I started reading a book called Fourth Wing
Apparently, it’s rather divisive online, but incredibly popular with younger folks. It had a huge hype cycle on TikTok (of which I have resolved to never use because it would be too addicting for my ADHD brain) which I was completely divorced from. So far, I would describe it as a gritty fantasy book that takes place in a magical military academy/dragon rider training station (with the standard high mortality rate) that has the dialogue and narration style of a CW show. Yes, cheesy lines and all. I’ve chortled aloud at many of them.
And I… kind of love it? I’m listening to the audiobook at work and it’s been some of the most fun I’ve had in a while. I don’t get the hate.
Anyway, that’s been my silly side-adventure this week.
