What Is the Empyrean Series About?
Before diving into the series, a friend recommended *Fourth Wing* to me, describing it as "Like the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." Intrigued, I discovered that while this comparison holds in the early stages, the series soon evolves to echo the *Twilight* saga more closely. It's a magical, fantasy romance novel that delves deeply into graphic details.
The narrative follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly fragile young woman coerced by her formidable mother into attending a perilous academy for dragon riders. As Violet navigates her vulnerabilities and strives to survive, she grapples with complex emotions regarding her mother, a former friend, and a boy she initially believes wants her dead. Amidst this, deeper secrets about the dragons and her world unfold, placing Violet at the epicenter of an intense romance.
