book is Violet Sorrengail - our plucky heroine, who was supposed to be joining the Scribes quadrant and definitely not the riders quadrant, unlike her whole family before her.
