FOURTH WING by Rebecca Yarros [Teaser]
14 januari 2025 · 9 min
Jeff and Rebecca talk about their experience reading Fourth Wing. A word of caution: the book didn't work for them. If hearing honest, free-ranging discussions of the specifics of why is going to be unpleasant, this might be one for you to skip.
