I didn't enjoy this as much as the first one, but I still sped through it and I enjoyed being back in the world! I did think it lost something especially in the main characters' relationship - the dialogue felt unlike them and it was all a bit forced. It felt a bit crowded as well, but I did especially enjoy the end action sequence!

What was this book? I feel like I was hit by a high speed dragon after finishing it.

I love this world and I love these characters. All of them. Even the villains... they are perfect, cruel, merciless...

The only reason this read isn't 5 stars is because the book has a lot of unnecessary stuff. The beginning is slow (but it was the same with 'Fourth Wing') but then the story gains the right momentum. I feel this book is unnecessary long: if they just talked - they share a mental bond, GOD, just mentally talk or whatever - many of the problems would be solved; and I think that are a lot of little details that were left without explanation.

But I don't want to judge too much, maybe all the explanations are in the next book! Yes, because after this ending I expect perfection for the third book. Everything MUST be ok.

I was half and half on Fourth Wing, but I really enjoyed Iron Flame. It felt like The Emperyan series finally found its footing. Excellent world building, the story is no longer entirely just about the main characters. We get to see what it is they are fighting for and RY makes us actually feel and care for everyone involved!

Enjoyable ride overall, even if it did drag a tiny bit. It definitely feels more unique as a story to the first book.
