Honestly, I need to reread this one. I read it so fast because I had to know what happened, but now I need to go back so I can pay attention to the finer details. It's such a good read with an insane ending. My emotions were all over the place.

better than iron flame, in my opinion.

this book took me over a month to read because the pages are MILES long it feels like. seriously, I would much rather have shorter pages and more of them than longer pages and less of them. but alas, I finished it.

loved the adventure, and it didn't feel rushed like iron flame now that I look back on it. also, that cliffhanger should be illegal.

I cried, too, so any book that makes me cry gets 5 stars.

This is the first book in a very long long time that made me cry. Also, I feel like my brain melted and now it needs to sort itself back together. 

The only complaint I had was the first 50-100 pages were too fast. It wouldn't have been as bad if I had the chance to read the first two recently, but I was simply confused. There's a huge cast of characters and many events that happened in the pervious books being referred to without even the simplest context that I was having a hard time following along. They did the same thing with Maas's Cresent City third book too. Like, we don't care about page number. We'd rather have the extra pages of info. 

i want to know what happened to broccoli

I had to read this book and the whole series twice because there are small keys to the plot of the story you can miss. You may need a note book and notes or notations.

What it's about:
This book picks up in the aftermath of Iron Flame. Some of the characters have to go on a quest, and new alliances are formed. There are so many secrets revealed.

What I thought:
I loved this book! It was such a fun time, and I loved not knowing what would happen next. The romance was so sweet, and I liked learning more about the surrounding land. There was also a lot of great snarky banter.

⚠️ lots of violence, gore, & swearing

🌶️ quite a lot of explicit scenes, but I was able to skim for dialogue and skip over them
