Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros My rating: 3 of 5 stars I finished reading Fourth Wing and... I hate it! But, I liked it! But I hate it! But it's really cool! But, oh my god! No, don't!

There were incredible action scenes. I loved Sevro and the Howlers, and I loved how Darrow fought through it all. I could not stop myself from putting the second book of the series on hold on the library app, and I may consider buying physical copies to have the whole series if it keeps going as the first book went.
