Rebecca Gyros' fourth wing merges military fiction, romance, and dragon lore into a captivating fantasy narrative. The story follows Violet Soringale, an intellectually gifted but physically fragile young woman at Baskyeth War College. Themes of perseverance, intellect over strength, loyalty, and trust complexities are explored through Violet's journey in dragon writing. Violet battles the brutal training, forms a dragon bond, and uncovers conspiracies, facing physical challenges, and a growing attraction to Satan. Gyros' immersive, fast-paced writing balances action, character development, and world-building in a richly detailed universe with dragons. Violet's compelling evolution from a weak candidate to a determined dragon writer is a highlight alongside well-developed supporting characters. While some may find the romance subplot distracting and the training's brutality intense, fourth wing offers an exciting blend of action.
