This may be one of my favorite books. I got lost in it and the outside world went away for a bit. Though I originally thought the enemies to lovers trope, love triangle, and the underdog rising up idea has been used time and again in fantasy books (thinking of ACOTAR and Hunger Games especially), Rebecca Yarros makes so many twists and turns with this story I was on the edge of my seat pretty much the whole time. She’s really good at world building and her writing style is so descriptive and effective - she’s one of those authors that is able to just articulate certain feelings or situations that are so relatable but you can never quite describe. This is my first Yarros book but now I’m wanting to read all of her work - she’s up there with my favorite authors now.

It's so good, I couldn't put it down and read it on my way to work and back, when I was supposed to be studying and when most people sleep. I fell in love with the world, the characters and the plot over all.
The characters are so well thought out and have depth, they have unique backstories and things that happened to them so you can understand how they act and why. The relationships are realistic and there's no unnecessary drama just for the sake of drama.
I love the way this book makes me not want to stop reading and how unnecessary parts of the story are just left out and only interesting and plot parts are included. It prevents people getting bored or forgetting what important happened.

I can't wait to get my hands on Iron Flame!
