The disability rep in this book is laughably bad and unrealistic. Putting aside that the disability seems to just disappear as the narrative drags on (I guess because Rebecca thought it was too difficult to write a disability she herself has in real life), the actual limitations of her disability when it DOES come up are suspension breaking. You cannot pull the smol but fast trope with someone who has EDS because speed doesn't just come from a lack of mass. If that were true then I could argue a god damn penny is fast. You have to actually have developed muscles to propel you and the problem here is that, even if those muscles were developed (which, given Violet's backstory and condition, we have no reason to assume they are), the strain they put on her joints would not only cause immense pain for Violet and cause her to trip, fall, and be paralyzed if she ever attempted to go Sanic speed. This is a pity because the disability rep in this book certainly had the POTENTIAL to be good. It had the potential to balance out the rest of the Mary Sue wish fulfillment and still keep Violet a character with actual limitations.

I started reading it because someone on tiktok said it's good, but it's sooo fucking boring. I just don't get the hype. There is dragons, but it feels like they are just hanging out and saying akward somewhat edgy shit. Also there is so much random worldbuilding at the start that we really don't need to know yet and don't care about. Also why is every man described as attractive? Like half the descricption is that he was hot.

It doesn't affect her as a character, her family disregards it entirely, even when shes riding a dragon which should probably be the worst part of this for her, everyone else has problems but not her Also isnt the sapphic character also the bi character? And the one black woman? Representation can be done well, and I know people are tired of this, but we really shouldn't put all the checkmarks into one person that doesn't really make any sort of difference.

Than authors will just throw it in for no reason. The only real reason the main character in four wing is disabled is that so that the author can claim she progressive. After the first chapters she is practically not disabled and her disability is never important again.

And people can choose the books they read how ever they like. It’s not for you or me to judge that because some people read for fun, others read for educational purpose and all other reasons.

As a bi woman, the so called ‘bi rep’ in that book is awful rep about me and my community. According to ppl who have EDS have said that this isn’t good representation for them. Why don’t ya’ll actually listen to the ppl who have these topics irl and calling it ‘good rep’ when you’re just checking off of a list to see if a novel has that and not about the quality of the content? Good bi and disability rep lies within the avatar last airbender universe, both in shows and comics. Fourth wing does NOT have good rep with these topics. Just bc the author has a disability doesn’t mean that she can write a good character based on said topic. Read a better book and LISTEN to those minorities instead of focusing on a checklist that suits your ideals of a ‘good novel’

Nowhere in my comment did I try to start a fight with anyone or try to say my thoughts were 100% correct. I've had a lot of conversations with people who both love and hate the various representations in these books. No they aren't perfect, but they at least exist, and that still makes me happy, because any note of various communities being normalized is better than acting like they don't exist at all in my opinion. I agree that rep in ATLA and Dragon Prince are way better, but again, I'm just happy to see any rep at all.

Because no book in who knows how long has pulled off the particular phenomenon Fourth Wing did😂 Generally, when a book IS the most popular one of the year, most among those who didn’t like it aren’t bothered cause they can still see why others like it while knowing it’s not for them. Fourth Wing on the other hand, with almost *a million five star ratings* at present, genuinely does have bad writing. One that’s easy to spot even if you like the book. So it doesn’t share that same leniency in the book community that previous top-of-the-years naturally had.

I would read this over and over again. Ik this book has been criticized a lot but I think it’s pretty good. The last battle scene and death really kept me on edge and the last chapter, too.

We call ourselves zebras because of how well we blend in with "normal" people but internally have to deal with a plethora of medical issues and the constant physical and mental battle to keep your body together, exactly like Violet.

Don’t yell into the void on another page just to try and be heard because it comes off as daft and falls on deaf ears.
