Curating These Fourth Wing Quotes by Violent, Xaden, and More Characters
Chances are you’ve already read and loved Fourth Wing as much as I did. And, like any really good book, you want to continue to immerse yourself in its most inspirational (and even funny) words by everyone from Violet to Liam and the dragons. This is particularly true when there’s a swoon-worthy love story like Violet’s and a unique literary world like that of Basgiath War College.
I curated these quotes based on my own Kindle highlights that I made while reading it (twice!). And, looking back after finishing the last page, I found them to be even more enlightening about the whole story arc that unfolded in Fourth Wing (including that epic plot twist at the end) and will continue to unfold throughout books two through five in the Empyrean series.
