I was half and half on Fourth Wing, but I really enjoyed Iron Flame. It felt like The Emperyan series finally found its footing. Excellent world building, the story is no longer entirely just about the main characters. We get to see what it is they are fighting for and RY makes us actually feel and care for everyone involved!

Absolutely loved it book. Only issue I had was

Violets constant complaining about trust every other page

it got annoying after while until it was resolved closer to the end of the book. But still it was worth the read.

I absolutely cried when Liam came back during the interrogation/torture scene. I cried in Fourth Wing when he died and then now his ghost is here helping Violet.

Slow first half of the story - but paced amped up in the second half ! Can’t wait for the next book!

What a cliffhanger!
