Iron Flame By Rebecca Yarros

 Spoilers for Fourth Wing Iron Flame is the second book of The Empyreon series and the sequel to Fourth Wing, continuing Violet's story at the Basgiath war college into her second year as she deals with the revelations from the first book. Violet has to simultaneously try to continue with her somewhat normal life struggling to survive in the rider's quadrant and deal with the knowledge that wyverns are real, that the people in charge are doing nothing to help, and that she is being kept out of the rebellion she so desperately wants to help. A new vice commander joining the college who is determined to break Violet to get her to confess what she knows and give up the secrets of the rebellion makes the deadly war college even more dangerous than usual.  I really liked this as a sequel to the fourth wing, I feel like it expanded on the consequences of the first book very realistically. The knowledge that Violet gains at the end of the last book shakes her to the core, loosing one...

Bride by Ali Hazelwood

  A Vampyre and a Werewolf get into an arranged marriage to keep the peace between their two people what else can I say, turns out a lot.

Throughout the book, we learn more about Miser...

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros book review

  Fourth Wing is one of the most popular fiction books to be released recently, I haven't been able to walk into a bookshop since its release without it being on a bookshelf front and center so when it came out in paperback it felt like I should finally get around to reading it (especially with two of my friends also telling me I should).  Fourth Wing is about Violet Sorrengail, a small girl with chronic pain issues, who was trained her whole life by her father to be a scribe and to write down the facts of the war between her country and the outside forces that have been going on for centuries, instead being thrust into the most dangerous course at the Basigath war college by her war general mother who refuses to let her daughter be perceived as weak by not becoming a dragon rider like herself and Violets siblings. The riders course is almost a death sentence for someone like Violet who hasn't trained for long enough, riders are brutal and candidates can die at any given point...
