This was a very fun read. I don’t know the last time I enjoyed a book and its characters so much strictly for what it is and what they are, before reading this. I mean, I didn’t even need to piece together what the political structure outside Navarre could be outside the propaganda of the current administration. That’s how much into this book, I was.

This book is 518 pages long and for all the drama and tension that exists between them Violet and Xaden are perfect MCs. Flawed, brave and - imo - fated. I love that they are so young yet very smart and focused.  Unfortunately, there was so much emphasis on the budding romance that the character development and world building took such terrible hits. Although this is nothing that cannot be remedied in book 2.

Tairn, Adrana and Sgyael are stars. I look forward to seeing more of them in Iron Flame. Hopefully, Yarros will also reveal why Gen. Sorrengail is so hard on Vi.
