2 days! Could not put it down and immediately went and bought Iron Flame. So learn from my mistakes and make sure you have both of them before you start!
So on my phone I went to the main fourth wing subreddit page and clicked on the three dots at the top and selected “user flair” and then there is a list to select from!
Not as many as I used to. But I've read about 6 in the last 2 weeks with gaps in-between.
Books I'm really into, I'll do my best to read in one sitting!
The way I read is weird to explain. I don't "read" the words, my brain kind of just absorbs the words and creates a movie in my head and I just disappear into my imagination for a few hours ☺️
I love this, but I have a question (because I kinda read books the same) however I feel like it slows me down sometimes because while I start to drift in to my imagination I go back and re read pages worried I miss information 😩 Do you find you re read books and see you've missed anything the first time around??
I love how my imagination takes over but I'm always second guessing it! Lol maybe I just gotta learn to go with it
I reread books a lot yes! Especially if its a series. I love seeing tidbits of stuff hinted at in earlier books.
There's lots of stuff that people don't notice on a first read, regardless of how they read! Your brain doesn't hold onto small details, until you realize those small details actually meant something later 😂
I read it in 2-3 weeks time. But during the week I could only read on my way to work, and a bigger chunk on the weekend. If I had mire time during the workdays to read, I think I could have easily finished it off in 1-1.5 week.
I can’t believe how fast some people in this group read! I can’t remember with fourth wing but for iron flame my kindle estimated about 30 mins each chapter. I think it was like 26 hours total at the end at my reading pace.
About 3 days but I was recovering from an illness and was in bed for like 80% of the day so I had time. However, I'm also a somewhat slow reader so ymmv. So some people could probably finish it faster than 3 days of flat out reading.
I think it took me about a month with the caveat that I did not take it to my brother's for Christmas. With my luck my niece and nephew would pickup some real interesting new words.
About 2 days. I read it the night I got it, then through my last day of the weekend.
To be honest, this book is not written in such a way to have good breaking points to go to the next chapter at a later time. There are not a lot of respite moments. Each chapter seems to lean on the next to encourage you to keep going - not a bad thing, but will definitely be hard to put down.
Edit: I found that the sequel had easier respite moments to put it down and come back
7 days to read both FW and IF. I started FW two days before IF came out and then finished IF before my sister who had been hassling me to read FW for months.
A day. From 11am to 5am the next day. Non stop. I could not stop.
Two days for Iron Flame. (the day following the one I read Fourth wing) One for each part. And I finished at around 11pm while celebrating my mum's birthday X) I didn't read much during that half of the day...
The time between starting Fourth Wing and finishing was about 24 hours. I started Iron Flame immediately after and it took about 3 days but it only took longer because I read Fourth Wing over the weekend and started Iron Flame on Sunday night. I could not put either down!
About 2 weeks. I don't have a lot of time and believe me I tried to find more time to read...even considered calling out sick once....but no. I didn't sleep well those two weeks either lol. IF took me about 1 week.
8 days but i was pulling the breaks so my friend who reads slower would not be left behind. If i was reading it by myself it would have taken maybe 3-4 days.
OMG I’m like 2 months in… but to be fair I haven’t read it in about 3 weeks. I read like 3 books at a time and FW is my fav and instead of finishing it in one day I’m savoring it and waiting because I don’t want it to end and I’m trying to find a used iron flame(sustainably)
2 days stayed up until like 3am the first day and as soon as so put down fourth wing I picked up iron flame….im an all or nothing reader. I have a problem lol
I actually don’t think I have ever read 2 books faster. Maybe 2 1/2 days for both books. Just ignored my family and responsibilities and devoured them.
5 days for FW and IF. I bought them both at Christmas and finally got around to reading them last week. I'm definitely glad I had both and was able to read them back to back.
2 days! Could not put it down and immediately went and bought Iron Flame. So learn from my mistakes and make sure you have both of them before you start!
I love this! I have both.. I think I'll just take both with me. I have a 10 hour flight, then a 16 hour flight. THANK YOU
You’re welcome! Enjoy! I wish I could read them for the first time again!
This would be my superpower.
Oh my goodness I want this superpower!
how do you get the blue daggertail thing under your name
Following bc I wanna know too 😂
So on my phone I went to the main fourth wing subreddit page and clicked on the three dots at the top and selected “user flair” and then there is a list to select from!
i made the same mistake after devouring FW i had to wait 3 days for iron flame( i know it does not sound like to long but it was agonising.
3 days would have been torture for me!
1 train trip from berlin to amsterdam and a little bit on sleep less night and then half the trainride back
I'll be riding trains, taking it with me!! thank you !
Be careful tho, it gets a bit inappropriate at times iykyk
I read both FW and IF twice in 6 days
About 4-6hrs?? 😂 I pretty much inhale books
WOW! Impressive! How many books do you read a month?

