This was fine. I only read it because I was sick with the flu and Libby had the audiobook available for immediate borrow. It definitely did not need to be this long. I was a bit shocked at the twists at the end

we all knew Jack was shady and not gonna change, but rip xaden for taking one for the team

and the world building got a bit more interesting but if the next book is more than 500 pages, I'm gonna give it a miss (from the library)

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!! The story is full of drama, interesting characters, and continues seamlessly from Fourth Wing (dare I say it’s way better than Fourth Wing). 

I love when Cat is introduced and my favorite part of the story is when Cat challenges Violet on the mat. I literally wanted to be Violet in the ring. Also the reveal with Andarna is SHOCKING. I’m so excited to read the next book when it comes out and figure out how everything is resolved.

Slow to start but the ending is so fast paced and such a blur I'm still thinking about it days after. If it wasn't for the slow start, I would have finished it in 6 days instead of 6 months.

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!
