What Is the Empyrean Series About?
When I first delved into the Empyrean series, a friend described "Fourth Wing" as "Like the Harry Potter books, but with dragons." Initially, this comparison held true, but as the story progressed, it began to echo the Twilight series with its intense, graphic romance. The series centers around Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman coerced by her formidable mother into attending a perilous dragon riders' academy. As Violet navigates her trials and tribulations, she grapples with her feelings about her mother, a former friend, and a mysterious boy she suspects wants her dead. Amidst this, deeper mysteries involving dragons and her world unfold, placing her at the heart of a sweeping romance and epic adventure.
