The books

  1. Fourth Wing

    Rebecca Yarros · The Empyrean #1

    Spice 3/5 Darkness 3/5

    Violet is fragile and was supposed to be a scribe. Instead she's at a war college where cadets push each other off parapets and the dragons pick who lives. Fast, bingeable and meaner than the cover suggests.

  2. Iron Flame

    Rebecca Yarros · The Empyrean #2

    Spice 3/5 Darkness 3/5

    Longer, messier and heavier on the conspiracy than Fourth Wing. The interrogation chapters are rough. That ending, though.

  3. Onyx Storm

    Rebecca Yarros · The Empyrean #3

    Spice 2/5 Darkness 3/5

    Takes the story off the continent and into a lot of new lore. Less spice than the first two and more road-trip-with-dragons.

  4. Threshing Day

    Rebecca Yarros · The Empyrean #3.5

    Spice 2/5 Darkness 3/5

    Not book four. It's thirteen short stories about the riders and their dragons, including one from Xaden. Good for tiding you over, but don't expect the main plot to move.
