What is the Empyrean Series About?

Initially described to me as "Harry Potter with dragons," Fourth Wing surprised me. While the initial premise holds true, the series quickly evolves into a more Twilight-esque narrative. It's a magical, fantasy romance novel with explicit details.

The story follows Violet Sorrengail, a seemingly delicate young woman forced by her powerful mother into the perilous world of dragon riding. As she confronts her weaknesses and strives for survival, Violet grapples with complex emotions surrounding her mother, a former friend, and a boy who seemingly wishes her harm. Underlying this personal journey is a larger mystery involving dragons and her world, placing her at the epicenter of a thrilling romance.
