My favorite read in 2024

Book cover of Fourth Wing

Charley Marsh ❤️ loved this book because...

This book has all the yummy feels of a good romance/fantasy adventure. I don't read fantasy – and yet this sucked me in and wouldn't let me go. Pacing was on point, characters grew, plot was plausible.
