Book Discussion: Fourth Wing
Tuesday, June 2 - 6:30 p.m.

Ages 18 and up (firm). The Fourth Wing series is noted for its blend of high-stakes fantasy, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, unique dragon-centric world-building, and a strong female protagonist that have put it at the top of the “romantasy” genre. (Participants should have read at least the first book in the series before the discussion.)

Fourth Wing follows 20-year-old Violet Sorrengail, who is forced by her ruthless mother to join the brutal Basgiath War College to become a dragon rider rather than a scribe. Violet survives deadly training, bonds with two dragons (Tairn and Andarna), and navigates romance with Xaden Riorson, a powerful rebel leader’s son.
