Xaden and Violet having the same argument over and over was annoying, but this was still a fun book and I just really enjoy this world and this story.

4/5 ☆
i’ve been fighting on if i should change my star rating on this for so long and i have officially decided to keep it at a 4.

i loved this book, but i also hated this book. and no, not because of the “miscommunication” on violet and xaden (which, unpopular opinion, i don’t think there was), but because of the so many different plot points that didn’t make sense or feel like they fit in very well where they were introduced. but i feel like that’s also on me because i need someone to spell it out for me since i can’t pull pieces together in a fantasy book like that.

too many things with too much going on, but i got the jist.

will i ever reread fourth wing? absofrickenlutely.
will i ever reread iron flame? absofrickenlutely not.

4/5 ☆
i need about 4-5 business days to process what in the world i just read. because holy fricken cow.

why do i do this to myself?
