WHAT THE FUCK! I AM NOT OKAY😭
That ending was diabolic. How dare you, Rebecca!? Even after being spoiled, I was still fucking shocked. My heart is 💔
I absolutely loved this book. It's still my favourite series, and I've not read Onyx Storm, but I believe it's going to be another masterpiece.
Fourth Wing was my personal favourite, but I still loved Iron Flame. It was so good. Maybe the reread will be even better, like it was with Fourth Wing.
To be honest, the book started a bit slow, and it was sometimes a little boring because the book was so long and absolutely huge. It didn't help that I couldn't read it in one sitting like I did with Fourth Wing, but that's also because of university. But I enjoyed every second of it.
The amount of character growth is insane. Loved every character even more.
Let's start with Violet and Xaden. I am so glad that they started talking with each other and started being more open and honest about their thoughts and feelings. Communication is so important in relationships. Even the fights they had in the beginning were good, no relationship is perfect, and the fact they argued made it more realistic.
Violet is still my favourite female character. She is so me. All her versions, all her sides. I was so proud of her in this book after everything she achieved. She became even more powerful, and she amazes me every time. She learned to use her powers more frequently and trained even harder to become the best version of herself. Through the pain and the hurt, she bites her teeth and does it. She is unstoppable. She does not back down. She does not give up, even if everyone is against her and everything goes wrong. She keeps fighting, and she keeps trying. No matter how big the cost is, she does not back down. She sees the light, the solution, and she will succeed, eventually. This inspired me because I'm in a lot of shit right now. She is indeed my lighting in the dark. She lights up the sky and gives me hope. She is Violet Sorrengail, and she is extraordinary.
I'm glad we got a little more background about Xaden's past. First through the notes he wrote to Vi, but also about what he told her and when we got to meet his home. At the start, I was still a bit irritated with him because he was still defensive and took his distance. But I'm glad he opened up and that he started talking. No more secrets from now on. I absolutely loved how he declared his love to Violet. It was beautiful. He's hot, he's badass, and he would burn the world for Violet.
I was so mad at the end. Why does that happen to him? I hope everything will be okay in the end.
The dragons were still iconic in this book. Tairn is so grumpy dad core. Badass dragon, sarcastic and absolutely fucking funny. I liked every scene he was in.
Andarna, my sweet baby. She needs to be protected at all costs, I adore her. Loved her as a sassy teenager. She is a queen, and she knows it. She slayed, and she ate and left no crumbs (literally, lol).
The side characters slayed, like always. Rhi, Sawyer, Ridoc, Imogen, Quin... LOVE them. They bring so much more to these books, and I love their interactions.
I liked how Imogen and Violet became closer. I think they have like a bestie vibe, and it was good Vi had someone in the beginning that she could count on when she couldn't trust anyone else. Love my badass queen, Imogen.
Also, Dain has absolutely redeemed himself. Protect my guy, please. I feel so sorry for him now, like he's all alone and no one trusts him anymore. He's trying to make it up, and I support him.
The new characters were another slay. Aaric, I love that guy. Wish we saw more of him. Same with Sloane, my girl needs to be protected at all costs. The way she looks actually like Liam, and she is the only part of him that's still left. My heart💔
Speaking of Liam, bro had me bawling my eyes out when he came for Violet to support her when she was all alone and beaten up. He's still looking out for even after being gone.😭
I think it was nice to have so much world building. It was awesome. We saw different places and, we now know more about their real history and how everything works. The magic, the wards, and other stuff. I think it was also fun to know more about the fliers and the gryphons. There is so much information that makes this world unique, and it works so well. Everything fits together, like pieces of a puzzle. I can't wait till we know everything.
I'm excited about the next books. I already loved these two books, so I'm curious about the others.

A lengthy and detailed part of the bigget story. Friendships develop, new relationships forge; both good and bad. Some twists and turns. Slow and edging towards complicated in some parts, but some exciting chapters and a last 50 pages that will make you stay up too late to finish.

Después de un año y recomenzarlo en Febrero, al fin lo terminé.
Al parecer un break de todo ayuda al bloqueo lector.
La primer mitad se me hizo lenta y en la re lectura se me hizo pesada y en momentos tediosa.
Creo que la segunda parte tiene lo más interesante y que te hace devorar la historia.
El final me dejó en shock. Y solo lamento que el año pasado me spoilee con el review de alguien aquí :(
Entiendo porque a algunos en mi club de lectura les desesperó la pelea/tensión entre Xaden y Violet. Pero siento que es realista para una relación en ese rango de edad y de mi experiencia puedo decir que así de absurdos pueden ser los argumentos en las relaciones (no solo de pareja)
Seguiré leyendo la saga por el chisme y saber la historia de Navarre y el continente
