Nor is the fact that <em>Fourth Wing<\/em>, the first book in Rebecca Yarros&#8217; hit Empyrean series, is something of a gateway drug to this world.<\/p>\n<p>There are three books in the series, with a fourth somewhere on the way, although details around the fate of its release have been somewhat scant. As such, you might have been left with a hole in your reading schedule while you wait. Luckily, there&#8217;s plenty of similar stories to occupy your time. Below, eight books and series like Fourth Wing to read next.
