Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (Empyrean 1) – Story Darlings
Greetings, would-be cadets. Today, the Darlings discuss the romantasy phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (Empyrean series book 1), and what a ride it is.
Consider yourself conscripted into Basgiath War College where, if lucky, you'll gain entry into your desired quadrant. That is, if you can survive its demands. Rider, Scribe, Healer, Infantry—choose carefully.
We meet chronically injured, Violet Sorrengail (aka Violence) and the tall, dark, and handsome, Xaden Riorson—son of the Great Betrayer, Jack(-ass) Barlowe, and a small army of other cadets who may or may not survive their first year at Basgiath.
Pour one out for [redacted].
We hope you enjoy this bonus episode while we take a short break between our ACOTAR and Crescent City series readalongs. Iron Flame discussion: imminent.
Thank you so much for listening.
