Fourth Wing is the worst Fantasy book I've ever read, and it's because of Violet

This may be a very offensive opinion on this book given the author probably took so much time to write it. I'm aware that there is no way this can be seen as a mere opinion on a piece of literature and can probably cause more harm than it does indifference, but this is reddit, and I'm a redditor. So allow me to explain my complete and utter despise for whatever the hell Fourth Wing was.

I'm sure there are worse books that exist, but I've had the displeasure of reading Fourth Wing, thinking it would at least make sense as to why it's so hype but it's not. I like to pick and choose the books I read, and fourth wing definitely stood out to me. Dragon military school? High stakes? A protag that wasn't meant to be in this mess? Cool Male MC? I was here for it.

Until I read it.

I dnfed it when I had about thirty pages left of the book. At that point, a person would think "Well why not just finish it?" I couldn't. This is my second attempt at reading this book and I'll never be able to finish it because Violet is just so infuriating. Her entire biography makes no sense, from being raised to become a scribe (people who don't fight), to entering this apparently terrifying dragon riding school that kills off its students (also makes no sense) with high stakes and a bounty on her head, you would think she can't survive because realistically, she shouldn't be able to. and yet she does that and beyond the abilities of even a person who grew up wanting to join this school. It doesn't help that she's teeny tiny, so smoll, a wittle frail miskeen girl, or that she apparently has this chronic illness that isn't actually specified. But her risks are way too high and her chances of surviving are supposed to be close to none. and yet??? she does that and more. She survives that, somehow bonds two dragons(which no one is able to do in the history of this world???), can throw daggers inches away from a person's face and somehow win all of her fights? Even her ability to cheat through her fights (poisioning), that also didn't make sense cuz all she did was read a book and boom, she knew how? The lightning power that is extremely rare??? Tairn??

Everything about Violet makes no sense. You grew up wanting to be a scribe without any kind of dragon riding training, and yet you all of a sudden want to be a dragon rider and it "feels more like home". Girl what?? Even though Dain was infuriating, I actually thought he had a point in the beginning. Girl, wtf do u know about this shit? Nothing. But somehow she still managed to survive. Peak fiction right there.

I actually thought Xaden was interesting though, and he's precisely the reason I gave this book a 1 star. I liked him tbh. Even though his dialogue was cringe sometimes and his romance with violet made absolutely no sense (literally no sense it went from 0-100), he was intriguing for the most part. What got me though, was they tried to push the narrative that they hate each other in our faces like their dialogues weren't purely comedic, or cringe. They tried to push the narrative that the stakes were so high in this book but violet would only tell us that, and wouldn't care.

Also Violet is always h word. Always h0rny out of her fucking mind, i'm actually sick of it. Even in times of near death, a mere glance at Xaden would steer the attention away from plot related content toward a strange unwanted monologue of attraction, I was disgusted actually. It was so gross. A little attraction here and there is fine and even if it was more than that, whatever. But Violet was thinking of Xaden's abs and beautiful face when her peers would probably die. She was thinking of how hot he looked whenever she saw this guy. it's not natural.

She's annoying, Dain's annoying, Xaden is strangely not that annoying but he's also kind of basic and all the other characters are flat. Literally no one gaf about Rhiannon, and if you do, why are you lying?
