Iron Flame is a fantastic book, and I loved almost every second of it. You know, until that bit at the end.
I’m mourning the loss of a character who didn’t even die. Feeling physically ill. I’m never going to emotionally recover from this.
Still it’s somehow even funnier than Fourth Wing was, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t half because of Ridoc. Because it was.
Don’t read this book if you value your sanity because the end is almost as brain-breaking as the end of House of Sky and Breath. I need to lie down now.

- What I liked: I liked Andarna's sass, I liked that Xaden was so badass
until the very end of the book , I liked that Miradidn't even question her sister even though she defied their mother . I like that Brennan was doing everything he could for the resistance and that the dragon riders were so ready to accept and help the griffon riders. I like the beginnings of a union against the venin for the people that could see it. - What I disliked: Xaden's choice at the end, that Violet was so focused on Xaden 'lying' to her that she was a fucking moron through the whole book. The first book she poisoned everyone
and yet she drank suspicious water THREE TIMES?? THREE TIMES VIOLET YOU FUCKING IDIOT . That she couldn't solve the incredibly obvious riddle about the wards and that she couldn't figure outAndarna ISN'T A BLACK DRAGON even with her weird abilities and shifting scale colors . That she DOESN'T ASK QUESTIONS and then gets mad she doesn't know things. That she went from strong smart and resourceful to a fucking idiot in one book. - Overall thoughts: Poorly edited, a lot could've been chopped out to make for better characterization and letting us understand WHY Violet is being so stupid, that a strong woman got ruined by a hot guy for the sake of plot and she's no longer intelligent and resourceful just because she wants to be petty, the ending sucked and the book was a slog.
- Recommend to a friend? Y if someone wants to continue the series but N if someone is on the fence about the series
