Loved the way the romance developed in this book compared to the last one. Felt like this book was overall less strong than book 1, but still really enjoyed it. The revelations at the end were so cool!

If the Black Witch was good, the Iron Flower is incredible. Elloren grows into the strong woman we want her to become and the world building is so well written it becomes your new home. Laurie Forest is definitely one of my auto-buy authors from now on.
