Fourth Wing and Fifth Wing and That Added Spice of Popularity
by Andres Atencio
I don’t even understand the hype…what with Carl?
WHAT’S THAT? -narrator.
You mean to tell me that it is Dungeon Crawler Carl, a book I think I’d thoroughly enjoy? Yes, well …yes. YES! I would. Because it seems to me that with Dungeon Crawler Carl you are getting a really fun hero. But I am not even sure as I have never even heard of…whom?
Matt Dinniman?
Rebecca Yarros? Is that you blowing up my imaginarium phone?
I think it might be.
Fourth Wing is some book that she did. And like it or not Yarros actually visited Colorado. In September of all times. Not in like ya know spring.
I am not bashing Rebecca at all. She knows her audience.
Andres? Have you even read a Yarro’s tale? Unequivocally, absoultely not. It is not really my thing. The cover almost looked like the Hunger Games but I am sure I am delusional or something, or don’t understand what did the kids say these days, ‘threshing’. Is that where you take a cheese grater and start threshing the hell outta the cheese?
So what are you doing with your free time then? Ya goof! Ya non Fourth Wing fan jackwipe?
Funny you should really even ask. I am, I think I am …AM. I am reading ‘Salem’s Lot, you jack-asses! I YAM, and so far I am really having a blast. But I have read so many Stephen King books that I don’t even really know which one I am reading half the time(That is indeed a yellow ‘pickin’ lie said the narrator) I do know what I am reading but all is characters evidently are authors. I am an author, actually , really, yes! I YAM, but I am not Yarros or Dinniman level at all. I do appreciate a great story and ‘Salem’s Lot, is such a slowburn at first. But believe you me it has picked up and that train left the station, and it is not returning. It has gone full bore.
Fourth Wing is book one, so book 2 has gotta be Fifth Wing. It goes Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and then Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Other Stone, right?

PRAISE BE ON A BURNING FERN! IT DOES NOT GO FOURTH WING AND THEN FIFTH WING?
WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING REBECCA??
Okay so it really goes Fourth Wing, and then my sleuthiness has revealed it goes, Iron Flame. Did the Fourth Wing ignite another wing? Have I read the other book? No, I have not. So this is all speculative but surely it goes Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, Steel Ball Run, right?
NOOOOOOOOOOO-narrator.
It actually goes Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, Onyx Storm. I mean I guess from an Iron Flame , there’d be some sorta gem stone or cool rock, right? So we have the order now Fourth Wing, okay some sorta winged beast. Iron Flame, some sorta cool Iron thing that is a flame that makes a sword, Onyx Storm , the storm makes zero sense but the Onyx is a neat rock. Making sense, making sense. Then it goes THRESHING DAY!
You’ve gotta be kidding me!How did we go from making a rock storm to a thresher?
Clearly, I don’t understand what the ever-living hell is going on. But we as people and book lovers can agree she has a magic potion because let me ask my stat checker — for info. STAT CHECKER. How many copies has she sold total?
VIOLET AND SAKARYA. What in the sweet hell? Violet is like the color and Xaden Riorson Sakarya sounds like a palindrome? SAKARYA. Nope. Wrong. Not a palindrome but word play on the name — Zechariah. The hebrew prophet. That guy!
Oops. I made an error. Sakarya is the actor. Xaden is the character. That is my bad!
Getting back to it. My statstician let me know that Yarros in the past 2 years has sold 12 million copies. On this love journey that she unleashed to the world. Let’s all agree she knows what she is doing. And my amount of boobery is not going to stop that, nor would I . She has a magic formula. I am just having fun. No statsticians lost their jobs to make this article, seriously, chill. I mean it. I mean it.
Can I put in a plug for Dungeon Crawler Carl now? Will that get an adaptation like Fourth Wing? Amazon Prime is tabbed with making that happen.
Have I read either book, no. But I can tell you it is an exciting time for authors nonetheless.
No , my next book is not a romance story, what do you take me for a Harelequin Writer?
But she is killing it isn’t she. So props to her and Dinniman for doing their thing. No matter the inept foolishness of my knowledge of the series!
:)
**Andres has not read any of the Fourth Wing series. So no speculation over that!
