Fourth Wing - Why it's Worth the Hype

Welcome to YA January! (Or YAnuary!) This month I'm introducing YA books that you might like to read. Fourth Wing has been a massive success. But lots of people love to bash on this series for no good reason. You can ignore all that. Here's some of the great things about Fourth Wing. I'll discuss the gateway worldbuilding, why the romance plot works, and YES, list out some of the flaws too. Plus we'll chat about the use of sex scenes and finding age appropriate content. Finally, I'll look at the brilliant way this book mirrors real life issues of military imperialism and propaganda.
