I will be starting a new section on my blog dedicated to sharing book reviews and recommendations! Reading has become one of the best ways for me to slow down and recharge, especially after experiencing burnout. I always enjoy discovering what books others are reading, so I thought, why not share my own favourites with you too? I’ll kick off this series with Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, a captivating read that swept me into its fantasy world. Through these recommendations, I hope to inspire you to find the same joy and relaxation in reading that I have. Whether you’re looking for a captivating fantasy, a heartwarming romance, or a thrilling journey into magical worlds, I can’t wait to share these stories with you.
Instead of writing detailed reviews, I’ll provide brief overviews of the storylines to avoid any spoilers. Happy reading!
"Fear is not the enemy, but rather the catalyst for growth and bravery."
I have never been one to pick up a book for fun or to relax. In fact, you could say my relationship with reading has been non-existent. That was until I stumbled upon a little fantasy series called Fourth Wing.
Prior to reading this book, I typically enjoyed romance novels, but I kept seeing Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing recommended everywhere. It’s a story about dragons, and to be honest, that didn’t particularly interest me. However, since I do love TV shows about vampires and witches and can’t forget Game of Thrones had dragons, I thought I would give it a go. The numerous glowing reviews also persuaded me to try it, and I’m so glad I did. I had never really experienced a book that captured my imagination to the point where I found myself lost in its world for days on end—until this book.
I love to tell everyone about this book because it marked the beginning of my newfound passion for reading. Immersing myself in its story truly helps calm my mind and brings me a sense of peace and enjoyment.
