☼SYNOPSIS


Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders.

But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.

She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise.

Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret.

Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die



☾REVIEW


★★★★


Rating: 4.5 out of 5.


Rebecca Yarros takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the uncharted skies with her latest novel, "Fourth Wing." This gripping tale seamlessly blends elements of romance, suspense, and science fiction, offering a refreshing take on the genre. With its well-crafted plot, dynamic characters, and evocative writing, "Fourth Wing" earns a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars.


At the heart of the story is the charismatic protagonist, Amelia Harper, an audacious pilot with a thirst for adventure and a mysterious past. Yarros skillfully introduces readers to a world where the boundaries of reality are pushed to the limit, and the lines between love and danger become blurred. The plot unfolds with a perfect balance of action and emotion, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as they navigate the twists and turns of this otherworldly narrative.


One of the novel's standout features is Yarros's ability to create a vivid and immersive setting. The futuristic world she builds is rich in detail, with meticulously crafted descriptions that bring the Fourth Wing universe to life. From the bustling airships to the breathtaking landscapes, every aspect of the world feels authentic and serves as a captivating backdrop to the unfolding drama.


The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and Yarros skillfully weaves a complex web of relationships that adds depth to the narrative. Amelia's journey is not just about navigating the skies; it's also about navigating the complexities of her heart. The romance is both tender and passionate, adding a layer of emotional resonance that elevates the story beyond its genre confines.


While the pacing is generally well-maintained, there are moments where the plot feels slightly rushed, and certain elements could have been further explored. However, these minor shortcomings are easily overshadowed by the overall strength of the narrative.


In conclusion, "Fourth Wing" is a thrilling and captivating read that will leave readers yearning for more. Rebecca Yarros has crafted a novel that transcends genre boundaries, offering a unique blend of romance and science fiction that is sure to resonate with a wide audience. With its dynamic characters, well-developed world-building, and pulse-pounding plot, "Fourth Wing" earns its place among the must-reads of the year, securing a well-deserved 4.5 out of 5 stars.

☼SYNOPSIS


They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.


Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.


For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.


When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. 


Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

★★★★


Rating: 4 out of 5.


the fact that this reminded me so much of the summer I turned pretty series made it more enjoyable haha.


This is a friends to lovers with a second chance romance, to me that sound like perfection but IDK I feel like there was something lacking.

The summer vibes were there, it was easy to read however, it felt like something I had already read before and when the twist happened I was so not impressed with it. 


I really liked the jumps in time and how you get to see their relationship build up, and what was THAT thing that made them fall apart.



With the being said, if you need to feel the void that TSITP has left you, read this book, it would probably fulfill that. But also if you are looking for a quick, not so smutty, summer romance this will also be for you!

★★★.5 


Rating: 3.5 out of 5.


first of all, how STUNNING is the cover of this book, i would buy it just to have it!


Now, on to the actual story. It actually was so much fun! it has a mixture of all of the thing i tend to love; mystery, magic and romance! 


The mystery aspect is probably one of the most present but as the story keeps evolving, you get to discover the magical world our main characters live in. 


The romance was quite cute, it felt new and naïve and something like a first love, i feel like it added a whole new dimension that complemented very well the story.


However, why such a low rating? well, the story does sound incredibly appealing and like i said, right up my alley buuuuut the characters felt a bit flat hence why i couldn’t give it a higher rating. I couldn’t connect with them to a deeper level and didn’t feel all that much when the murder was discovered.


Like i said, everything seems to fit into this book but it was a bit forgettable, i do really recommend it as im sure it could be highly enjoyable for some readers out there!

☼SYNOPSIS


Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.


Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.


But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.


But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?



☾REVIEW

Rating: 4 out of 5.


OMG this was such a fuuun read!!!


I do have to say that I haven't read the love hypothesis before this one but I believe they are different stories and do not interfiere with each other. 


The ambience was everything, I can see why maybe some people don't really vibe with the whole geek and nasa vibes but that made me love this even more! 

The romance was also really really cute, their chemistry was absolutely there.



However, I do have a few things that made this book a 4 star instead of a 5. First of all I genuinely feel like everyone expected so much, including me, and while its a good book and I had a really great time (It also went by soooo fast), I could easily forget about it as It is not all that memorable.


Aside from that, the female MC was constantly saying how Levi (the male MC) used to hate her in grad school, he tells her MORE THAN ONCE, that he did not hated her still, she repeated herself every single 20%.

There is also this phenomenon were when only the men validates a woman's work its beloved to be useful, which totally unfair, and while the female MC was making a point about it, she kept being under the men and did not stand up for herself. 


Overall, it is a super fast read and quite enjoyable as well, I am know considering reading the love hypothesis even if the hype is long gone haha! 

also, if you have read both, which one is better?

My favorite thing in the world is to explore traditional romance tropes—and to picture how they’ll play out in academic settings.

Rival scientists falling in love despite their better judgement?

There’s only one cot in the lab?

Fake dating during faculty meeting?

Sign me up!

I’m originally from Italy, lived in Japan and Germany, and eventually moved to the US to pursue a Ph.D. in Neuroscience. I recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies me. Oh, the sheer dread of being entrusted with the care of young minds!

When I’m not at work you can find me binge-watching shows with my feline overlords (and my slightly less feline husband), running, or eating candy.

Oh, and I’m a New York Times Bestselling Author.
