Loved the full dramatization of the audiobook! This book was basically an adult version of Divergent + dragon riding.

Despite my interest in how this novel explores disability, I just don't really feel like reading it anymore.

Author's note at the beginning states the following:

"Fourth Wing is a nonstop-thrilling adventure fantasy set in the brutal and competitive world of a military college for dragon riders, which includes elements regarding war, battle, hand-to-hand combat, perilous situations, blood, intense violence, brutal injuries, death, poisoning, graphic language, and sexual activities that are shown on the page. Readers who may be sensitive to these elements, please take note, and prepare to enter Basgiath War College. . ."

Also includes scenes of people being burned alive by dragon fire, and attempted murder.
