edge of your seat good!
One of the best books I’ve read since finishing all the sarah J Maas books! I didn’t want it to end!

good parts and mostly bad parts. kinda sucked. want to know how the story ends. wish this was the last book. this series is killing me. still need to finish. ugh
The main character has made absolutely ZERO character growth and I can’t stand her “woe is me” personality anymore. I hate the love triangle. I hate that she’s supposedly super powerful but can’t ever do anything to help. AND the next book isn’t on KU… I won’t be continuing this series.

Super slow but I’m invested in the story two books in. This one had way too many side stories that set the stage for other books.
I think I’m liking each book in this series a little more. This one had me feeling all of the emotions at different points.

I can't believe how supremely terrible this book is. And this is after giving Ironflower five stars. I was so mad about this terrible book, I spent 20 minutes in bed, trying to fall asleep, and instead writing five bad reviews about it in my mind.
What the hell happened to Laurie Forest? This book reads like it was written by a different author. The second book had colorful characters, interesting relationship dynamics, and an actual plot. This book has... Lukas Grey, and not much else.
Basically, here's how this book felt to me.
- random character story that does nothing for the plot
- random character story that does nothing for the plot
- yvan dead, just cause
- Elloren in Gardneria. Why? How? The details are never fully explained and the time gap is never filled. But who cares about that, right? Because there is...
- Lukas Grey. And more of him. And more. While in the second book he was a morally gray character, in this one - surprise! - he is a hardcore rebel. Is this sussed out and explained? Nah. Why bother? Because there's more...
- Elloren in Gardneria takes more than HALF of this stupid book. I was g r o a n i n g. It was so boring. The writing was so flat, it's like the author herself got tired of this story. It was repetitive and stale, with characters repeating the same phrases over and over, with no change in the plot besides it being 200 pages later.
- Escape time, yay! Out of nowhere friends, death, wah wah. This entire time ELLOREN IS STILL WITHOUT POWER. This is the third book in the series, titled The Black Witch, yet the witch is still powerless. How is this good writing?!
- Yvan's alive, surprise. And we are set up for the stupidest love triangle.
The entirety of this book is Elloren and Lukas and like three days worth of events. Their relationship felt like an empty space to me, there's nothing to connect to emotionally and it's so artificially forced. Bleeeeeh.
I don't even know if I want to read the last book. If it's anything close to this horrid book, I want nothing to do with it.

Another great book though I must admit Elloren annoyed me a couple of times especially her weakness and complaining but also her repeated descriptions of heat she felt towards Lukas. We get it girl. You want him, but there's is a war coming. Other than that it was a good read, I just enjoyed reading POV of other characters more. Let's see what happens next.
