In this episode of Unread & Unfiltered, we’re riding dragons straight into the feminist firestorm that is Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.

We’re unpacking what strength really looks like when the world expects you to break, and asking the hard questions:

• When does protection become control?

• Why do we romanticize red flags?

• And what does real power look like when you’ve been told you don’t belong?

We’ll talk Violet’s quiet resistance, Dain’s benevolent sexism, Xaden’s emotionally constipated green flag energy, and the radical magic of female friendship.

Spoilers are saved for the end—so whether you’re a first-time reader or a BookTok survivor, this one’s for you.

Because strength isn’t silence, and control isn’t care.
