Let me say this upfront so we don’t waste time pretending to be cool and detached: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros ruined my peace. And I mean that as the highest compliment. This book didn’t gently pull me into its world. It grabbed me by the collar and shoved me off a parapet. And somehow, I loved every brutal, dragon-filled second of it.

The Reaper is the second book in the Dark Verse series by the amazingly talented RuNyx.
