Screaming. Crying. Throwing up. Why did I finish this in 3 days? The first third of the book is slow but then it takes off from there. This book doesn’t cover a whole school year like last time so I’m curious how much time the next three books will cover. Prepare to be thrilled, heartbroken, baffled, and more.

HOLY SHIT

Iron Flame took the world that was established in Fourth Wing and fucking ran with it. I didn’t see this story coming, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

This is going to be plot spoiler free, but if you don’t like emotional spoilers you should stop reading here.

The character development not just of Violet, but if so many other characters was great. Second Squad, Flame Section, Fourth Wing is some good ass found family. I love them with my whole heart. And there were some other surprise characters that really stood out in this book for reasons I wasn’t expecting! Especially around the end of part one.

Speaking of, the transition from part one to part two was NOT on my bingo card. I had no clue that was coming! Definitely a good development for the series.

There were one or two twists that I saw coming, but in a good way! I felt like I was learning things as Violet did, which means that the information was laid out in a way that was realistic and didn’t feel like it came out of nowhere. I love learning with the characters!

The end of this book hurt me so much, but it left me excited to see what comes next! 5 stars
