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 morphs into something reminiscent of the Twilight saga. It's a magical, fantasy romance that doesn't shy away from graphic details.
The narrative centers around Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman coerced by her formidable mother into joining the perilous dragon riders' academy. As Violet navigates her vulnerabilities and strives to survive, she grapples with complex feelings towards her mother, an old friend, and a boy she initially perceives as a threat. Amidst this, deeper mysteries unfold with the dragons and her world, positioning Violet at the epicenter of a grand, passionate romance.
