Iron Flame is brilliantly and beautifully written. The world-building is phenomenal. Yarros takes her readers on an emotional dragon ride that coaxes both laughter and tears out of them.

Reread #1 3.5/5
I remember loving this book the first time I read through it, but the second time seemed to drag on. I kind of forgot how unbearable Violet and Xaden are as they petty fight over trust and love. Like maybe you just sit down and have an honest conversation instead of making the other bend to your will. BUT second half is much better. I still like the characters, but there isn’t much character development throughout the book. My highlights were and still are the interrogation and the end battle scene. Could the book have been shorter though. Yes.
I still read the series, though, for the dragons. I love the dragon bonding, signets, dragon dialogue, and I just adore Tairn and Andarna.
