Fourth Wing - The Empyrean #1

AI Rating: 3/10 - Fourth Wing integrates mild diversity (POC leads like Xaden, queer side characters like Ridoc, disability rep via protagonist Violet's chronic illness) into its dragon-rider fantasy world, but these serve character depth and plot without preaching. No progressive messaging, identity politics, or social justice themes dominate; the story prioritizes high-stakes action, romance, and merit-based survival over inclusion agendas.
