What Is the Empyrean Series About?
Before delving into the series, a friend described "Fourth Wing" to me as "Like the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." While this comparison holds true in the initial stages, the narrative quickly evolves into something more akin to the Twilight series, embracing its identity as a magical, fantasy romance novel that doesn't shy away from graphic details.
The series centers around Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly fragile young woman forced by her powerful mother to join the perilous academy of dragon riders. As Violet navigates her challenges and strives to survive, she grapples with complex emotions toward her mother, an old friend, and a boy she initially believes wants her dead. Amidst this, deeper mysteries involving the dragons and her world unfold, placing Violet at the epicenter of a thrilling romance and an intricate plot.
