This follow-up to "Fourth Wing" did not disappoint. It continued with non-stop action, twists and turns, and romance to make for terrific storytelling. It'll be hard to wait another year for the next book.

cozy_gremlin4's review against another edition

Super disappointed. Absolutely no more plot, it's messy, immature and focuses too much on the romantic interest for me. The random sex scene pull me out of the story (I skip them) and the pace is super slow for very little actual plot happening. I couldn't push myself to finish it; it was a significant downfall from the first book.

3.0

While I enjoyed the magic system, the dragons, and the lore in Iron Flame, I definitely found the cyclic arguing between the main characters to be repetitive. Also, Xaden’s story arc is giving Anakin vibes, and we don’t stan a self-righteous anti-hero who sacrifices sanity for… whatever he has for Violet.

I’m truly at a loss for words. That ending has me spiraling, yet again. I enjoyed a majority of this book but I do feel it was slow to get going, and then the ending was all action packed. But even being slow I still think everything was necessary. Excited for the next installment! I have so many questions and curiosities now that I just need some damn answers!
