The book had a mostly positive critical reception. Publishers Weekly gave the book a starred review, praising its worldbuilding, characters and "sexy dark academia aesthetic". [5] Alana Joli Abbott, in a review for Paste, praised its use of familiar tropes and compared it favorably to fantasy series like Blood Trials by N.E. Davenport and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. [2] There were many aspects of Violet’s character which I resonated with. Violet is strong, determined to survive; an anger at all the unfairness simmers but it rarely overwhelms her. Despite the constant threat to her life, she has a kindness deep within her, she’s empathetic, she thinks of the fallen cadets and tries to honour their loss in small ways. Her training as a scribe helps her more than ever in her training to become a dragon rider, her intelligence is her asset and she makes sure she uses it. Having a physical disability myself, I related to Violet’s feelings of frustration at the way others would constantly remind her of her weaknesses, of what her body couldn’t do. Proving her capabilities to everyone else and to herself became her main goal, she finds new ways around her limitations, adapting her life to cater to her physical needs and that’s exactly what everyone with a disability or chronic illness will do. Welcome to the brutal and elite world of Basgiath War College, where everyone has an agenda, and every night could be your last ... An exhilarating dragon ride of a fantasy! Brutal, fast-paced, compelling, and simmering with romantic tension that left me on the edge of my seat. Fourth Wing is everything I want in a book and more. Phenomenal! Move this one to the top of your TBR." --Samantha Young, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author " 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.

Yarros is a long-time author, so I’m just thrilled to see her find this success with a series that seems very aligned with herself. (She has a love of history and dragons, and she has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which the protagonist has.) It just always brings me joy to see authors hit it big commercially later in their careers. Undoubtedly, her life is now forever changed. House of the Dragon meets Divergent in this utterly thrilling, unputdownable new fantasy! Fourth Wing is full of scintillating adventure, soaring dragon flight, and slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance. Climb on and enjoy the ride! * Amalie Howard * days after Violet burns Aurelie’s belongings, Xaden tells Violet that the right way to complete Gauntlet isn’t the only way. Early March (ch24)- Violet and Xaden talk with Colonel Aetos and General Sorrengail on the way to the flight fields (reference to Violet knowing where her father’s important notes are in the archives)