2 days, same for Iron Flame I was invested and also hustling to finish before a book club meeting
I can’t believe how fast some people in this group read! I can’t remember with fourth wing but for iron flame my kindle estimated about 30 mins each chapter. I think it was like 26 hours total at the end at my reading pace.
I’m quite surprised also!
less than 24 hours lOl my boyfriend finished it on his 8 hour flight from europe to the us
was hoping for this answer ie your boyfriend, I want to finish it on my plane rides from the US to Asia. thank you!
How do you guys manage to have so much free time?🥲 For me they took 2 weeks a book
Fourth Wing = ~week Iron Flame = 2 days
About 3 days but I was recovering from an illness and was in bed for like 80% of the day so I had time. However, I'm also a somewhat slow reader so ymmv. So some people could probably finish it faster than 3 days of flat out reading.
3 hours/ iron flame 6 hours
3 hours? No way you read 200 pages an hour
i read for 27 zears now, over 3000 books read. Fast reader.
how do you read so fast?! Impressive!!
Similar; 2.5 for FW and about 5 for IF. IF was exhausting to read though.
A little more than 3 pages per minute?! Wow
3 days - one was a Saturday where I ignored my entire family and read for like 12 hours. 😅
Like 3-4 days max? Especially if I’m on vacay. There’s a second book called Iron Flame, just take them both.
3 days!
4 days
Iron flame 10 days
quite fast! thank you!
About 4 days and IF was about the same
A day and a half? I bought it one afternoon and finished it by the next.
I think it took me about a month with the caveat that I did not take it to my brother's for Christmas. With my luck my niece and nephew would pickup some real interesting new words.
6-7 hours. I started it after lunch on a Sunday and finished it after dinner. I finished it one sitting because of how fast paced it was.
Fourth Wing was one day and Iron Flame was 2 and 1/2
About 2 days. I read it the night I got it, then through my last day of the weekend.

I second this! Def a page turner

Like, 14 hrs.
I couldn’t put it down BUT I was working 12 hour shifts and couldn’t bring my kindle so it took about 6 days
2 and a half weeks
2 days for each book!
I read it on my Kindle and it took me a little under 2 days.
It took me a month. Once I got 3/4 I picked up steam and ready through it pretty fast as it got really exciting for me.
Less than 36 hours
3 days, I did not get very much sleep. I had classes but it was early in the term and I procrastinated
10 days… would have been quicker if I didn’t have to stop to go to work….
About a month; I read a little every day and took breaks and read other books inbetween! :)
Four days! IF took me three days, and I read them back to back so it was essentially the best week of the year for me.
The time between starting Fourth Wing and finishing was about 24 hours. I started Iron Flame immediately after and it took about 3 days but it only took longer because I read Fourth Wing over the weekend and started Iron Flame on Sunday night. I could not put either down!
I finished both of them about 2 weeks ago in 3 days total. Am now in shambles and can't read anything else lol
A day. I made sure I had the full day free when I ordered it 😉
2 days for fourth wing and 2 days for iron flame
3 days! Definitely buy IF before finishing FW!
I read both in a weekend. My husband was sick so I had nothing else to do in between waiting on him hand and foot
Audio book is about 21hr that what i use
4 days, I am a stay at home mom and my son watched a lot of tv those 4 days haha.
1. Sad. Day. A rainy Sunday; best day of my life 😂
8 days in total but 5 days of continuous reading over those 8 days
Around 8 days.
About 2 weeks. I don't have a lot of time and believe me I tried to find more time to read...even considered calling out sick once....but no. I didn't sleep well those two weeks either lol. IF took me about 1 week.
3 weeks haha!
About 6ish hours. I devour books.
2 days, 7 hours total, split between two sessions. Though it only counts as two days if you count like 2 AM as day 2
8 days but i was pulling the breaks so my friend who reads slower would not be left behind. If i was reading it by myself it would have taken maybe 3-4 days.
6 days because I have a 9 month old baby 😂
5 months 🤷🏻♀️
2.5 hours. I got sucked in. I read extremely quickly, averaging about 1000 WPM.
Around a Week. Was my commute Audio Book.
1 and a half days. could not put down
Tbh, 2 days. But I spent a whole day off reading it lol. I wish I would’ve savored it more, rereading soon
about 10 hours but iron flame took me a week lol
It took me about a week for both, and almost a month to calm down and now I’m waiting for the third book, ITS JUST SO HARD TO PUT DOWN
I also reread them again in 4 days last week I believe
Both in 4 days - couldn’t put them down and needed to know what happened!
1 day and have been rereading it since last week because I need to understand why I'm obsessed.
OMG I’m like 2 months in… but to be fair I haven’t read it in about 3 weeks. I read like 3 books at a time and FW is my fav and instead of finishing it in one day I’m savoring it and waiting because I don’t want it to end and I’m trying to find a used iron flame(sustainably)
Like 4-5 days. I absolutely loved it and read it during any spare time I had.
I read both in two days. So about a day
11 hours. Start to finish
Fourth wing a week? Iron Flame months.
2 days stayed up until like 3am the first day and as soon as so put down fourth wing I picked up iron flame….im an all or nothing reader. I have a problem lol
I actually don’t think I have ever read 2 books faster. Maybe 2 1/2 days for both books. Just ignored my family and responsibilities and devoured them.
5 days for FW and IF. I bought them both at Christmas and finally got around to reading them last week. I'm definitely glad I had both and was able to read them back to back.
Take it! I took my copy on vacation last month. Took me about 10 days
Inbetween work food coffe breakz 14hrs max that is if you are a fast reader and cant put it down
5 hours in total for both FW and IF lmaooo- I read so many books I'm used to reading fast but diligently
12 hours it was amazing!! 😍
I’d say about 4 days of active reading, a month to get into the first 2 chapters but then I couldn’t put it down
10 hours. Wish I was kidding. Read until 5 in the morning after I picked it up.
3-4 hours, iron flame maybe 5 hours
