4.5

This series is intense! I think I may have loved Iron Flame just as much, if not more than Fourth Wing. I thoroughly enjoyed more of the lore and history of Navarre and Basgiath, along with dragon lore. There were many times the plot made me want to throw the book out of frustration, so it definitely had its claws in me. 

Be ready for more secrets and some shocking revelations. No spoilers. But let's talk about that cliffhanger??! 😱🫠

I wanted to rate this 5 stars, but knocking it down to 4.5 (4 stars on Goodreads, 4.5 on Storygraph), just for the sheer length of this tome (882 pages??!). I feel like there were several chapters in the middle that could have been edited down or deleted completely due to not much really transpiring, or that this could have been two separate books. 

Despite that, I did enjoy marathoning my way through this book. I've already pre-ordered book three!

HOW DID PEOPLE NOT LIKE THIS???? its a masterpiece i fear. i gasped audibly at the ending xaden my beloved.... 
as a law student it takes a lot to keep me up at 2am reading so hats off here. something about this series just scratches my brain in the best place. i love xaden and violet soooo much, and violet is very personal to me as a fellow hypermobile girlie it means a lot to see her be a fucking badass. personally i disclote from picking a bag up so shes braver than meat least youre  xx
i have to say how much i love xaden and violet again irs been a while since a couple did this to me. that ending is sooo frustrating as a xaden lover (as a lesbian hes in my group of acceptable men) but i know its going to make SUCH a good third book. i definitely made the right decision buying the hardback and not waiting for the paperback to come out because this was everything i needed and more. people said this was bad???? i truly loved it so much.

when xaden said "the world does not exist for me beyond you" it gave alec lightwood and people who know me know that that is the highest compliment i can give to a character.

fuck me i am destroyed

Absolutely loved it book. Only issue I had was

Violets constant complaining about trust every other page

it got annoying after while until it was resolved closer to the end of the book. But still it was worth the read.

I absolutely cried when Liam came back during the interrogation/torture scene. I cried in Fourth Wing when he died and then now his ghost is here helping Violet.

This book is huge, and moves slower than fourth wing, but it’s just as dense if not more so. The length and density makes it difficult to binge read, it’s easier to read in smaller chunks. Can’t wait for Onyx Storm!
