二十岁的 Violet Sorrengail 本应进入文书学派，在书卷与历史相伴中度过宁静的一生。如今，指挥统帅——也就是她那位如猛禽利爪般严苛冷酷的母亲——却命令 Violet 加入数百名候选人的激烈角逐，去争夺 Navarre 的精英之席：龙骑士。但当你比所有人都瘦弱、身体又极其脆弱时，死亡便仅在咫尺之间……因为龙绝不会与“易碎”的人类结契，它们只会将其化为灰烬。鉴于愿意结契的龙少于学员数量，大多数人为了增加自己的胜算都会不惜除掉 Violet。而剩下的那部分人

……Karen Russell 的《World》（短篇小说集，不过不少算得上科幻，让我印象极深）。另外还有几部名气很大的作品也让我久久难忘：Jayson Adams 的《Infernum》；Rebecca Yarros 的《Fourth Wing》和《Iron Flame》（偏奇幻而非科幻，但如果你能接受两三段篇幅很长且露骨的床戏，写得确实相当精彩）；Terry Miles 的《Rabbits》（书里包含了一些隐藏的……
…World" by Karen Russell (short stories but many qualify as sci-fi, very memorable to me) And here are some definitely well-known examples that also stick in my head: "Infernum" by Jayson Adams "The Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" by Rebecca Yarros (more fantasy than sci-fi, but very well done if you can handle two or three extended and explicit sex scenes) "Rabbits" by Terry Miles (book includes some hidden…
Yarros 写的《Fourth Wing》，马上要在 Amazon Prime 上出剧集了。我正在重读 McMaster 2020 年的《Battlegrounds》，他的预测基本都挺准的。
"Fourth Wing", by Yarros. Soon to be an Amazon Prime video. Re-reading McMaster's "Battlegrounds" (2020). His predictions are pretty much on track.
……https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store/zgbs/digita.... 我对言情类最熟，所以就聊聊这个。这个题材包含的内容远不止这几个例子，但好卖的就是这些。• 《Fourth Wing》和《Iron Flame》都是文笔稀烂但靠 TikTok 爆火的奇幻言情。• 《Haunting Adeline》和《Hunting Adeline》则是文笔很烂的黑暗言情（https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/comments/uu1age/what_d...……
…https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Kindle-Store/zgbs/digita.... I'm most familiar with the romances, so that's what I'll be discussing. There's a lot more to the genre than these examples, but that's not what sells. • Fourth Wing and Iron Flame are poorly written fantasy romances that blew up on TikTok. • Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline are poorly written dark romances(https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/comments/uu1age/what_d...…
不过我觉得第 2 点会让很多人不爽（包括我在内）。照这么说，读《Fourth Wing》或者《暮光之城》获得的连接感体验，岂不是要比读大多数经典名著还要强。（这本身没啥错，但是……你懂的……）
I think the point 2 will rub many people the wrong way (me included) though. That would make reading Fourth Wing or Twilight a more connecting experience than most classics. (Nothing inherently wrong with that, but... you know...)
……他们依然能学到节奏把控、对白设计、情节机制，而且即便换了个媒介，能消化更多故事对他们来说可能也是预期净收益（positive EV）。做个有趣的假设反推：如果 Yarros 的《Fourth Wing》当初是按纯文学小说的路子写的，它会更火还是更不火？我猜是更不火。这再次证明了，炉火纯青的文字功底与情节编排/讲故事的能力完全是两码事……
…They would still be learning about pacing, dialogue, plot mechanics, and the ability to consume more stories albeit via a different medium may be net positive EV for them. As a fun counterfactual, if Fourth Wing by Yarros was instead written as literary fiction, would it be more or less popular? My guess is, less. Which is again to emphasize that masterful craft of language vs. plotting/storytelling are distinct…
……书还过得去。但他都去世十年了。挂着 Tom Clancy 牌子的书现在还在出，不知道是谁枪毙出来的，质量实在不咋地。如果你喜欢那种拖得老长的系列，《Fourth Wing》（就是带龙的《饥饿游戏》）出续作了，《饥饿游戏》马上又有一本填充世界观的新作，哈利·波特那边好像也有什么新动静。
…books were OK. But he's been dead for a decade. Tom Clancy branded books are still coming out, written by somebody, but they are not very good. If you like series that went on too long, the sequel to Fourth Wing (Hunger Games with dragons) is out, there's yet another Hunger Games fill-in book soon, and something is happening in the Harry Potter space.
