Fourth Wing

Wow! What a well-written book! This first installment of the Empyrean series took my breath away, after getting over hating half the characters in the beginning. It is a dark fantasy; a cadet school for fighting on dragons where a large percentage of the students die before graduation. It is also a steamy romance. A little research showed that Yarros wrote a lot of romances before turning to adult fantasy. I think my mom would have liked this book for that part of it. It's very fast paced, and the writing simply holds you in its grasp. I surprised myself by how much I loved this book club selection. It will be interesting to see what the reaction will be from the group. I bet this will be a love it or hate it book.
