The opening shot 🤣

A very fair review, very nicely put together. Congratulations.

[Paromita_M]

Question at the end: Yes I read it intending to laugh with a friend. Joke was on us. 3/10.

Writing a religious cosmic-horror anthology titled "The Crimson Gospel". Its about these interdimensional cat people whose leader is a pope-like being who prophecies the end of the world.

I came to a 300 page mark and cannot take it anymore. I just can´t. Excellent review, every word Jason. Thanks

Most ladies, that have better mental capacity and a few more quality books under their belt, hate this book.

I think this might be my favourite review of yours ever! 😱 I was thoroughly entertained and I thought it was a great balance of humour and also some really great analysis too. There were some really great insights and it was so interesting to learn how the story could have been enhanced. You have created the unintentional consequence of me buying the book. As I’ve read some trashy chick lit in my time, I’m curious how it’ll land with me haha.

Here’s hoping you’ll do more similar reviews- maybe ACOTAR? 😃

[THFLCNx]

Omg this was gold! 🤣 That opening quote! 😂 And the Lego picture! 😂💀 This sounds like a smuttier version of Eragon. And maybe written worse. 😆

[leehunts]

You’re welcome for the suggestion.

This is a historic moment.

I just couldn't read past 8% of this book and that 8% was torture reading. I will never get women that think this book is phenomenal

[miyayume_eclectic_dream]

Finally a review without a preexisting hype. For the record I haven't read it 🤷‍♀️

P.S.
Have you one like this about Twilight?

Thank you for this review. Ive been looking for some constructive criticism on this book for a while. Actually I did enjoy Fourth Wing despite its flaws that u mentioned here. However, after reading the second book in the series, Iron Flame, I realised that all the flaws are trippled there, not to mention the plot not making sense anymore. Almost made me embarrassed to like the first book 😅

I am curious to know your thoughts on ACOTAR books ( A Court of Thrones and Roses). If you ever decide to give a review for it, I would suggest reading first 2 books, not just one. As the first one is the introduction to the story and world (and most people are not super big fans of it), and second is the one where things start to get very interesting and intense

[faqeer]

Also the repetition of "vise around my heart" and mage lights and whatnot. Really, really throws you off

[helofhelheim]

I am the target demographic of this book, and I bought it a couple weeks after it came out because of the hype . I had to take a break like 40 pages in because it was just messy. And the more I hear about it I don't know if I can pick it back up. I can't handle cringe LOL

"I won't talk about my sex life, I'm talkin' movies and books!" Aw, come on Jason. I'm sure you're a chad.

I'll admit, I burst out laughing when I read the bit where she sees Xaden for the first time, and then we learn it's the guy that her sister told her to beware of, I laughed even harder. Because of course that's the one who she gets hot and bothered about. God bless you man for taking this on, and taking this L on the chin. We owe you a great debt on the YouTube community.

[inkstainedgirl]

Did she actually write the book or did chatgpt? It sounds terrible.

[Kathywake]

Please read Jennifer Armentrout. I swear I lost years off my life reading her books.

[Magicthistles]

Not the entrance!! I can’t with the entrance!

[Iris-ml]

I think if I were to make a review it would be completely opposite... the book is amazing- 👀

[GideonCyn]

The only logical explanation as to why this book is so popular is because of how people tend to behave when it comes to tribalism. People tend to gravitate toward the biggest tribe as to not be ostracized from the bigger group as a whole. I hate to over generalize and i am not a psychologist in anyway but this book sorta proves that women (not all women, i am over generalizing) will gravitate toward the largest most successful tribe, accept their tenants and recite their rules and laws in order to be accepted and with this comes a sense of security. This is a fundamental part of fandom and group identity, readers (and in particular women) identify more with the group behind the novel rather than the novel itself. Modern tribalism is no longer about physical survival its about shared beliefs and ideas to fit into a particular group. The fourth wing is a good book, that is law, to say otherwise would mean expulsion from the group. Whilst men, tend to go in the opposite direction, men will die on hills all by themselves. I am high af at midknight, i dunno man, make it make sense, this is the best i got.

hey, brazilian reader here, the amazing thumbnail made me click and I loved your analysis. I love high fantasy and love dragons so I think the core idea from fourth wing is really cool but GOD I was aware about some of the points you talked about and they just made me run from this book so fast lol I'm young but this "romantasy" wave where the exagerated romance masks the bad quality of other aspects of the book is so sad to me.
